My Puma 100e is fine on the CH but the DHW flow has reduced over a couple of weeks to a much lower flow rate. It was always a restricted flow for the first 30 secs or so as the water warmed up but now it doesn't increase. Am I right in suspecting the DHW Thermostat/Flow Limiter Assembly has a...

I've recently had a problem with water pressure dropping on this boiler and water flow from the hot tap seemed lower than usual. However this afternoon when I went to turn the heating on again the RCCB in the house circuit breaker had tripped out. Every time I switch the boiler on at the wall...

I have an old aluminium double glazed window that I want to fit to my garage to replace an old rusty crittall window. The window seems to be secured to the surround by alloy clip things that you place in the slot round the edge of the frame and swivel until they lock into place then you screw...

Hi My back door has a double glazed glass top half and a solid panel bottom half with a leaky cat flap in it which I don't need. Where can I obtain a replacement panel to fit to eliminate the draughts in my kitchen? Or maybe I could use some upvc material to cover the cat flap hole? Thanks...

Wondering if its a good idea to line my garage floor with plywood sheets? At the moment it has a very dusty and crumbly surface. Presumably it need to be screwed down. What thickness would be the best bet? Thanks.

Was showering today with my Energy 2000x electric shower set on Medium setting when it went dead and water stopped. The fuse had tripped out. Reset fuse and shower working again but is now cold on Low and Medium settings - but hot on High setting. Am I right in thinking the heat exchanger has...

Just wondered if it's possible to loosen screws holding toilet to floorboards just enough to slide vinyl flooring underneath rather than try to cut round toilet? Thanks.

My 1998 106 1360cc multi point injection is suffering from an uneven tickover and a slight miss at low speeds. Have replaced Lambda, spark plugs and HT leads but still no difference. Yesterday I had a look at the plugs and noticed the one nearest to the timing belt was black and sooty while...

Need a new fan for my 100e and have been offered one for a 80e which has different part number so I guess it is different in some way and unsuitable? Anyone confirm this? Thanks

Had heating on and noticed rads getting cool. Went to garage and noticed strange burning type smell. Tried HW and not working either. Checked Modulation PCB (as I replaced it a year ago) but looks fine - no sign of burning (as do the other 2 boards). When a tap is turned on or CH the boiler...

Hi. My mum has a Mira electric shower and I replaced the pull switch about a year ago as it stopped working and there seemed to be some charring inside and the plastic had cracked. Now the new one has broken and when I look inside the live wire has melted its plastic and is black and charred...

I've been offered a new Amway E84 water purifier kit for £30. Does anyone know if it's worth the money and if filters are still avilable? Thanks

Can I use cement to lay slate tiles on a hearth or do I need to use proper tile adhesive? Thanks

No central heating. Hot water ok. Took off Modulation circuit board and found blackened area around one of the pins on PL1. Like to try a soldered repair but wondered if anyone can recommend best method to clean this area (wire wool?) and do you need to remove the green film that seems to...

Need to replace an old room thermostat and want one which includes a timer so don't have to go into garage to boiler to set timing. Screwfix sell the Danfoss TP5 for £36.50 or the Horstmann Digital Programmable Room Thermostat for £22.49 which seems to do the same job. Why the price difference...

Does anyone know if I can obtain user instructions for this programmer on the internet or elsewhere? Thanks

My mums got an old Apollo gas boiler which does the central heating ok but has never worked for hot water. She has used the immersion heater instead for hot water. She decided to get a plumber out to get the hot water to work and he said the pump was sticking. He apparently got it going but by...

I've got a double glazed back door with glass in the top and solid bottom half with a cat flap in it. The cat flap lets in cold air and i've taped plastic over it to prevent this. Is there any way of replacing the bottom panel with a new one (without the cat flap) or with another glass panel -...

My Puma Combi boiler in the garage has a mechanical timer on the front with push in segments which is awkward to use. Can the Honeywell rotary thermostat in the hall be replaced with a digital one combined with a timer unit like in my previous house? Is this a simple job or...

Hi I need to remove my gas cooker to fit new flooring but instead of a bayonet fitting on the flexible tube it has screw on fittings both ends. Can I just turn off the gas, undo the fitting and the re-connect it when the job's done or do I need to put some 'gunge' on the threads to ensure a gas...
