Confirming that replacement of cylinder stat did the trick & fixed the fault. Thankful it didn't cost much!

Tests I am making are suggesting its the cylinder stat. I have ordered a new one and will post back with my findings after installing observing safety by turning power off. Thanks for help will report back but I guess if its still broken I will get a CH engineer in

I powered off CH and removed Drayton Actuator from the 3way valve. I then saw the actual valve head arm move when I turn the power on / off (carefully). Admittedly when it was powered on and I moved the HW to "cont" on the honeywell I didn't see it move. Which to mind it should do. I also...

Hi Lately my CH how water has been failing to respond to the honeywell timer schedule. So I have made following tests:- - if I turn the setting to continuous it may come on immediately or after 20mins or so (like today) - Tested that Central heating warms up the rads OK - Tested the drayton...

Hi, Can't seem to locate this product:- ""Knauf Space Blanket" that was on the market at some point https://www.diy.com/departments/knauf-space-blanket-loft-insulation-roll-l-4m-w-1-14m-t-200mm/182138_BQ.prd Can anyone point to a place where I can buy them or similar? thanks Adam

Moved into my house in past year(60s build) and found that the loft is boarded with insulation (blanket insulation under the boards). I have been thinking that I would like to further insulate the loft and don't really need the boarded area at present. One option would be to pull up all the...

I do @JohnD have a multimeter and can use a soldiering iron but would say my knowledge is limited. isolate the power of course first...

Hi, As per the title we have a Hygiene AE6bMS with both oven and grill not working but fan seemingly spins up when the cooker controls (function & thermostat) are operated. This model:- http://argos.scene7.com/is/content/Argos/4894865_R_D001pdf Initially I thought the cooker element had gone...

ah...never knew that it looked so much like an electric shower... Oh well I am learning (blush)

Thanks for various replies folks. Yes my figure of 10litres per min was with the shower set to completely cold (no heat applied) and I get that the limitation is the heating element so the flow would be lower when heat applied. So I am reading here that "it is what it is". The only reason...

Hi, I have just plumbed up a Mira Jump 10.8kW ( 0.7bar - 5bar cold mains) and the sparky came around & setup the RCD circuit. I have turned it on and whilst it functions as a shower and is right temp I am a little underwhelmed with flow esp as I have tee'd off the direct cold mains at earliest...

Thanks Gasguru. So I have set it on speed 2 and all is functioning well. It has also cured something else I had noticed:- the two rads on 1st floor had been getting hot when the HW period started as set on the Honeywell. Downstairs the rads were cold and this despite the CH setting being...

Thanks for your reply it’s a green star Ri

New house so I went to order my kitchen goods before I moved in to find fridge freezer, washing machine fit fine but I have yet to put my electric oven in. The gap should be a standard 600mm fit which it measures a little bit less than by my tap measure. The oven itself is just under 600mm...

Thanks for help here. Last weekend I successfully replaced the showerpump with as new UPS3. One more question the old unit had the switch set to the third position III. and I don't know what setting that translates to on the new pump as per page 10...

thanks Gasguru. Rear casing is in good shape and hadn't realised that you could replace the pumphead. Thats a win/win then if I can get a replacement pumphead that fits as it will be cheaper and less hassle with pipework

Hi, Moved into new house to find that I have no CH or hot water. Under more detailed inspection I find the CH pump is red hot to touch and when I opened it I was unable to turn the spindle. I have researched how to replace it and having done a few plumbing repairs in the past I am going to...

Thanks for your replies. I will have a look at this over the weekend and post back which way I went about it

I have a door that has a roller catch mechanism, I have bought a new mortice knob and I would like to know how to fit it so that know doesn't spin (if that makes sense) Normally the square type bolt would engage in the door latch so that when the knob is turned it opens but in this case the...

Thanks - that exactly what I needed.
