Interesting. Which orientation? LED strip on the plinth facing forwards or on the trim facing downwards? Could you draw it? Aluminium?

I wonder about removing the plinths though and snagging on the LED strip? And would you use a profile, with diffuser, or not?

The ones I've fitted previously are from this range Seamless I've been very happy with them, and the supplier.

Hi, I've previously installed LED strips to my kitchen wall cabinets, so I'm familiar with the process. I'm now thinking of adding LED strips to the plinths (kickboards) but I'm not sure what to do. The strips I used previously have sticky backing so could be installed without profile -...

Much appreciate your responses. I must confess I didn't understand everything you wrote there. But, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think you're suggesting that 79C is close to shutting off the burner due to overheating. Is that correct? I've looked through many of the menus and I can't work...

I had a bath! I monitored the boiler while I was running the bath. Readings as follows: d.36 initially 10 l/min settling to 9.7 ... 9.6 at intervals d.40 55, 74, 76, 78, 77, 78, 79 d.41 45, 54, 56, 57, 56, 56, 55 Water ran hot the whole time. One thing that dawned on me - I guess I knew...

Thanks. I will probably try the bath test this evening. I'll get the Mrs to run the bath while I monitor the boiler. I think the S parameters are status parameters. They are shown under the Live Monitoring menu item but they only show the current status and are not stored as far as I know.

OK Test results 1: Unfortunately they are unremarkable This was the shower d.36 after an initial burst settled at around 3 l/min d.40 65 to 62 d.41 55 to 53 The heating had been on prior to the shower. No temperature fluctuation reported. The only thing I should say is that my wife doesn't...

Just to update while I'm waiting for the Mrs to decide to shower/bath: The boiler was installed 2 years to the day, pretty much. The system was power flushed as part of the installation. It was serviced after about 16 months. I think I can safely say that this "hot water going tepid for a...

TBH, I wouldn't be able to say for certain because it happens so infrequently it's hard to remember. Most recently it happened to me in the bath. I ran the hot water to top up the bath - and after a while it ran tepid. I wouldn't be able to say for sure at what point it happens in the shower.

Target flow temp is 65 DHW is set to 58 Need get the Mrs to have a shower/bath (!) - so that I can monitor the boiler as it's happening.

Thanks for that. I'll report back when I know more.

OK thanks. That test at the bath will have to wait until tomorrow. I can confirm that there are no faults logged in the fault list. I would have thought that if it heats enough to trip the burner then that would be logged as a fault, no?

This seems to be mentioned a lot on tinternet. I wouldn't dream of getting inside a boiler but can you explain to a layman, or point me to something that explains what this is? I'm somewhat baffled that this would happen on a fairly young boiler that's been serviced this year. Actually I...

This is the first time I've monitored these things inside the installer menu, so bear with ... d.036 = 5 l/min up to 5.13 l/min d.039 = in my menu this is some solar thing so not cold water temp d.040 = 68 d.041 = 54 This wasn't the bath tap, btw, but the nearest tap to the boiler. I ran it...

That's interesting. The only thing I'd say is that, when I've experienced this in the shower (and it doesn't happen every time) it'll go tepid once but after that it stays hot. It doesn't cycle hot/tepid/hot/tepid. The other think I'm not sure is, whether this only happens when the central...

I have a Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 832 combi boiler that was installed a few years ago. I'm wondering if there's a fault with the boiler. I've experienced this and had "complaints" from my wife that's she's experienced the same. It's happened with the bath and the shower. Today I was running a...

Ah yes, point taken. However, my chime is about a metre inside the front door so they should hear that anyway. Thanks. I hadn't realised that. I'm hoping this transformer will be OK, obviously, seeing as it is within spec - just. If it fails, I'll get the Ring plug-in one. They're £20 if...

Just a quick update. Ring Doorbell Wired and Chime arrived today. I reconnected the old 8VAC 1A Honeywell D753 transformer to the CU (my mistake, it's Honeywell not Friedland), and connected it directly to the new doorbell using the existing wiring (actually that's not entirely true - the...

Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to see how it goes then. Out of curiosity, what goes wrong after "a bit"? Does the transformer burn out or something? If I were to need a different transformer, ideally I'd want a similar replacement to the Friedland, in the same location sitting...
