For what it is worth boiler stat was on around 3/4. It was set on higher but for some reason boiler kept locking out so had to reduce it slightly. Added some new inhibitor as none had ever been added for the past 15 years......

Well thanks guys it was the cylinder thermostat. I turned it down to around 40 degrees and like magic everything turned itself off. At the moment it is set to around 55 degrees and it works fine. Whether it was sticking or not I will never know but I think it struggles to get above this temp. I...

Hi all. Can anyone please help ? Recently when hot water is on the flashing green light stops on permanently on the boiler. I have 2x2 myson 2 way valves on an unvented system in the airing cupboard. One for hot water and one for central heating. The 2 way valve stops on permanently for hot...

Sorry Dave not made myself clear. Garage has been converted to a dog grooming parlour. Just a small ring main in there. My question is really how do you attach a ring main of 6 sockets and a supply for a cooker off a radial supply off a 32 amp circuit breaker from the main consumer unit ?

Thanks for your reply. Lighting circuit is already sorted off existing board. Will this suffice ? http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-2-way-populated-rcd-garage-consumer-unit/6348g

Hi I am trying to save a few quid and do a lot of the work myself. I am not a noob but would like some advice. At present I have a 10mm radial supply coming in to a kitchen extension from the consumer unit which was added by a qualified electrician in garage when extra work was done to house. It...

Hi I have a house with 14 radiators. The 2 doubles in the lounge always remain stone cold. The only way to get them to work is to turn all the others off and then they heat up. I had the same problem last year, had them balanced but the same thing has happened again. My boiler is a conventional...

Hmmmm I have done 2 things and one appears to have worked. I took the thermostat off the cylinder and laid it on the floor, and I have bled a bit of air from the hot pipe and now the water is hot. I am curious to know which has worked ???

The hot water pipe going into the middle of the cylinder coming from the motorised valve is really hot. No the central heating is not turned on but that works fine. There is a small bleed valve on top of the pipe which fits on top of the hot pipe which I have bled and a small amount of air...

Hello Mick Sorry what do you want me to put thermostat temp. on initially. At the moment it is clicking on about 25 degrees. It is the strap on type. OK turned thermostat right down, turned hot water on and waited. Nothing then turned thermostat up and like you said Mick, after about 10...

Hi Cylinder stat was set at 60 degrees. Turned it up to 90 but it made no difference to water temp.

Can anyone please help? The hot water from my cylinder supplied from my boiler has gone luke warm. The pipework before and after the motorised valve is hot before it goes into the hot water cylinder. The central heating is working fine. I have a conventional boiler Suprima, the Cylinder is...

Its the worlds smallest toilet, I only have an 8" gap on the side to work round !!

Hi Can anyone please advise a foolproof way of making a once only watertight fitting connecting a 15mm brass compression fitting on to a plastic threaded connection on the waterfill on a toilet. The water is mains supply. Because of the lack of space around the toilet I can only make this...

Thanks hooting owl. You have been a great help. Paul

Thankyou for replying, yes it is the cold water supply, will some silicon suffice under and around the washer also I cannot get a spanner to undo the plastic nut securing it on the underside of the cistern. I only have about 18" working space so do I have to take the whole toilet out?

Hi Any help gladly appreciated. My toilet has started leaking where the water pipe enters the bottom of the cistern. My first problem is I cannot take off the top of the cistern, I have tried turning the outer ring on the 2 buttons anticlockwise but the whole mechanism turns. How many turns...
