Thanks, Looks like that must be the part that is now on order. Thanks for explaining it. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. You have pretty much described what happened. The plastic broke right at the part that held the pivot pin in place on the handle that was removed. I would have thought that the when the repair man fitted the new handle that should have been all that was required...

I have a AEG Lavamat turbo L14850 and the door handle is broken. (Very common I understand!) We have called out a local AEG specialist repairman from Aberdeen and he replaced the handle. The only problem is that the washing machine will no longer start until you push the door in very firmly at...

Thanks for your reply. I didn't install a dampness barrier in the loft. I suppose I will just use the re-cycled plastic stuff for the bathroom. I hate itching!!! I didn't want to take the pine facing off as there are tiles on a part of it. I was just going to take the top shelf off(that...

Not really sure where to post this but here we go... I'm helping with my folks houses insulation at the moment, I've insulated the loft to the full depth, they are just about to get cavity wall insulation installed (not really sure if it is a good thing taking away that moisture barrier, but...

the links and levers are a standard size. mmm Thought that would be the case. I thought there might have been a chance of imperial/metric causing problems. (It's an old toilet) Off to get some pliers to have a bash at bending the link. Gonna try shortening it a bit.

Having a problem. One of my family had the siphon replaced in their cistern. The plumber who did it botched the job. The toilet now flushes but the lever doesn't return into place and the link from the lever arm keeps coming off. I've had a look and I don't think the angle of the link is...

There are airbricks or rather vents (the house is granite built, in North of Scotland) in the front and back of the house and there is a good airflow underneath. You can feel the wind. The dirt below the house under the foor boards is bone dry. There is no damp whatsoever. I've been...

Alright folks. I'm pretty keen to make my house warmer. It's an old 1920s style so insulation wasn't good. I've done the loft, went into voids and packed behind the plaster with glass fibre and held it in place against the plaster with strawberry netting. There has been a massive difference...

Update is, boiler is now firing up fine. How water is running fine and fires up without the heating being on. He fitted the new pressure cylinder, divertor valve and replaced the wee thermostat wheel that controls the radiator temp. He serviced the boiler as well and reckons the fan is...

Now now glasgowgas, less off the sheep comments please! I'm usually the one that dishes them out. Aberdeen is my place of residence just now but originally from the central belt. With you on Lafferty now(quick eh?), The scarve didn't come up on my comp, it was blocked. Doesn't really...

Thanks for the replies guys had a new guy out today. He fired up the boiler and played about with the little sensor at the end of the divertor valve and managed to get it to fire up with a screw driver. But no-matter what he tried he couldn't get the divertor valve to trip the switch on it's...

Eh? Confused!!

Thanks for the responses guys, I'll be off in search of another plumber to have a look at it tomorrow to come and have a look at it, replace the divertor valve (hopefully the problem) and do a service. It's had a couple of other wee niggles like water going cool then warm whilst in the shower...

Bengasman, I agree with what you say about the boiler, it has been faithfull for the ten years I've had it(It was in before that). In all the years I've had it it has has never totally stopped working. I got conned into paying a fixed call out fee from WB a couple of years ago. I've learned...

It's a Worcester Bosch 240 combi. The thing is the guy that cam eround actually thought it would might be the divertor valve, but then started going down the route of sucking his gums and saying, "this is an ancient boiler" "my mate had one of these until recently and was repairing it all...

After reading another couple of posts on here, is the guy at it? The WB boiler I have at the moment only produces hot water when the central heating is on. He did say something about the "divertor valve would cause that to happen". Is this likely? When you switch the central heating on you...

New on here! Just had a quote to replace an ageing(15 year old) Worc Bosch combi with a Vokera compact condensing boiler. (£1300 all in) The WB combi has done well but it's age is starting to show it's age and has had a couple of expensive breakdowns in the last couple of years. The...
