Sorry, yes its the cyclinde thats the albion, the boiler itself is a baxi solo. Where is the PCB situated in the boiler? and i take it its a Corgi/Gas safe job to sort it out? Any idea how much one will cost and is this a common problem? Regards

The boiler is an Albion 17669 . The setup consists of a Siemens programmer, Grundfos Alpha pump and Iifa(or something similar) 3 way valve. The valve 'lever' operates correctly when HW and CH are switched on. It doesnt look like there are any microswitches inside to get stuck. Also on the...

I understand some pumps are designed to over-run but this one is still running 6 hours after the CH/HW is switched off-infact it just doesnt turn off however long you leave it. Its not actually my boiler, a friends who's im trying to help trouble shoot. Havent seen it yet so not sure of make...

Hi Am after some advice as to where to start looking for a problem with a central heating system. It is a S plan system with a Grundfos pump and standard 3 way motorised valve. The pump has suddenly started running constantly and the only way to turn it off is to switch off the mains...

BAS no way even one swa gland could be fitted into the lights. As with a lot of these fittings today, not much thought has gone into the installation. I agree with you that some lights on sale today seem barelly 'legal' but the fittings have been purchased already (not by me). Regarding...

Fittings are designed to be installed at or near ground level yes BAS. The cable entry is a 'diaphram' seal inside on overall enclosure. Believe it or not the literature instructs the use of silicon to seal the outer enclosure. Fittings are IP44. No mention of wiring methods in literature but...

Im aware flew isnt suitable for burying but in the situation i have i could probably get round it. The lights are to be mounted on wooden sleepers sunk into the ground. The idea was to fit an underground jb to the base of the sleepers and flex up the sleeper into the fitting. The flex would then...

Got some lights to wire in a garden. Plan is to run an swa underground to each point and then use a flex up to each fitting, as the fittings will only accept flex and not swa. Looking at 8 fittings so at some points an incoming and outgoing swa will be present , as well as the flex. It is...

what about this one? This looks suitable, am i missing something because it seems cheap..... http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Electrical/Fans/100mm+Low+Profile+Extractor+Fan+Timer/d190/sd280/p71737 is the ducting standard? I will be using the existing ducting which is 4 inch. cheers.

forgot to mention its a ceiling fan. How much am i looking at for one of these?

Hi Just after some advice on the following. My extractor fan in the upstairs toilet has burnt out (you can see the motor has burned/charred) (and it smells). The make is a Silavent HLM4t , 20w. This model is no longer available so i am after a replacement. The fan has a live, neutral...

Thanks so far for the advice. The hallway does have twin and earth run on brickwork already and whilst i agree it isnt ideal it is neatly done. The better way would be conduit i agree but its an area where its not likelly to get damaged and the twin and earth has been run into white moulded...

jonopashley wrote Hence why i have said i want to use black flex, or did you miss that bit? :?

nah, sorry secure, havent got a camera or phone one. Its got a round rubber ring in it that gets compressed as a seal- not going to close up on flat cable.

The gland on the light is round and the flat twin and earth wouldnt go in right. I also would prefer the black flex asthetically. They arent back to back no, the run from the switch to fitting would be in view, the location is a hallway/porch though so doesnt matter. Yes to a neutral.

Am fitting an outside light to my house. The supply is going to come from a switch i fit inside the house hallway. Its only a 100w light so it will be put on the light circuit. I have a couple of queries if someone would be so kind. 1, from the switch the cable will be twin and earth fixed...

all the points you make guys are correct and i agree with them. the job was done a few months back now and the contractors have been paid. ive also checked and they didnt issue a certificate to us for the work, im presuming they should have but not 100% sure because of the cable being the link...

hi guys, this isnt a DIY question but wanted to know what others thought as there seems to be some good sparks on here. situation..... company i work for had NICEIC contractors replace a 300mm 4 core swa cable(3phase Neutral, armour as earth). the cable was from a suppliers LV fuse...

thanks for the interest so far guys. the extractors/motors are in a factory roof(non critical/ essential), the starter enclosure is there but the actual contactor/overload relay is missing. all wiring is still there. to be honest i would rather run seperate feeds to each motor with...

Hey guys, this is not really a DIY question but as there's some knowledgeable heads on here was hoping someone could assist. got a motor circuit to select a starter/overload relay for. The circuit consists of 3 (3 phase) motors on a radial circuit fed from a bs88 fuseboard. The...
