Hi there just thought I'd give you an update, I found out what was causing the oven to trip the power intermittently, removing the metal cover behind the oven there was a scorch mark on the metal cover and a charred uninsulated spade connector which connects to the fan heating element. I...

Thanks I will see about getting that done, am I correct in thinking this oven could never overload the 2.5mm flex unless somehow the fan motor were to stall/seize? I'd imagine the 32 amp would protect the 2.5mm flex in the event of a short circuit? Thanks

Hi, I suspect the answer is no but is it worth getting the fcu replaced for another outlet plate and upgrading the flex to the oven to 2.5mm if it isn't already? At least then I would'nt have to keep pulling out the oven to replace the fuse whenever it decides to trip the power again. The mcb...

Hi, all of them fuse, mcb and rcd all operate whenever this happens which plunges the entire flat into darkness. Thanks

Hi, the oven never trips anything when it is turned off, it just trips the power randomly (both rcd and mcb as well as blowing the fuse behind the oven) this can happen sometimes months apart to sometimes just a few days apart it's just random really. I'll check the flex and inspect the heating...

Bump, I have no idea how old the oven is but it was here when I moved in (5 years ago) the flat is rented and the landlord has sent an electrician round to inspect the oven but he couldn't work out what was wrong it? The oven is currently working but no doubt it will trip the power again some...

HI, I have an ignis akl906wh 2.6Kw oven and Occasionally it trips the both the rcd and 32 amp mcb (which plunges the entire flat into darkness) as well as blowing the 13 amp fcu located behind the oven (which is a pita as it means i have to pull out the oven to replace the fuse. The issue is...

Hi again, I have tested the hot water and heating combined with all trvs set to max, I have not altered any locksheilds because as I've said it's all working perfectly at least in heating only but surprise surprise when hot water is running the problematic radiator including the big radiator in...

Hi just an update, as it's a day off I have set the system the way denso13 suggested and that has fixed the problem the problematic radiator now heats up fully the only rad that struggled a bit on 1/4 turn was the lounge rad (biggest rad) which is 1600x450 double panel I increased this to 1/2 a...

Thanks will give that a go

Thanks, I will do as you suggest, few things I appreciate it's a how long is a piece of string question but on my system there are 10 radiators 5 upstairs 5 downstairs, as a rough guide how would each locksheild be set for my system? So say the closest rad is 1/4 turn and the problem radiator...

Hi, yes with all the other rads off it heats up fully no problem.

Hi, I am having trouble with one particular radiator downstairs not getting as hot as the others, surprise surprise it's a new radiator in the new garage conversion (double panel radiator), I have checked the usual stuff and the trv is definitely not stuck and the locksheild is fully open, I...

Perfect

Hi, very basic and probably stupid question but on a lighting circuit with a b6 6 amp circuit breaker, if the loop is in the switch is it okay to join the neutrals with just a 5 amp terminal block? Or should the connector block be 6amp or higher? I know in real life the load on a lighting...

Hi, Update tuner 0 uncorrected error has gone up to 1400 and it wont stop climbing, rs corrected remains at 0 the snr remains the same, the signal strength is fluctuating between 99 and 100%. The other tuners are pretty stable. Thanks

Hi, i have virgin media with a v6 box and have noticed a lot of rs uncorrected errors. Here is what I have Tuner 0 Signal strength 100% Snr 39-40db Rs uncorrected 990 Rs corrected 0 Tuner 1 Signal strength 100% Snr 40-41db Rs uncorrected 50 Rs corrected 0 Tuner 2 Signal strength 100% Snr 40db Rs...

Thanks i will leave it be in that case i wouldn't want to inadvertently cause problems for others, i take it the kind of problems i could potentially cause are broadband speed reduction or a noisy phone line? Thanks

Hi all apologies if this is a stupid question but why is it illegal to touch/move a master bt phone socket? is it purely because it doesn't belong to you, or is it like with telewest/virgin media that any diy modifications you make can cause problems on the network affecting other people? Just...

Sorry for late reply, so the goal when setting up an aerial system is to obviously use good quality double screen coax, the correct aerial for the correct transmitter, get the signal strength for all frequencies between 55 and 65db and then prioritize the signal quality? Does that sound correct...
