Still keepin' the auld 28 going but it's getting noisy when heating the central system; quiet, almost silent when heating water. I suspect the pump is on the way out. Any suggestions on how I check? Would be much obliged for any input.

When we turn on the hot water tap the boiler fires up but instead of water coming out of tap being hot (its lukewarm at best) the radiators start to get hot. I suspect that water heated in the combustion chamber is not being diverted to the secondary heat exchanger but instead circulating in...

Just took me over 4 hours to refill central heating system. I am thinking that filling cock on the boiler side of filling loop is only allowing restricted flow. Reason for thinking this is that flow to filling cock seems to be fine, as judged by disconnecting fill loop with mains cock open...

I would be very grateful for help diagnosing a fault with my diesel Saab 9-3, 1.9 TiD (150 bhp), 57 reg, 55k miles. It has been running great (good mpg etc), but when I started it yesterday it run rough, it was barely turning over (like a flooded carburettor or missing spark plug on petrol)...

How do you edge a carpet to sanded floor boards? The wall between our dining room and lounge has been knocked through, and I want to carpet only the lounge side: too many drafts for my liking. The width of the opening between the two rooms is 2.1 m. I was thinking of nailing down chamfered...

Any advice appreciated. Machine failed to complete wash cycle. So tried to put onto spin cycle before unloading and investigating. Would not start spin cycle. Heard what I think is drainage pumps kicking in, but drum does not rotate. Fault indicator lights are high water level (i.e. what...

Microwave still works, but when you start a programme in makes a load thunk sound. Any ideas? Is it the magnatron (or whatever it is called) on the way out? Thanks in advance for any replies. Scare the heck out of my wife and daughter and the dog is too scared to come into the kitchen.

The 'life and strife' tells me that the indicators don't always work and sometimes, when the headlights are on, the mainbeam flashes on and off. Every time I tried this weekend, could not replicate the fault. But to be fair, I had started by pushing in all the fuses. Indicators and headlight...

Normally get spark by depressing dials. No longer sparking and no noise - all four dials. Possible fixes would be appreciated.

Dear All, The above machine has given great service, but a couple of weeks ago I had to replace the magnetic value on cold water delivery. It would not stop filling. Everything seemed okay, but this week the machine has started to get ‘noisy’ when pumping out water from drum. The noise...

I have been reading through the posts on shower extractor fans and I have worked out that I probably need to vent through the roof via the loft space. My plan is to exit the roof, which is pitched and tiled, using a 4-inch solid duct that will pass vertically through an angled sealing cone...

Vokera Linea 28 Comb. Boiler Over last few months DHW supply has become unreliable; it gets to 52 oC and then switches off until temp drops to 28 oC, then it reheats. Each cycle is 3 to 5 min. CH seems okay. I suspect that the heat exchanger for the DHW is clogged with limescale, even though...
