Just in case anyone comes across this thread; it turned out to be the pump capacitor in the end. I purchased a replacement motor capacitor from Maplin for £3.50p and we're up & running again (for the time being!). I was a little annoyed with myself as the pump was the last thing I looked at as I...

Does anyone know what this switch looks like? Basically my bro's boiler's does a system check when its switched on and throws up a 'water pressure switch inoperative' fault. According to the manual I should: - check the water pressure is above 0.5 Bar - which it is. - check C/H pump - I'll...

Ahh, ok. Pressure goes to about 1.5 bar when HW demanded and drops back to 1 bar when I stop demand. Sounds all ok then? Cheers for the reply

Stupid question really but, Should the reading on the pressure gauge go up when I call for HW? I thought it only related to the CH system? It's on a Baxi 80e/105e (I can't remember the model number and I'm not at home to look) which was throwing up a CH fault light until I cleared the crud...

Oh what luck! EDF supply and meter, so one call will be all thats required to get the job done :D Will get on the phone and tell them my meter's running slow & i'm adding a high powered shower - hopefully they'll be round PDQ! Thanks Gentlemen!

Ok, cheers. The installation has been re-wired at some point as all wiring i can see is PVC T&E but you're right, i think a thorough investigation is req'd. Now, is it installation first then a meter change or will they (EDF) change the meter first?

The house is a 2 bedroom 20's terraced house with everything fairly original. The previous owner had decided to add some extra lighting in the kitchen and add a few more 2G sockets scattered around the place. Garage power's great too - 'isolated' with a light switch, yee haa! Rest of the house...

Oh nevermind. Will get onto distribution co. and see what they can do but sounds like it could cost a fair bit, just for the luxury of an electric shower. Cheers for the rapid reply thou.

Thinking of installing an electric shower in my bro's house. CU is very old so i will be replacing it with a split load cu but there is one thing i'm unsure about. The 'leccy meter has 40A max written on it - surely this isn't max load for the house? (Thought it would be at least 60A these...
