thanks for the reply foxhole, I am going down the road of amplifiers.

Thanks freddy and randongrinch, my thoughts started along that direction and I will be purchasing an amplifier.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what connectors are used to connect the loudspeakers to control board on a Samsung EU40D5520 television? probably Molex but I can't identify with my eyesight. I find sound output from LED TVs pretty poor and would like to try connecting to a pair of Hi-Fi speakers I have...

I have a Samsung EU43J5500 TV, about a quarter of the display from the top appears OK but below that there is ghosting of the image, anyone have an idea of the possible cause please.

No, the clock hasn't been touched for years.

My wifes old chiming clock now chimes the hour one less than the actual time, also chimes 12 at one o'clock. She frequently moves the hands to the correct time after it has stopped but before winding it up. Any clues as to what's happened. No force exerted when moving hands.

Thanks again Rodders and Loofah. I'm barred from driving temporarily after a stroke and repair operation but showing it for comparison seems the next move.

Hi Loofah, thanks for the suggestion but I think grease inside a plastic assembly would harden in cold water and make the problem worse. Thanks for your reply too Chris(CBW), It does appear to be an Ideal Standard fitting but modified enough to need a complete replacement, need to find the...

The cisterns in my toilets have the pictured flush valves fitted, the body of the assembly can be removed by twisting it counterclockwise by about fifteen degrees and lift out to replace the seal at the bottom, easy peasy, one of the valves has jammed open a couple of times no apparent fault and...

Yes Terry I guess it is a power shower, Bristan by the way not Bristar. Don't know how old the original shower was but the new one is about nine months old both apparently making the same noise so not a problem with the shower itself. I can only assume there is an obstruction in the pipework...

Hello Terry, the new shower is another Bristar, same model, and yes it is on the same floor as the hot water cylinder and the cold side is fed from the loft tank. Should the shower pump be able to cope with this arrangement.

the shower apparently has no model identification on the case, I would need to visit to take the cover off. Hot water is supplied from a standard boiler to a hot water tank on the first floor of the house, cold reservoir tank is in the loft immediately above the cupboard holding the hot water...

Hi Terry, what I didn't say before, daughter got a new shower fitted but with the same model because of the expense of making necessary alterations to the shower cubicle. the new shower is just as noisy, which is why I suspected water pressure.

My daughter moved into an ex-MOD house and the water supply is still provide from the MOD site across the road, not very high pressure. The shower is a Bristar pumped model and a few seconds after switching on it becomes very noisy, the pump motor seems to labour getting enough water through. Is...

Thanks Rodders and ericmark, I can use the centuar to prove aproblem

Is a Horstmann Centuar 27 a direct replacement for a Honeywell 27, they both look exactly the same?

A few weeks ago I read about a room stat which appears to be partially programmable as it had a bank of I think four DIL switches inside the case on the upper right. As far as I remember the switches could be set to periodically run the boiler between the times of the temperature sensor going...

Maybe off on a tangent but I had a similar noise in my system a few weeks ago, it happened when heating or hot water was called for, and again when he boiler cycle finished, in each case for about a minute. the fault turned out to be the valve actuator motor, I assume the bearing was worn and...

I would think that the clear tube which has closed up would be a problem.

In the servicing instructions for a Potterton Suprima 50 boiler, section 4.3 9 the procedure is listed: 1/ Disconnect wires from sensor. 2/ Depress the clips on the outside of the sensor and pull it clear of the pipe. 3/ Re-assemble in reverse order, use fresh conducting paste...
