    Making a toilet seat

    LOL! :lol: I was assuming that it was part of a really nice suite that you loved - or a an original period loo! :wink: If not, then (as you found out) these days you really can get a whole suite for little more than a decent seat! Very odd! Glad to hear that you got it sorted...

    Making a toilet seat

    Personally, I hate badly fitting loo seats. They look awful. As for MDF, it should be fine. You would probably be sanding edges smooth and painting, so it wouldn't be prone to water damage anyway. Seat damage normally comes because eventually the laquer fails due to seasonal expansion...

    Random Groaning Vibration from Worcester Condensing Combi

    Sorry - that wasn't intended as a criticism of BG...they were nice guys who did their best! :oops: However, the Bosch chappie immediately knew the problem without having to investigate...I guess that he sees a lot of such problems! He did have one in the van and swapped it to test. If it...

    Random Groaning Vibration from Worcester Condensing Combi

    Just thought that I'd update you folks on this one...we got it fixed eventually. I tried checking gas pressure but it was "spot on". It was the circuit board. A fault had developed on the PCB that caused the fan speed control to intemittently change (fast, slow, etc). New cirucuits...

    Random Groaning Vibration from Worcester Condensing Combi

    Thanks Chaps. I was thinking that it was a boiler problem, but I guess it could be gas pressure. We did have a leak a while back and they moved the meter outside while replacing the damaged underground pipes...this was at the same time the fan was changed. Perhaps that changed things...

    Random Groaning Vibration from Worcester Condensing Combi

    Hi, Moved into this house last year with a "Worcester Bosh Greenstar HE Condensing Combi". We've only had one fault that was sorted by BG on a fixed fee basis - the fan inside needed replacing. However, since moving in it has produced a loud intermittent groaning, vibrating, rumbling...

    Installing Telephone Extension

    BT tend to quote a fixed price for any work like this. I once had a BT engineer for 5 hours for an extension in a particularly difficult 4-storey house. This extension sounds much simpler though. Connections from the master socket to a new extension are pretty easy these days - just a...

    Cooker not on RCCD

    Hi crafty1289, I meant that the lights plugged into DIFFERENT mcbs on the (unprotected) right hand side - not the same one, sorry!

    Cooker not on RCCD

    Thank for that. A great relief. I was under the (clearly false) impression that only lighting was unprotected by the RCCD. We've had a few problems with the electrics since moving in. In one instance, I replaced a bulb and two lighting circuits including the switches simply fried...on...

    Cooker not on RCCD

    I just noticed in my new house that the electric cooker circuit and a kitchen heater circuit both run off a 32 amp MCB on the right hand side of the Consumer Unit. This is where the lights are hooked in - all the other mains circuits go from the left hand (RCCD protected) side of the CU. Is...
