    Kerosene space heater problem

    I have a Dirty Pro Tools 30KW Kerosene space heater - practically un-used but out of warranty. The circuit board BGO1601-125 seems common to lots of Brand Names. See picture Last time I went to use it although the temperature LED display lit and showed the correct ambient the LED lamp above the...

    73mm / 2 7/8" corrugation in pvc

    I have a large shed - ex deep litter harlow shed - which has cement sheeting on the roof with about 8 corrugations per 23" - or about 73mm - or 2 7/8" I used to find in Wickes a PVC sheet with the same corrugation which was great to replace the old fan outlets with a rooflight instead - also a...

    Best type of lighting for a large garage

    I have just built an 8m x 6m garage/workshop with a nice high roofspace - 3.5M to the purlins and collar ties - clear below. My question is - without going overboard on cost - what would people recommend to use these days as there are many newer devices than the old fluorescent tubes

    How to strip the knobs off a Travi Traditional ZIDL E3115A?

    I have searched through dozens of threads here without coming up with a solution to this one. I found some links to data sheets but the pages were no longer available. I prised out the plastic plug on the on/off valve expecting to see a screw securing the head of the tap but no - just a...

    New problem with old stuart grohe 2.4 bar SRGD50 shower pump

    My son reports his shower has started to fail to pump cold water if a second person goes in for a shower - but continues to pump hot water. I got him to check that the header tank was being refilled properly and stayed pretty full throughout. Can the pump itself fail intermittently at one end...

    V4043B -which way round?

    I am preparing to fit a 28mm Honeywell V4043B normally open 2 port zone valve in a gravity flow circuit in a pump bypass. The idea being to allow maximum thermosyphon when the pump is not called to run but shutting when the pump comes on. (The smallbore and thermosyphon share this pipe at this...

    Injector tees - Straight versus 90 degree

    I am looking to improve my primary gravity flow by introducing an injector tee on the pumped return - I see on ebay a 90 degree one that would be easier for me to fit than the straight through one - but as it limits the pumped return to 22mm I wonder if the 90 degree one would perform generally...

    Ferroli Falcon - pump runs till DHW turned on

    We have an old Ferroli Falcon in the family - not the Mark II. After sorting out a screwed up central heating program I fired up the boiler on central heating for a few seconds, then turned it off at which point I noticed the pump kept running - ok perhaps that is normal, but if I drew some DHW...

    oil burner lockout after 7 seconds

    My Mistral Oil boiler uses a Monoflame Minor 1 kero pressurejet burner with a Danfoss BHO11.1 control which is now obsolete. Recently while re-arranging some programmer connections and changing a very worn/dirty main power switch I think I have "spiked" the control box or photocell. The mod I...
