    Viessmann Vitodens 050-W condensing combi boiler

    This boiler was installed in June 2019 and has been brilliant. However, now we are experiencing a fluctuation in the hot water temperature. Is this something that we can fix by doing a reset or do we require an Engineer visit to remedy the issue? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    No power to sockets but no breakers have been tripped!

    All the sockets in two rooms on the ground floor are dead and the same goes for the two rooms immediately above them. The room above the kitchen at the back of the house is ok. The double socket in the hallway situated between the two problem rooms on the ground floor is working fine, as is...

    No power to sockets but no breakers have been tripped!

    We have currently lost all power to sockets on part of the ground and first floor but on checking the boxes, no breakers have been tripped. We did think that as we currently have a bit of a problem with mice and our next door neighbours are doing a basement conversion that a cable may have...

    Radiator Bleed Valves Broken

    Ok, I have finally managed to find a solution that works. I just had to loosen the nut slightly and then it was possible just to push the pin in. This enabled me to successfully bleed all the radiators

    Radiator Bleed Valves Broken

    We have four very old radiators at our offices, of the double rad type that really require bleeding. Unfortunately, seven out of the eight bleed valves have been broken so there is nothing to turn with a key. Any help or advice as to an alternative way of bleeding these rads would be very...

    Old Laptop Upgrade

    I am not certain but I think that it may have been upgraded, in terms of hard disk and memory! I have checked the HP site, downloaded the manual and I cannot find a mention of 'USB 2.0' or 'High Speed USB' anywhere. The PCMCIA card USB 2.0 option is a good one but I was rather hoping to...

    Old Laptop Upgrade

    My daughter has been given an old laptop by a woman that she occasionally babysits for. It is a HP Pavillion ZE4500 series (Actual 4521EA) which is now quite dated but on the plus side it does have 512MB of RAM and a 80GB hard disk, which is more than sufficient for my daughter's needs...

    "SURESTOP" - DOOR JAMMING DEVICE!

    Update: My Pal has since found a few more (6), together with some NSA sales literature and some 200 degree door viewers (apparently, quite revolutionary when they were first released over 15 years ago), when he was attempting to tidy his cellar (a really huge task given the amount of "junk"...

    Hitachi 250GB IDE Hard Disk - Request for advice!

    Hitachi 250GB IDE Hard Disk - Request for advice!

    The BIOS on the first machine, a DELL Optiplex GX520, is the latest available and as I only bought it at the end of last year I would think that everything else should be ok. The BIOS on the much older second machine, a Tiny P4 (American Megatrends Inc. 62710 27/07/2000) seems to be the...

    Hitachi 250GB IDE Hard Disk - Request for advice!

    I have just bought a few bits of hardware from a company that my firm uses that is closing down. One of these is a Hitachi 250GB IDE hard disk. I have completely reformatted it using the Windows XP system tool and it seems ok in that I can see both partitions of the drive using 'My...

    TRANSFERRING OLD VYNAL RECORDS TO CD DISC

    I copied all my vinyl records using an old hi-fi with a turntable that I picked up in a charity shop for £2.00 which I connected to a Pioneer PDR-609 cd copier/player that I bought on Ebay for £120.00. The copies are excellent and after I had finished copying them I gave the hi-fi back to...

    "SURESTOP" - DOOR JAMMING DEVICE!

    No the device I have is not like the "door defender"! When I tried to look it up on the net last week the only reference I could find was on a Dutch site:- http://www.marktplaats.nl/ where it is listed as "NSA sure stop Deurstopper" I also found an old press release at:-...

    "SURESTOP" - DOOR JAMMING DEVICE!

    I am doing so - I fitted it to the door this morning (4 screws) but it would give me more peace of mind if I knew that somebody else had one fitted in the past and any favourable comments. On the other hand if somebody can confirm, by personal experience, that it doesn't work, I would really...

    "SURESTOP" - DOOR JAMMING DEVICE!

    A close neighbour, in the past week, was robbed of her watch and rings, at knifepoint, by a huge guy that forced his way into her hallway when she answered her door, in the early afternoon and it was in the middle of one of the worst hailstorms ever, in London! My family are, naturally, now a...

    Sorry for the delay JJ4091 but I have been out of the Country during the holiday period! I had a look last night and there is an electric cable going into the cooker! The other small oven/grill above and all the hobs are still working fine! As for the warranty - as the damage, or...

    Is that because of security issues or something else?
