The difference between a migrant and a colonist is that a Migrant is someone who moves into a country and accepts to live by society’s rules. A Colonist is someone who moves to a new country and changes society and rules to fit himself. When Nelson Mandela and Ghandi kicked colonisers out of...
I'm happy to report it took 15 minutes to replace the switch and the boiler is working again. I will of course monitor it, and tighten the wire clamps up again at intervals. I must compliment JohnD on his fastidiousness.
I've bought one of these MK Cooker Switch from Toolstation and turns out it's exactly the same as the burnt one. I've bought some wire wool as well to clean the wires. I'll avoid using the immersion heater setting in future, I never use it much anyway just the heatpump compressor...
This is the second time this has happened in 10 years, I believe caused by me using the immersion heater today. Can you identify the switch for me so I can buy a new one. My best guess is a 45w cooker switch:

I got the gas fire out of the garage ready for winter and the flames seem to be reaching higher than I remember, beyond the fireproof material and into the metal surround. Is this normal, and would a new gas bottle remedy it as it is almost empty? Is it a fire and carbon monoxide threat?

Bed bugs are an advanced pest control problem. Anyone can get rid of mice, but many pest controllers haven't got a clue when it comes to bed bugs. It's extremely difficult to get bed bugs out of a sofa and usually the best option is to throw it out, which is very expensive.
I had bed bugs for...
When I go into Toolstation, Screwfix or Machine Mart the first thing I am asked is "Postcode?" I think it's intrusive. Why the hell should I have to give any shop my name, address, phone number and email just to buy something from there? When the inevitable happens and their website is hacked...
I'm putting new flooring down in the bathroom but an old pipe for an old radiator is sticking up out of the floor. One side has been removed by unscrewing it, but the other has been left in situe, probably because the threads were rusty. Can I saw this off?
My BT drop cable has a grey sheath and 8 wires, BLUE, BROWN, ORANGE, GREEN and 4 WHITE wires. Which wires which go to A/B on an NT5 Master socket?
As 4 of the wires are white, can I identify them using a multimeter?
I have a Danfoss DHP-AQ MAXI, when I switch off the boiler on the control panel, the Grundfos Circulation pump keeps running. It has it's own power switch so I can switch it off there, but can I get a replacement overrun thermostat and fit it myself for the Danfoss if that is the problem?
I have a Danfoss Air source boiler. It has two small expansion vessels, one white one red. I believe its a 3 bar system, but the red tank is currently on .5 bar and the white tank has become very heavy as if it is full of water.
This happened before when it was a council flat and they sent...
