It is a relatively old set and all the newer ones I have have a memory function. Personally, I think it's defect, but whatever it is I find it annoying.

That sounds like a great idea! I assume that I would just have to put a switch on anyone of the three output cables from the controller? It does sound like a bit of a faff and someone suggested I should just buy a new set of lights but where is the fun in that!

My lights are the ones where each light is only a single colour so I assume this wouldn't be an issue?

Thanks for the replies. I had assumed that the transformer output was DC but now I've actually checked it is AC. The controller is factory sealed so wary about trying to break it open, but I might have to just for curiosity sake! If I do and can't work out the wiring I'll post a photo. Thanks again.

I have a set of standard 240 LED lights set with an 8 function controller. However, it has no memory so every time the lights are turned on they have to be set to static. Therefore, can I remove the controller box and connect the lights direct to the transformer? If this is possible can someone...

Thanks, I'll give it a go. There might be an issue in that the blockage, if it is a blockage, is someway along the pipe, so will this reach a relatively long distance. Worth trying though.

Issue with a non-draining shower. It's an upstairs shower which does not drain well and if you carried on running the shower it would eventually overflow the tray. I had assumed it was partially blocked so did some pretty aggressive plunging, but nothing nasty came up. What's odd about it is...

A quick update as I've just checked online with google and it is covered under warranty despite having been free and not installed for 18 months. Google have gone up in my estimation!

Thanks and I will give it a try.

No problem and thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, it came free with a new boiler (from Mr central heating) which was purchased about 18 months ago, but I will try contacting google and see what they can do.

The thermostat is just dead. When I first plugged it in a few weeks ago when I first installed it, it didn't work, but after a couple of hours it came to life and has worked fine until today. The heating can be turned on through pressing the centre button on the heatlink that's installed next to...

I recently installed a Nest E which worked fine once the battery on the base unit had been charged up. However the thermostat has stopped working in that it's just dead. Its powered via USB and the charger is working as I've checked it with another device, but the cable is hardwired so cant tell...

Thanks for the advice. It does seem straightforward so hopefully I can do it without needing further help!

I'll do the switch first as too much going on at the moment. It's a Nest Thermostat E which I have a look at after Christmas. I assume they are relatively straight forward to instal? Many thanks for your help.

Brilliant, thanks as did what you suggested and boiler fired up, motorised valve opened and radiators now warming up! The boiler and valves are only 18 months old so pleased that they are working. Not sure of the age of the digistat as was installed before we bought the house. I have a Nest...

Issue with main radiator heating. The system has two 2 motorised valves one for radiators and the other the underfloor heating. Underfloor and hot water work fine. Initially with the rads when calling for heat the pump would run but the boiler did not fire up. Checked the motorised valve and...

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. Where is the "lack of sealant" and what is the splash hitting? There shouldn't be any sealant visible in either of the two photos, nor is any part of the sink visible. All the photos show is the worktop and the drawer front. Water has simply spilled...

Yes it is a square edged worktop with a factory fitted strip, so at least I can't say it's been bodged by me! The worktop is level and the sink is just used in the usual way so it's not been exposed to more water than normal.

Because its completely dry everywhere else, there is absolutely no evidence of water leaking from anywhere and the supplier agreed. Here is another photo which might make it clearer. For the record it's an Ikea worktop.

Thanks for the advice and I'll do that with some clear silicone. I am surprised as well, as surely they should be designed to cope with some water spilling over the edge. Just to clarify the water damage was caused by water dripping over the front edge of the worktop.
