Hi All, We have a water pipe in the garden which we can't dig in at some spots, so I used a heating / warming cable. It was 'ready made', with cable, thermostat, and plug all fully functional. Now the cable doesn't get warm anymore. I guess it can either be the thermostat or the cable is...

Dear All, there seem to be some threads on this, but all quite old. We need a new boiler (combi boiler) and today an engineer was here to give us a quote. Boiler is in the kitchen, and in front of the kitchen is a conservatory. Because the flue situation is a bit complicated, the engineer...

Dear All, Our good old Isar HE 24 combi boiler shows the LF error. Reset doesn't help, flame seems to not go on and it shows L/F flashing again. We used to have this occasionally in the past, but resetting always helped (sometimes multiple attempts were needed, but worked quite quickly again)...

Apologies for talking to myself, but maybe it's useful for someone else at some point (and input would still be helpful!) I have now removed the pipe bit which is leaking. The O-ring looks fine, but for some reason they used silicone or something as well??? See picture

Right now my main problem is that I can't loosen the hard-to-reach pump clips holding the pipes etc in place with the black plastic bit.

Hi All, I finally found the time to take it apart (doing it right now), but I'm not sure whether I'll manage. I removed the pump cover (I hope it stays sealed later on, the rubber seal seems dirty and brittle), but I'm not sure I'll manage. Red arrow shows where it is dripping, it's where the...

How do I know the size of the washer? Do I have to take it apart first?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, this is a really bad picture. I thought I took a movie, but for some reason it didn't save it. It was very hard to get into that corner and have the camera focus right. In the background, you can see how the right pipe comes up and bends (should be the right no 60...

Dear All, we have an Ideal Isar HE24 boiler, which usually still works perfectly well, so that we don't see a reason to replace it now. Recently, it started dripping. It's hard to see where it exactly comes from, but (after some moderate disassembly) it looks like a pipe connection. I'll try my...

We would like to re-do our bathroom floor with Vinyl. It's a mid 1950s house, bathroom in the first floor. The original floorboards are old, a bit uneven, some smaller gaps, so we'd like to put in a thin underfloor first, and only then the Vinyl on top. Theoretically, we plan of course that the...

Yes, they are mostly used for child safety, so that you can't stick something into the hole...

you haven't seen my intense cooking frenzies :LOL::eek: No, seriously, even then nothing should happen? I think in Germany the sockets have to have some kind of splash protection (either a flap over the socket or kind of rubbery cover for the holes where the pins from the plug go through. I...

double post deleted...

Thanks for the interesting discussion (although I feel lost at some parts :mrgreen: ) So, in theory, making a spur with more than one double socket and fusing it with a 26A (or 20A) MCB would be legal? (and if so, the only way to do it?) BTW, nice picture of the German plug, looks familiar...

Thanks! May I ask why this is the case? Just trying to understand... My understanding: 1. I can make an unfused spur off a ring circuit with a single double-socket. Each socket is fused with 13A, so that the double-socket could draw up to 26A, correct? 2. But if I want to make a spur off a...

Ok, thanks. Just googled it, there are no 26/27A FCUs, right? Only option would be to use a 26 MCB, as I've seen here in another thread in the forum? (reading right now, came across it a minute ago)

Thanks for the reply. It was more out of curiosity, to understand the reasoning. If I understood you correctly, 13A are mostly used simply because that's what you can buy? And from an electrical point of view, it would be reasonable to use a 26A fuse?

Hi Everyone! I watched a couple of YouTube tutorials on fused spurs and noticed that they always say that you can only add one socket, because each socket is fused with 13 Amps (x2) and the standard 2.5mm cable takes max of 26 Amps - which nicely fits. If you want to make a spur with 2 or more...

We have a quite old Miele Dishwasher, IIRC it was from 2004 or so (we bought it used 5 years ago). Today, it started to show an "Inlet/Outet" Error (there's a dedicated LED for this). However: The washing cycle consists of a pre-wash (without the tab) and then the water is pumped off, fresh...
