Just to update this - I emailed roofblinds who I bought it from, and they sent me a complete new kit! Swapped in the new battery and it worked out of the box. Left the old battery attached to the solar cell from the new kit in the window but even after a couple of weeks of sunshine (a distant...

I swapped the non-working battery on to the working window and it’s not working, so I’m deducing: - battery needs longer to charge (now seen 2 full days of hot sun on a south facing roof) (bear in mind the other one worked after 4 hours or so (but batteries have stickers saying they were...

Thanks for the reply - as I was messing around with the first window (checking the cables) it just started working, so I assumed it needed a bit of time to charge. I fitted the other one kit but despite it charging all day today on the sun there is no life from it. I’ve reseated the plugs...

Hi all, Hope this is the correct forum for this! I have some old Velux roof windows (GGL 308 3000 - 20-25 years old) in a slope-roofed extension, and I recently bought a couple of Velux solar powered automation kits (KSX 100 K) for the older style of window. Ordered ast September, delivered...

Does it make much difference as long as it fits? I mean, does the 2" flow more? The reason I picked the one I did was it got good reviews, push button conversion, and 2" ones seemed rather thin on the ground. Also I didn't know mine was 2" until I got the cistern off the wall just now (kindly...

Hi all, I'm replacing a siphon with a split diaphragm and have everything in bits, but not sure what I'm ordering to replace it. The existing siphon has a 2" outlet - I have decided to replace it with a Fluidmaster push button which appears to be 1.5" with an adaptor (I think just a rubber...

Many thanks for the reply - don't worry I won't be doing any more scraping. Will painting over it once dry not seal it?

It does have an extractor fan - I replaced the crap one about 10 years ago with a less crap one but it stopped working a while back so I am looking into this at the moment. It seems it was woefully under specced anyway so I will be replacing it with the beefiest I can get for the 4" duct size...

Hi folks. Tearing my hair out with this. Bathroom ceiling with mould and peeling paint. Cleaned all the mould off and allowed 12 hours or so to dry. Scraped off all the loose paint as far as I could, and started painting with Ronseal Anti-mould paint. Cut in with a brush, but as soon as I...

Next time it locked out left it and called British gas. Same guy came out, replaced PCB and it has been fine since...

Hi folks, It has been OK for the last couple of weeks with the odd slip where we get slow flashing orange lights. Anyway, called BG and an engineer came out yesterday. He scratched his head and said there wasn't a huge amount he could do as it was working. HW and CH firing fine. He...

OK, can I check that manually? When the he is on but the boiler not firing, move the metal lever myself? Thought I tried that earlier but maybe not.

The first zone valve - we have two of them, honeywells. Edit: 2 ports, not the 3 port pictured. Can't remember what the contract is - covers boiler and CH, but not drains etc.

We have a 10 year old or so Suprima 80 which has worked well enough apart from the usual things where it occasionally flashes lights and stops working for an day or so! Always seems to sort itself out though. Anyway, things seem to have come to a head. It seems not to be producing any hot...

I forgot to update this! I contacted Honeywell and they posted me a new unit out FOC, despite it being well outside the warranty. Really excellent customer service.

...or at least I would if their website worked :roll:

Duracells. Just firing off an email to Honeywell now. If I have to I will pay for a replacement controller, but I'm not really up for blowing another £120 on the whole thing...

Having a similar problem with a Honeywell CM927. Bought and installed it just over 2 years ago, and it worked really well until about 6 months ago when the batteries went flat. No bother, replaced the batteries, but they seemed to go flat very quickly too. Had a situation where we came...
