Hi, Just a feedback. I changed the dampers below the drum, which were leaking slightly and the drum bearings which had water ingress and the inner one was already pretty destroyed.

Thank you for the replies. Turning the drum by hand is easy without any metallic or crunching noise. It certainly does not sound or feel like a bearing problem. When the machine spins it is more like a roaring noise. I took a short video when we first noticed it becoming noisy. This is a link to...

What is this discussion on OEM parts being a problem for the insurance? OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer. The car maker specifies and several companies make the parts accordingly. Many car makers do not make their own parts anymore but only assmble parts to make a car. These companies then...

Hello, We have a Samsung WW90J5456FC/EU W/M which is now about 4.5 years old. We used to have it running over night in a utility room a few metres away and only separated by a door from our bedroom. Recently the final spin seems to have got so noisy that it regularly wakes us up and we cannot...

You can also look at the comparisons on youtube. As long as you do not go for chinese tyres and stick with mid to premium most tyres will be fine. The differences in the "performance" are coming from the tyre's background. Some AS tyres have been developed from a summer tyre - CrossClimate -...

The sequence to omit when we set the alarm works, but I wanted to open up the technicians code side with 0 - enter -7890. Then use 10 - enter the zone to delete - enter..... but I cannot enter that for some reason.

Hi, I will replace the detector. I just wanted to omit the zone in the mean time.... but could not. I followed the written instructions, but could not get into the techician menu to omit the zone.

We have a Scantronic 9448+ main panel and a 9427 secondary panel. One of the PIRs is faulty and this stops the alarm to set, i.e. every time you set it it just sounds. I wanted to go into the program mode and take the one zone out until I have replaced the PIR. I looked through the documentation...

I want to wire an immersion heater back in. I have a couple of spare breakers left in the CU- 2x 32A and 1x 40A. I was hoping for a 20A one. Can I use a 32A or do I need to go for a 20A?

Hi, There is a pressure gauge showing a pressue of about 2bar but when the hot water is on in the house it drops below that. What is important for us is that the flow is good again and not just a dribble.

Just a follow up. We have proper hot water pressure again. A new pressure limiting valve is fitted this week. Adjustable this time, but I am sure that does not matter. As I had the old one in the garage and it is servicable I opened it up. Scaled up and rusty inside. I do not think this is...

I had to get the old receipts out. The cylinder was from Newark Copper Cylinder Co. Ltd. I also read through the instructions - to the installer - supplied from Newark for the first time properly. They say that the installer back then should have used a 22mm feed. Even though it has been fitted...

The cylinder and pressure reducing valve together with the 15mm piping is all old since 2001 and fitted in the upstairs bathroom. We are on the 3. or 4. expansion vessel by now. The current one was fitted in July 2021. The pressure drop is a new thing. The cold flow into the house is o.k. The...

Hi, It is an unvented system with a copper rather than stainless steel cylinder. The expansion vessel usedto be white and is now a blue one.

Your flat sounds like the equivalent to an extension that we did above a double garage. The garage is not insulated, but pretty draught proof and the boiler is running in there. Even with frost outside the temperature is usually no less than 8°C. The extension room above has plenty of rock wool...

Mould is the result of the combination of heating / insulation, ventilation AND airflow and moisture content. We had problems with mould in a flat roof extension with cavity walls to a solid wall house. The extension contained a kitchen and bathroom. When we did the bathroom up first and then...

Happy New Year, I have a problem with the hot water. Our hot water works via a hot water calinder with inputs from a boiler and a solar panel loop. The cylinder is made of copper and the inflow has a pressure reducing valving with a 2.1 bar rating. It has a 18l expansion vessel connected nad...

Be happy that the car is tax exempt. ALL car manufacturers are lying / fudging fuel consumption numbers.Some more than others. When they test the cars, mirrors, seats, spare wheels, sunroofs have been removed, they role on tiny 155 section tyres - as long as that is legal -, rather than your...

Thanks for the replies. It is done. Found the transformer. My wife - very small hands - was in the ceiling again. The first time she could only fell what I saw with the endoscope. Then we pulled on the affected wires and figured which ones ended in the drill holes through the joists and follwed...

In our shower en-suite two of the 12V halogens have stopped working. 3 others still work. The bulbs are fine. We had this bathroom done about 14 years ago. I remember talking to the electrician about the transformers, but not where he fitted them. The bathroom installer put another plasterboard...
