Thanks - now that I read about the difference it makes sense. The fan has always been working but it just very noisy (we moved in within a month ago). Is it worth to try to take it down and clean properly. Can you do maintenance to quite a fan? We have a similar fan in the utility room and...

I have an extractor fan in the bathroom that was absolutely covered with dust, not cleaned for what I think was 10 years. I dry-wiped it and it has gradually starting making more and more noise, probably slightly too heavy handed during cleaning. It's come to the point where it starting to sound...

Thanks for the replies. I didn't really consider changing the panels since it seems to be working, I think the only thing that would need to be changed is the battery... Having said that, I'm going to take a few quotes and see how much it is. There seem to be quite nice ones that you can...

Thanks, will have a look. tim

Just to get an idea, what would a new panel entail. Is it actually just replacing the two panels and re-wire? Sounds like a lot of work to me but maybe it's not. Any recommendations on panels? I'm mostly after the rough cost-estimate to be honest... Thanks! tim

It looks like the picture below and the small panel matches so I'm getting confident it's the Veritas R8. As you say, they do still sell it but every service engineer I've talked to (3) have proposed to install a new panel... Thanks for the tips, I'll have a look at those sites. tim

Seems very hard to get a quote for maintenance - is this a very old alarm? Should it be replaced? I hope it's not against the forum rules, but if anyone can recommend a service engineer in North London that could service this alarms via pm it would be appreciated. Thanks! tim

Yes, happy to do that. What do I do if I don't have the right code? How would I turn it off?

Thanks for the quick reply. Alarm terminology not being my strong side, I should've stayed clear of trying to guess the name. The battery is completely disconnected from the main alarm box. Like I said, the unset light is green on the panel but you're saying the alarm won't work without the...

Moved into a new house and realised all identical windows are missing keys. Is it possible to identify the make from the picture? Is it hard to exchange, ie do I need a locksmith or can I do it myself? Stupidly enough, we had a locksmith changing the front door lock but with so much...

Recently moved into new house with a veritas alarm but I don't know the exact spec. Some googling suggests it's Veritas 8(?). When we moved in the (tamper?) battery was removed from the main alarm box. I haven't yet tried to connect it. On the panel, the unset light is solid green...
