Well, it all works now which is the main thing. Red is in B, black is in A.

That much I do know :) But I also have a broken thermostat so needs must.. As for practical advice - should I therefore put the red wire into A and the black wire into B, and that is correct?

Hi, I'm trying to fit this Honeywell T3 thermostat in place of an older Honeywell rotary thermostat that's died. The instruction sheet (photo attached) has a wiring setup for a regular boiler and a wiring setup for a combi boiler. I have a Worcester Green Star which I've been told by several...

Pressure washer and brute force and ignorance did nothing, I guess I'll have to hire someone / something.

Thanks all. I'm going to start with the pressure washer and then onto a hammer/screwdriver. Whatever I can first try without spending money.

The photos below show what I'm dealing with. The drain cover is recently wet around the joints even on a dry day - and you can see water through the keyholes. Coupled with the drain-smell in the en-suite that leads directly to this drain cover area makes me think these things are quite possibly...

This is all quite convenient as the floor is question is going to be taken up in a few weeks for some new heating pipework. I can pack it then.

Not something I'd thought about at all but good point. Something else to Google.

Ah thanks. Good idea. Just need to find where the joists are and I'll be good to go. Sounds like a 2 man job. Or man and wife.

I really need to insulate my bathroom better, as it's over a garage. One obvious area is the garage ceiling, which has a thin bit of polystyrene glued to part of if. Better would be some thick Kingspan sheets, but how to attach them? The ceiling's smooth unpainted plaster, the Kingspan is shiny...

The heating engineer that said "no" looked about late 20s, early 30s. The two neighbours who said "yes" , early 40s, early 50s. So assuming that it *is* plumbed that way.. is there any way to tell aside from the obvious - the towel rails getting hot (which they don't right now as they don't...

Another heating mystery in my house. Currently neither towel rail gets hot even when the rest of the radiators are warm. The likely diagnosis by a heating engineer yesterday are the pipes are blocked, (they are 8mm microbore after all - and once he measured the pressure in them after...

Yes, it probably would. Fortunately the boiler is working again now but that's no reason no to address this. Looking at the other comments above I've done a bit further looking around and noticed a few things. 1) The black knob on the top of the tank which is the immersion's "head" (for want...

Whilst investigating other heating and plumbing related things I've never previously needed to care about, I realize my tank has an immersion heater, on the photo below. It's been turned on at its socket on the left of the image all 7 years I've been here, but during times the boiler hasn't...
