    Upstand behind hob.

    I tiled mine in the end. However several times after doing that I put my hand on the tiles behind the largest heat ring after it had been on for a good 50 minutes with a large pot on it and there was minimal heat transferred to the tiles.

    SimpliSafe Alarms

    Hello. I was thinking of an outdoor camera for the front and possibly one for the back garden/door. Alarm box, probably a couple of door sensors and 1 or possibly 2 interior movement sensors. The cameras would have to provide decent quality images otherwise they are pointless. It would have to...

    Hot water and heating at the same time.

    Thanks Chris. Got it working for now and will carry out a proper repair when I have more time. Measured the pipe with a vernier and got 22mm. Didn't see it was stamped lol.

    Hot water and heating at the same time.

    Chris, you mentioned the lever on the actuator head. Do you mean the one pictured on the side of the actuator as that will not move with the actuator in my hand and although the various positions seem to be ok as in my first post when heating or hot water are on. Also the actuator is very warm...

    Hot water and heating at the same time.

    Getting confused now. My actuator (head) appears to be working ok so is it not just the valve body I need? https://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/motorised-valves-actuators-c-24.html/port-valves-c-24_46.html/acl-drayton-invensys-6793-22mm-3port-valve-body-p-314.html Need to measure if it is 22...

    Hot water and heating at the same time.

    Hi Chris. It is the spindle in the actual valve. Will move with pliers but not convinced I am getting full range of movement.

    Hot water and heating at the same time.

    Hi Guys. Regardless of whether I ask for heating or hot water, both come on together. I suspect the 3 way diverter valve is sticking. I can move it with pliers but not my hand. If I take the motor drive off I appear to be getting all 3 positions. See pictures in order of 1 Heating, 2 heating...

    Intergas boiler?

    Looking at replacing my old Gloworm Ultimate boiler with an Intergas one. Did a search on here and found one recent post asking if they were good but it seemed to quickly degenerate into an argument. So overall are they as good as anything else out there or should I be looking at something else?

    Urgent. No heat as boiler thrown a wobler.

    Pushed for time and desperate so bought a pcb from ebay for £20 on Sunday night, fitted it tonight and we now have heat. When I get time I will bring my fluke meter home from work and check out the actual fault on the old pcb out of interest. As the boiler is 16 years old going to look into...

    Urgent. No heat as boiler thrown a wobler.

    I don't know what the fault is hence I am asking for advice. Did a Google after posting the question which has suggested the PCB is at fault.

    Urgent. No heat as boiler thrown a wobler.

    Replaced the fan (at the top) last year as it was starting to seize but can easily check it again. Just done a Google on it and looks like it is a relay on the PCB that has failed.

    Urgent. No heat as boiler thrown a wobler.

    Hi guys. Need your help with this. Appreciate I probably need to get professional help in though. Came home early hours from a 10 day holiday and there is no action from the boiler.
