It will scrape off with a fingernail. I won't have the opportunity to leave it for a long time to dry so I'll probably go for danish oil.

Hi, I have a hardwood bannister that has been painted with a varnish that has gone kinda sticky. I suspect it is one of these ronseal exterior products. I'm going to sand it all off but what would be the best product to use to revarnish with. Thanks

I've just spent the day removing old tiles from my bathroom. One wall was lath & plaster and the others were plasterboard. I managed to save the lath & plaster wall because someone had tiled over woodchip so the woodchip came off with the tiles and saved the lath & plaster. The same cannot be...

I have an SMS50T22GB/09 dishwasher that has stopped drying at the end of the cycle. It also wasn't heating the water during the wash cycle but I replaced the heat pump and now the water heats during the cycle but just not for the drying part. Any ideas?

That's interesting

I'd already watched a couple of videos on Youtube about balancing the radiators and had already done this. If that's where JohnD was going, he didn't say so.

Exactly. This is what I was surmising in the original question but thought I would need to change the pump rather than finding a different operating mode.

No, I was asked to close 3 (post #4) but I knew that the 4 x TRVs on the 1st floor were closed already.

I did do it as the rads on the 1st floor had closed TRVs but the 2nd floor rads remained cold until I set the pump to run continuously.

All of the other rads on the system perform well. It was just the highest rads on the 2nd floor which I had an issue with. It seems that a continuously running pump has solved the problem.

The TRVs on the 1st floor are set to '1' and have closed due to the room being at the required temperature. Per post #5, the troublesome rads on the 2nd floor are now performing better. Going to CC3 made 2 of the rads hot all the way down and seems to be the solution. The other cold rad is...

There are 4 rads on the 1st floor that have the trvs turned right down and the rads are cold.

The PDF for the pump is here. I had a quick read of it before posting and I could see that whilst the pump was set to the highest setting (yellow), the indicator was flashing meaning the flow was being regulated. I set the pump to unregulated (indicator on permenantly) and 2 of the rads are now...

H Thanks for the reply. Please see the attached photo. There are 16 rads and it's a sealed system which also heats the hot water.

We've got an old Georgian house that has a system operating rads on 4 floors. The LG is 2.6m from the GF where the boiler and pump is located. There are 2 more floors staggered over 4m (see attached). We've not been there long but we've noticed that the 3 rads on the 2nd floor only get hot at...

We're using Dulux Satinwood paint for metal and wood. It's the water based one and not the solvent based variety. It seems to react with the paint beneath it especially on factory primed MDF. I think we're going to change what paint we're using so I'm looking for recommendations. We used to use...

Hi, I've recently moved into a place that has what looks to me like a kind of door kit that includes lining, architrave, hinges, locks and of course the door. I need to replace one but don't know what to look for. Does anyone recognise it and can point me in the right direction?

I guess I could as it's bound to be some kind of transistor driving the relay. Trouble is, we had to do the dishes handraulicly this evening so i'm not sure that the other half will wait any length of time. I might just have another quick look at the PCB to see if I can see a transistor though...

I just found the correct part on the Bosch website https://www.bosch-home.co.uk/store/12015029 but it costs too much to make an economical repair. I might have risked it for 50 quid but not for £111. The dishwasher is 4 or 5 years old so I guess it's time for a new one.

Yeah I googled EPG70002 too but I am unsure as to what the 9001 140 272 code means as other EPG70002 units have different codes. I'm worried that its the same board with different firmware.
