Thnx bud.

I'm laying an armoured cable in a trench for an outdoor light circuit, and future proofing by laying a second armoured cable to be used in the future for a garage. I know the indiviudal guages of wiring needed for both circuits, but I'm not sure about any impact of running two cables in a...

I had the (hellish) issue for a couple of months before finding the solution - since swapping the aerial it's never reoccurred though. I can imagine that the length of the pole in the other person's post could contribute, as the hum could be associated with resonance, which the pole length...

I'm a bit baffled by the instructions on fitting a new Hansgrohe Raindance wall mounted shower arm & head (and unfortunately so are Hansgrohe technical support who I have been speaking to by phone). These are the instructions, annotated with what I think it means: This is what happens when I...

Do you think it is a faulty controller, or maybe the mid position valve? Here's a video of the 3 way valve - it only appears to be moving to two positions.

Middle of last year, it's not due again for months. I don't think it's the same - that one seemed to be a new installation, where-as mine has worked for 6+ years without issue. I have a clearer idea of the symptoms now - if the controller lights for both hot water and heating are on, then the...

It's unvented mate

Hi chaps, my hot water is running warm at best. My radiators are very hot, so the boiler must be heating the water OK, but the water from the tap is tepid. Any tips about what I should look at first to investigate? Jonathan

I've had a leak coming in to the ceiling and had a local roofer out to quote (just for info, due to the nature of the ceiling it is not possible to get access to the tiles or felt from inside the property). The quote is for £450 + VAT, to cover erection of a mobile scaffold tower and ladder...

Cheers chaps I had an engineer out this morning who checked the photocell (the one that was replaced 6 months ago) and he noticed signs of deterioration - as if the outside of it was not able to withstand the heat inside the burner unit), so he swapped in a new one...problem solved. He did a...

When I woke this morning there was no hot water. The controller was set for hot water on, but the boiler was not doing anything. The lockout light was not lit, but I pressed it anyway. It then clicked into life and went through the process of clearing out the existing gases, then lighting the...

Certainly looks a similar design. Fingers crossed it fixes it for you too.

No problem...for info swapping the aerial fixed this for me - the design of the original aerial in the pics earlier in the thread was the culprit.

Is there a way to measure that pressure without a meter of some sort? And is that necessary if the nozzle is the same as the one which was removed?

I only ever have boiler problems in freezing weather conditions....seems to be the way it is. I saw your comment about the nozzle, it is the right one fitted. And also saw the comments about the flue meter, and understand the benefit, but that would mean a full service (which I cannot afford...

Thanks all, I'll take it apart again tomorrow and check the baffles and electrode alignment.

It's been some time since the combustion settings were checked (3-5 years I guess) but I cleaned the baffles about a month ago (and they were not really very dirty to be honest) and replaced the nozzle while I was at it. I've just cleaned the photocell (it was not particularly dirty, but will...

For the past couple of mornings my Iona Oil boiler has locked out when it first fired in the morning. I've then reset it, and it's then been OK for the rest of the day. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Cheers, I'll try opening a few valves a bit. The system is a boiler and tank - not sure of terminology, but it's not a combi.

My central heating has recently started making what I can best describe as white noise. It's pretty non descript ( not noticeably bubbling) just constant shwoosing and noticeably louder than normal. It's not specifically bad at the boiler but really noticeable in certain rooms. Any ideas?
