Hi When we did our extension 10 years ago, we gravelled over part of the garden (with a proper sub base) to enable us to park there. It went over the main waste pipe - roughly 45-70cm down (we live on a hill). If memory serves, it was concreted over at the time, under the sub base. Obviously...

Possibly one that the answer will be 'get an electrician in' but.... My wife would like to put the tumble dryer in the shed. It's only 10m from the house, but the nearest plug (outside) is 18m away, or I can connect directly to the [RCD'd] garage, which with all the ups and downs of hiding the...

Hi I have a conundrum, and I'd love some advice We have rust particles in our cold water. Only the cold water taps of the the two bathroom sinks, and the bath. The hot taps, cisterns, white goods, outside tap, kitchen tap are all not affected. There is no header tank - it's a sealed...

I can't see one to be honest. It's not on the front or the side I have access to

Hi Possibly silly question.... we've got a Worcester 30Cdi classic, and there's only a temp dial for the CH. Is the DHW off that dial, or is it set elsewhere? Can't find it anywhere in the manual Can I turn down the CH temp, without running the risk of getting legionnaires? Many thanks!

I've never heard of them, and a heating engineer has just recommended one. I'd be interested to know if he's trying it on. A bit of background; we have an chalet bungalow, with three different heating networks. One single flow to downstairs, one double flow to upstairs, and underfloor heating...

hi all we suffer - at times - from condensation in the garage. It's a double, single skin, apex roof, no real insulation at all. Wife insists on parking her car in there (been a bit wet recently), and we live in a wooded valley. So at times we get no air flow at all through the garage for days...

the electrician who fitted it came around last night. He was puzzled. Took a good hour to work it out. Then he worked out that the LNB power from the telly was being dissipated across the wall plate; as a result there wasn't enough charge to get a signal. As soon as you bypassed the plate, it...

i've not wired it incorrectly. please tell me the instructions you've given me i've not followed. i'll explain it again, in words of one syllable. scenario A - works: satellite feed TO wire through house TO telly. scenario B - doesn't work : satellite feed TO wire in wall TO telly scenario C...

that is what i have done! As explained on the last page (and this). it doesn't work. Hence two pages of questions

but how can it work if the cable works down the stairs, but not when the cable is in the wall. I'm not touching any lnb power button on the telly. All i am doing is changing the cable; one works, one doesnt.

I doubt it - at the moment it's not connected to the LNB at all. But the LNB seems to work fine without - as we get a satellite feed direct from the dish to the other TV, without going near the distribution point. And even when I take a feed from the new wire through the house (loose wire...

Output 2 in the loft is the one I need. It works when it's connected to the distribution point - with Freeview. If I disconnect it from the distribution point, and connect it to the satellite dish lead - which I know works - and change the input into the telly, it doesn't work. Obviously the...

yeah, on the repeating thing, points 1-4 don't work. hence the questions. but thanks for your time

info is not ever changing (but thanks for the thought) i've connected a wire from the satellite dish to the loft. As the wire was 30m i could then take it through the house to the telly. it worked. i could then connect it to the distribution point. it didn't work. at the moment (as previously...

thanks the satellite input is some way from the room (as is the normal aerial); hence the need to put it through to the distribution unit. we're in a very long house As far as i'm aware, the cable from the distribution unit to the wall connection is just a cable, with no filters or directional...

so i got the telly. can't get the signal to reach the socket in the wall. if i connect a cable direct from the satellite dish to the telly, it works. If i connect the satellite to the cable that runs to the wall socket, it doesn't work., it can't find a satellite. It does work with freeview...

grand. many thanks for that. I'll try it into lnb2, and if that doesn't work i'll try and work out which is the correct output. many thanks for the replies!

hi thanks for the replies. Should have said (but a beer got in the way!) we already have a freesat TV in another room that takes another feed, so i know the satellite dish etc works well. This was a new install when the rest of the house was rewired a few years ago. At the moment, the old...

evening all confusing one (for me at least). At the moment we have a Labgear LDU604G taking the aerial and splitting it three ways. Just got a FreeSat telly, and unsure where to put the input, and the output to use the satellite on one telly. The instructions are rubbish! Do i put the...
