Yeah I'll cut the top panel then and see if that's ok for the plumber. I can't really figure how much clearance he needs to get at the little ports at the top of the boiler, but if it's more than the depth of the unit I guess it will have to come out. Couldn't get the plumber to talk to the...

Tiny unit on the left, then cooker. Other side the boiler is pretty much right up against the wall. Does that help? Baps.

Thanks footprints. Yeah it's pretty high up. Not entirely sure why it had to go there, but plumber was adamant that's where it had to go. Which I'm still not clear on since there's plenty of space beneath it. Anyway I could probably just cut a larger portion out of the top panel if I'm getting...

Hey folks, Just wondering if anyone could suggest how I might remove/adjust the top of a kitchen unit? The top panel is directly in line with the little test ports for a gas combi boiler. The plumber can't get the probes into the test ports to test the gases, so will have to do something with...

Hey folks, Hopefully an easy one. Just wondering if anyone could point me to the type of cable I should get to replace the cable on a Bosch hedge trimmer? Is pretty flexible stuff and given 5 amp fuse, I take it it's not heavy duty. Could anyone recommend the right type? Thanks, Baps.

Hi folks, Just wondering if I could get a little advice before going down the wrong rabbithole. We have an Aqualisa Digital Visage shower, about 2.5 years old. Just in case it matters, it had a faulty power board/supply replaced about a year ago as it was not turning on on a warm day...

Thanks guys, ordered a sample pack, I'll probably be back with stupid questions but appreciate the input! Baps.

Found an end; pic attached. What it looks like is the seal is fine at the top and bottom, just the sides where the window is bowed it is no longer long enough to touch the frame. So I wouldn't imagine replacing the seal with an identical one would help? Baps

Thanks Gazman16. Do you mean try pulling it out of the window or the seal on the vertical part of the main window frame? I'm assuming it doesn't matter if they're both the same type, but I'm as much wondering which I'm replacing, or am I replacing both? Edit: does this help? End must be at the...

Thanks Jadele. Is this a replacement for the seal around the window that opens? How would I tell which type fits? Baps.

Hi there, Wondering if anyone would know what we can do about our front window? They're standard looking pvc windows with one panel that opens out on the right. There's a gap between that window that opens and the vertical bar at the end of the main pane. It's actually hard to see in the...

Ok, thanks John!

Would you suggest leave it then or do you think it may be unsafe? Baps.

No other suggestions as to why this is could be happening or if it is likely to be unsafe? Would prefer not to pay for a callout to have a spark tell me there's nothing wrong/nothing they can do if I don't have to, so any thoughts appreciated. Baps.

Old cooker had those wires in a curly circle for the hob. New one has solid plates. Unfortunately, it's never happened when I'm using it, just the other half who says it's when she switches off a ring. I guess it's possible that's not what she's doing with it trips though (she panics a bit when...

Hi folks, We've had some sporadic tripping of the RCD recently. Probably needs a little background in case that helps. About a year ago, RCD trips and wont reset. Disconnect appliances one at a time until RCD resets; offending appliance seems to be old cooker. Remove the cooker, everything...

Well to be fair to the other guys, the last plumber in did that pipework and new cylinder, so I guess it could have been different before that. Might have to go find another plumber then. Here goes the search again! Baps.

So is this a pretty obvious thing or why would it not have been easy to fix? I'm assuming replumbing the whole thing is not needed? Baps.

Paid for all of it and got nowhere. Quite annoying as you can imagine, which is why I gave up after the last attempt. Can't really take a pic of how it's plumbed, and that's what this plumber is suggesting is the problem. Have attached a pic of the connection to the cylinder. Can see the new...

Hi folks, Have had a problem with a power shower for some time. When we start the shower, it will occasionally start to whine in increasing volume and pitch until the flow stops. If we turn the temperature dial all the way to cold, the shower pump (I'm assuming) returns to its normal sound...
