The boiler was taking some time to come on after a call for heat and then a few weeks ago I came home to a really hot house as the heating had been running all day! Boiling radiators and hot water in the tank. The room stat was satisfied so it should not have been running at all (the water is...

Does anyone here know where I can get white 50mm plasitc pushfit pipe and fittings such as t-piece and endstop. I need 45mm inside diameter if possible and it has to be cheap too! (not using for pumbing but an outside project that needs to be waterproof but accessible for further work). It...

Hi all! Had no heating the other morning. Boiler runs fine and I found that the HW was hot. Seems that the ma-1 valve is not moving to the CH position. Putting it manually into CH got the house warm (so boiler/thermostat/wiring OK). The spindle in the pipe moves freely so not a locked up...

HI, I hope someone can help me here. I have a Siemens WM14P360GB washing machine and recently it has started to make a ticking or tapping noise from the lower lefthand side as it goes into slow spin. If I open the door and put my hand inside the drum and push down to the left I can make the...

Hi, After recent events I totally drained the system and F&E tank. I gave the tank a good clean and bleach out, clean the system with X800 and then refilled the system with x100. Now I look and the water in the tank is covered with white 'scum' and greasy to the touch. I think there might be...

Hi all, This house is 15 years old and this week the cloakroom sink has been draining slowly. Then, the cloakroom toilet started to fill up when flushed and drain slowly. I did everything I could to remove a blockage with little success. Next to the toilet is a wooden 'enclosure'...

Hi all, I have a 15 year old Grundfoss Selectric 15-50 130 pump that's just starting to rattle and I think it's on the way out. What would be a good low energy choice to replace it with? I can't go to exoticly priced ones, but up to about £85-£100. The system is open type with...

I woke up last week to the sockets not working in the house, reset the rcd and all was fine......for 2 days. Then it happened again. This time I traced a burning smell to the airing cupboard. It was coming from the 3 port mid position valve (a drayton 670H340-30L0). Inside the valve...
