Hi Our boiler, which is a Vokera Mynute 28e and is about 4 years old, has started to leak slightly. I have had the cover off and traced it back to a small valve on top of the pump assembly. It looks like the type of valve on a car tyre and is next to the automatic air vent if that helps...

I run a Mini Cooepr S Conv and it has runflats. Once they wear out I will be switching to normals as they are crap. Friend of mine has already switched and the ride and grip are so much better. I have 17" wheels and due to the stiff side walls they follow every dip in the road (tramlining)...

Hey, how did you know our 2 kids are monkeys! ;-) Thanks for your advice. We have got the leg pack but want to see what it looks like wall mounted as we are having a solid oak floor fitted and want to keep the floor clear of pipes etc. Thanks for the advice.

Hi, it says it can be fitted either way and the legs are an optional extra. If wall mounted it says use appropriate heavy duty wall fixings designed for your type of wall construction. The wall brackets that come with it are very heavy duty but just want a strong and reliable fixing method...

Also forgot to ask if anyone has used this stuff how long does it take to set? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/23386/Fixings/Injection-Fixing/Fischer-Polyester-Styrene-Free-Resin-300ml Cheers

Hi Not sure is this is a heating or buildings question (fits both). We have recently purchased a new radiator which is a modern take on the old school type. It is 1.6m long, 60cm high and 4 columns deep - so pretty heavy even before it's filled with water! It needs to be wall mounted...

When I said not their fitters I mean I have sources my own from local recommendations. Not only are they crap they cost a fortune aswell.

It is an IKEA kitchen but not there fitters. I have read all the horror storys about them. Robert

Fair point. I am going to get another couple of quotes but this guy was recommended by the kitchen company.

I don't think the wire is a problem as the house is only 18 months old. ANyway Iw ill see what he says. Thanks again for all your help. Robert

Thanks again. And he will be ok connecting a 45amp cooker feed with this type of crimp connector? Sorry for all the questions but want to make sure it's done correctly. Robert

Hi Thanks I thought you meant one of these but was not sure they were allowed on mains wires. If the wires are crimped do you still have to leave access to the join? Robert

Hi, thanks for that. I will have a word with the leccy and see what he thinks, otherwise I will ring a different one for a second opinion. Just for my knowledge what do you mean by crimp together? What do you use? Cheers Robert

Hi, before I ring the electrician back does this sound ok? Cheers Robert

We fitted exactly what you have explained at our last house with conservatory straight into dining room , no doors. Also we have 2 rads fitted off the CH system. We moved house 18 months ago and had 3 different surveyors check the house out. Al said how nice it was but none mentioned anything...

I took the leccys word for the wire going upwards but I remebered he did not take the switch out. SO I have just dropped the front off and the wire enters the metal back box from the bottom so I presume the wire in fact comes up from the floor. So does this mean that he could chase out the...

Hi thanks for clarifying that, miss-understood the diagram. So is the only safe method to take the wire out back up to ceiling and then drop the cable down vertically to it's new location? Anything other options before I call the leccy back, or call someone else for a different quote...

Hi, he said nothing about safe zones! Just that he said he wanted to run a new wire all the way back tot he consumer unit in the utility which would require a lot of work as it's in the next room on a different wall! Moving it would not place it in any of the coloured zones and it is an...

Hi, thanks for the response. The switch is located above the worktop and the cable goes up the wall. Does this cause any issues? I assume that he is correct to say that you can not join the cable in the wall where the current switch is and then extend to the new location? But running a...

Hi We have having some work done on the kitchen and part of it is the installation of a glass splash back behind the range cooker. unfortunately the 45amp cooker switch is above the cooker so will have to move about 8" to one side. I have contacted an electrician and he said that he would...
