    Bosch SMV53A00GB/20 leaking into base

    Our Bosch dishwasher is about 4-5 years old, and recently cut out with the E15 error/pump running continuously. There was water in the base + float, so I drained it and ran another cycle watching with a torch. A few minutes after starting, I observed a trickle of water running from a vent hole...

    After an extended period of lid-open diagnostics I've managed to lose the big bolt which secures the lid/tamper etc Anyone know if these are a standard size, or whether I can get hold of them from anywhere?

    Texecom - Premier Elite part set / multiple zones

    I have a Premier Elite 48 with 8 zones configured, 1 door sensor, 6 PIRs downstairs, one upstairs. The hall PIR covers the RKP and stairs and is set to Guard Access. I can set up a night mode (upstairs PIR set as Part 1 Omit) and this works fine, the stairs PIR acts as the entry mode in Part...

    Texecom ComWifi - is it really this terrible?

    I'm setting up a Premier Elite 48 with ComWifi and I'm really disappointed at how bad the whole notifications/remote management side of things are. In fairness it's good for setting up the alarm, but I could just use USB. The mobile app is truly dreadful. A mess of failing connections, lag on...

    R8 - multiple zones showing fault

    I'm replacing it soon, but with a Texecom R8, what would cause PIRs 3-8 on the system to all show an alarm/failed state? I don't see any lights on any of the PIRs except for the one on zone 2 (no idea if any have them disabled). The walk test just beeps 8 times, zone lights 3-8 are all lit and...

    PIRs with built-in CCTV

    I've seen that DSC offer a PIR which has a built-in camera - seemed like a good idea! http://cms.dsc.com/download.php?t=1&id=12305 Could the audio+video be wired via the alarm cabling then broken out near the panel? Or could this cause issues with interference? Are there any other...

    R8 system - voice dialer / keypad

    Our house has a Veritas R8 fitted, we've never used it but the previous occupants did. It has a voice dialer hooked up to it but no phone line nearby, guess they never bothered to run the extension! Anyway in the days of apps and mobile notifications a voice dialer seems a bit old hat, are...

    Leaking UFH mixer valve

    On our manifold we have a Polypipe mixer (blending?) valve. At temps below maximum it leaks a small but constant amount of water from the spindle area. The UFH is in screed so shouldn't be at max temp I guess. According to my plumber's stockist the valve is a special order from Polypipe and...

    30W led floodlight trips MCB

    Purchased a 30W PIR LED floodlight from Screwfix this weekend, simple cable swap but it trips the MCB every time it comes on. The lighting circuit is on a B6 breaker. No continuity between any of the wires. The lamp works fine on a different power supply, I haven't tested a higher current MCB...

    Vaillant integrated controls - worth the upgrade?

    Currently have a ecotec 637 and unistor 310 - rads and towel rails on two CH circuits switched by a Honeywell stat and a UFH circuit with three zones and its own pump, manual mixing valve, Polypipe controller. It's all newish but has been wired up using conventional 240v switching so I guess I...

    Am considering fitting the Vaillant weather compensator, the logic behind it makes sense to me but not sure if we have the right setup for it to work properly. Existing system is: 637 Plus system boiler UniStor cylinder Zone 1 - Radiators (upstairs & downstairs) with Honeywell room stat Zone 2...
