Thanks for the messages. I took the bath panel off as recommended and removed the vinyl completely. Underneath the bath was fine, there's a baton there that the panel was screwed to, so that looks to have stopped any water getting under there (and there isn't any "leak" by the looks of it, just...

Evening all, Over the last few weeks we've noticed a patch in our bathroom, right next to the bath, getting a decidedly pink/purple colour. Presumed (incorrectly) it was some kind of hair-dye or bleach incident and thought not much more of it. Having checked the sealant between the bath panel...

Hi guys, Thanks for all of the replies - very interesting. Sounds like a good plan after all Think I'm struggling to make this work in times of cost/efficiency, as I can't seem to buy the ducting anywhere at less than 50m length, and the run I need is about 4 metres! Cheers

Thanks guys - while I'm there I think it might be prudent to upgrade the cable to 10mm SWA in case of future upgrade - will 50/75mm conduit still be wide enough to take it / feed through a replacement in future?

Hi all, We're currently having our garden dug up / re-flagged and I'm taking this opporunity to bury, under the new flags, the 4mm core SWA that goes from the isolator to our hot tub. Mrs has suggested I "put it in a pipe in case it breaks at some point and we need to replace it, I'm not...

Wow. I've never heard of this before. I just put a few towels in with the rest of the wet load, and it has spun them out! *Hopefully* you're right and that has sorted it! I'll cancel the order for the new machine :LOL: Thanks so much - and thanks everyone for your replies

Whoops! Well I'm sure they'd do a better job than I'm managing to do! Thanks for the tip, will try and get the thread moved

Hi all, We've had a Beko washing machine for just over 3 years and it's worked fine, last few days though a couple of times the clothes have been dripping wet at the end of the cycle. When this happened the other day I put it on "Spin and drain" and it spun the clothes dry no problem. Assumed...

OK @CostaD this is how I set mine up in my version of layman's terms Your HeatLink sits in the cylinder room, it has Live and Neutral feeds. When your Nest thermostat sends it a signal it sends live through to your cylinder to either the call for heat or hot water terminals You need a Nest...

Hi mate It's actually a Taylor Wimpey place but assume they're all using the same kit It was pretty simple in the end. Pick yourself up some 0.75mm cable and some wire cutters/strippers I'll have another look at it tonight and try and give you a hand with it Cheers Jim

The socket I've put it on is on a separate RCD to the fridge freezer so no concern there, but you're right I've wasted a fiver on the plug in RCD, didn't think that through! Cheers

It's a new build and all RCD'd, but thought an extra one for the outside wouldn't hurt?! :-)

Hi guys Thanks for all of the posts, only just got round to doing this on my lunch break today. Ended up drilling a hole and running through one of those pre wired outside boxes as posted above (with RCD). Put sealant around the hole, mounted it, works a treat! Point on tripping the freezer...

Hi all I've recently moved house and need to setup my robot lawnmower before the summer has been and gone! I've got a socket in the kitchen that I'm sure we can run an outside socket from, but I could also just drill a hole under the socket to outside, put the cable through the wall, and plug...

Probably should have bought 0.75mm cable as the 1mm was a bit tight in the tiny terminals on the Nest, but nevertheless got it all installed and working. Thanks for all of your help and advice, not only in how to get it going but also helping me understand how the existing heating system works...

Now I'm a bit better armed with the info (thanks!) the instructions look quite clear, think I will give this a go myself Looks like I just need to hook up Live and Neutral, Call for Heat (HW) where the programmer wire currently goes, Call for Heat (CH) where the zone 1 stat N/O currently goes...

OK so think I've got to the bottom of this now - I will need to remove the existing stats and patch up the holes, and have my Nests powered up by USB separately on a stand somewhere One thing I can't understand about the existing system that I'm curious about is: at a basic level, the...

I'm really sorry, I made a mistake in my first post. The thermostats are actually ESRTD3 not ESRTD2, seems they are mains supplied http://www.esicontrols.co.uk/esrtd3.html

Crossed wires I think - there are no batteries in the thermostats themselves (the battery sockets are there but empty), they are wired to Live, Neutral, and N/O so I assume the N/O goes to the board and the Live and Neutral are coming from the mains supply separately, they've just elected not to...

Hi all I'll try and keep your frustration to a minimum by starting out with: - I'm not trying to cheap out on getting someone in to install my new Nest HeatLink and Thermostat by doing it myself - I would however love to try and do it myself - I'm mainly just naturally inquisitive, so even if I...
