I need to replace a Heatline radiator but I understand they are no more. How long ago did they cease & is there likely to be any kicking around the supply chain somewhere? It's an unusual height at 750mm & I'd rather not have to rejig another set of mounting brackets. Is there any kind of...

Thanks @ETAF & @Stivino, I've now managed to get the job done with the blades in the box. I bet you're dying to know how, right? :unsure: I discovered the speed control for the multitool... :ROFLMAO:

I need to lift a section of floorboards that have a dividing wall on top, so need to cut along the joists. No problem I thought, I can finally use that Bosch mulitool that's been sitting in its box for a couple of years. Charged it up, fitted the blade & away I went - not! The two supplied...

The BT/EE Pro Box isn't bad & CEX have them from £75 with a 5 year warranty, Remote is quite small though. Humax have lost their way in recent years & seem to struggle with poor software.

Quick update that may help others. I went for Vado in the end but wish I hadn't. The basin was incredibly easy to fit, with no messing trying to align the overflow. But the mechanism is plastic, with a fair amount of play, so the overall feel is somewhat cheap as the "mushroom" plug wobbles...

Time to replace both basin & bath wastes so was looking at pop-ups. Then started looking at Screwfix, reviews of which suggest they are all varying degrees of garbage, regardless of the spend. Is that really the case or is there brand that doesn't leak/stick/disintegrate?

For anyone interested in future: With the door open, there are screws in each corner holding the oven to the cabinet frame. With those removed, pull the oven forward. There are then six screws holding the control panel in place. Two underneath & two at the rear of either end. With those...

Thanks @Exedon, that was my feeling. Should the installer register with building control or is that down to the householder? Does that normally entail a visit to the installation? @Nozzle, presumably so although no sign now. I think that was added after they left.

Would appreciate some thoughts from anyone OFTEC registered on what appears to be a bit of a bodge job on a neighbour's new installation.

I have two doors with Yale Platinum Eurocylinders that I'd prefer to be keyed alike. I know I can order a replacement to be keyed using the key code of one, but they're not cheap. So can the barrel of one be reconfigured to match the other?

Anyone have a link to a service manual please? Or at least how to access the electronic timer? Timer can't be set as the buttons are inoperative. I'm hoping just stuck/dirty & a clean will bring it back to life.

Thanks, it is indeed 20mm radiused with two hooks. No screws but YouTube seems to suggest the rivets can be drilled & replaced.

Four year bump! It hasn't got any worse but I'd still like to sort it. So now I know that the lock mechanism is called a gearbox & that's presumably where the issue lies. The lock is a Winkhaus & I'm waiting on them to try to ID. Apparently they prefer measurement & images to simply stamping a...

Thanks, I just hoped someone would have installed these & recognised it. On balance it will be simpler to just replace it rather dick around with something apparently obscure.

Cersanit close coupled WC, aprox 10 years old. The dual flush buttons sit in the middle of the cistern lid & screw through the lid to the flush valve. The fill valve is bottom entry & has a blue cap. I'm hoping someone can identify from this as I'm not at the property! The fill is extremely...

Kind of my thoughts too, but seems to be one of these. Just episode 5,379 in my life of "Why is nothing ever standard!?" Given the cement lasted 20 years, I might just re-bodge it. It'll likely see me out...

Would this be better in the plumbing section? The bottom of the square downpipe was mortared into place. This has now cracked & split to reveal the bodge underneath. Sunk into the concrete is a black plastic pipe with an approx 82mm internal diameter. The square downpipe just sits on this so I...

Thanks for the input. By upgrade kit, are you talking about upgrading the panel by adding something to it or replacing it completely? Either way I'd be grateful for specifics as last time I enquired with the installer about moving to VOIP, they wanted £150 to install a GSM dialler + monitoring...

Trying to assist a neighbour who seems to be getting little help from the installer. The panel was installed in 2016 with an analogue dialler that sent a text when activated. That has stopped working with the installer blaming "new telephones". In fact the PSTN service is still active & I've...

Thanks John. I'd actually found the original carb & had a practice stripping that. But my local Screwfix was out of carb cleaner so had to order some. In the meantime a local guy who'd been recommended got back to me & said he could collect in the afternoon, so it's gone off with him. Biggest...
