Hi there We have a Worcester 281 RSF boiler, in a three bed semi in a hard water area. Lately we have found that the hot water will suddenly go cold. We have noticed this in the shower, bath and kitchen. The water will be nice and hot, suddenly drop to ice cold and then eventually go back...

Hi all We bought an Airflow Icon 30 SELV extractor fan off Ebay which arrived without the transformer in the box. We phoned Airflow and were told a replacement transformer will cost £40 which is what we paid for the fan. Is there any reason why we can't use one of the transformers for sale at...
