Hi. I have (very generously) been given a 2nd hand upvc door and frame, which I am hoping to fit, but sizes are different different. I have keys. The questions: What can I use to pack the sides of a uPVC door if the width of the opening is wider than the frame? (can I just use tannelised...

I have googled, and it seems the issue is likely one of the solenoids. Is there a way I can confirm this before investing in the part? Also, if it is one of the solenoids, can someone let me know how to identify the part needing replacing once I open up the machine? (I gather there are...

I have a Halstead Ace High Boiler, and think the expansion tank needs repressurising as there is a small but consistent leak from the air vent while the heating is in operation. While in theory, I know how to repressurise it, and the relevant pressures, I canot see how to gain access without...

Hi All. I have a 9448+ alarm which was professionally installed a few years ago. Ideally, I would now like to move the panel. There are 2 questions I need to ask. 1. Should the alarm be on a fused spur? (it isn't) 2. What should be the spec for the mains wire? Thanks

Appologies for the naff diagram. My outhouse lets in water, surprisingly. It is concrete floor, concrete slab roof (with no overhang) and single brick walls. I can see no evidence of a DPC for the outhouse. How can I waterproof the walls? And what can I do about the floor? Most of the...

Hi, I have a Zanussi WJD1257W. The NTC probe went in June 2011, then again in Dec 2011, and looks to have gone again. Is there any reason why this component would break so frequently? The machine is in a very damp environment, but has been for the last 7 years or so, so perhaps...

I have a Zanussi WJD1257W, product number 914601406/00 which no longer seems to heat on the dry cycle. I've seen in a different forum that there is a way to test the dryer via the diagnostics/engineer mode, but think it was for a slightly different version and managed to get an E93 error when...

I have a Zanussi WJD1257W which suddenly did not want to spin. I went into diagnostics mode to try to check for any fault codes, and somehow managed to end up fixing the spin issue, but in the process also managed to turn the 'beeps' off, and had no heat on dry cycle. Following some...

The washing side of things seems fine, but the dryer seems to get about 20min into a cycle and then jumps to the end. ie setting timer for 50 min seems to go ok till about 30min remaining, then suddenly is on last minute and finishes. Same applies at 1:50 suddenly jumps from about 1:30 to...

I've a Halstead Ace High that had problems with DHW not working. Put inline filter (spiratech) changed DHW h/e. Ran with Fernox F3 for 1 week and all was fine. Drained system, refilled with F1 inhibitor added. Boiler worked fine for a few short water draws and heating fired. looked good for...

I have a Halstead Ace HIgh boiler which is providing intermittent hot water. When a a hot tap is open, the water gets very hot, then the boiler cuts out, then fires up again. Leaving the tap open for a while causes kettling, and the overheat to trip. The problem seems to be that the gas...
