hotrod - Below is the best diagram i can quickly make. There is a straight line of about 5-6 trees and they are roughly 30 metres away and about 1-1.5 times the size of house. freddymercurystwin - if i could, i would m8, but it comes down to recession, i.e. very few will buy the property and...

thanks for your recommendation guys. bigall - I like the idea of the sun pipe, but since this is a standard 4-bedroom terraced property, i'm just thinking how i'd bring a sunpipe from attic to ground floor. If i want the light in the center of the room, i'd have to have a pipe pillar going...

hi guys, i've got a major problem. I live in a conservation area, where trees block the sunlight to the rear of the house. I get light only at at the further-end of the garden, but not near the house, making our living room very dark. I tried to get planning permission of getting a...

Thanks very much Dibsh. If i go for a DVR then which quality is the ideal one for me? i.e J2000? MPEG4? or H2.64?

thank u guys. @ OwainDIYer - the problem isn't choosing the cameras, but deciding a DVR option mate...also surely an inbuilt memory card storage would be way too small, considering i want the recording to be an least one night's worth? @ Firesec - Thanks for that. Approximately what kind...

hi guys, i'm hoping someone can help me with choosing the right options for a cctv system. I want to setup a two-camera (one front one back of house) and be able to record it at night. I have three options:- 1. Get a DVR card and use my pc to record. 2. Get a usb 2.0 DVR for my laptop...

where have all the experts disappeared to? :cry:

any ideas guys?

thank you for letting me know shambolic. Since i didn't have any sonic or other cleaning agent, i used warm water and left it to soak for a couple of hours last night. I then tapped it, although nothing came out. I also used a hosepipe to test if the water comes out from each hole without...

Guess wot guys! I've managed 2 take off the Plate HE! :shock: Boy oh boy that was not easy as i decided not to take the risk and shut off all electricity, gas and water. Anyway the plate is like a rectangle shaped tin with some arrow shaped designs and with 4 round holes (approx 1cm in...

I'm sorry gasman mate, but I got confused when you mentioned "HE" in post 7 rather than "plate HE". My apologies and i really do appreciate what your advicing me mate. Thank u

right brilliant! Thank You. I will try to clean the HE first and then the plate HE behind the pipes. One thing though...do i need any accessories such as gasket, sealer or anything else?

yes i do mate. The plate is behind the pipe, and the HE is the tank itself right?

:? I thought the HE is the big tank with a burner and the Plate HE is the one just above/behind the pipes or am i wrong?

Thank you and sorry Gasman if this sounds like i'm repeating like a broken record :oops: but do you mean Clean the Heat Exchanger and not the plate?

thank u gasman. The dilemma i have is that what if its not the HE plate and i end up replacing it for nothing. From what you've read in my last post which explained what happens when i run the tap, does it definately sound like the HE plate?

ok thankyou mate. I've been doing a bit of a 10 min test myself and the following is what i have observed:- 1. The first time when i open the tap, boiler burner light kicks in for about 20 secs and warms the water up quite a bit, but then goes off (cooling the water) and after a while...

anyone?

thank u freddy. I'll post the plan as soon i can, but we've got some boiler issues at the moment, so they'll have to take priority for now. FYI, i've just posted my boiler thread here: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1644058#1644058

hi guys, I have an Ideal ISAR combi HE24 which was fitted approx 3yrs ago. The boiler has been working fine, but has over the last week developed a strange issue. When we open the hot water tap, we get reasonably warm water, which then becomes luke warm within about 5-10 secs and then goes...
