don't worry i've got it sorted, I think i said everything, there are no motorised valves. As stated there is only one valve which is not electric as all hot water is supplied via an external boiler to the property. There is no boiler in our flat. The make of the thermostatic valve is Drayton...

Hi can anyone help? I live in a flat which has central heating and hot water fed via one main boiler for the block. Lived here 2 years now and the water is always really hot and we could have several showers out of our tank or hat water. For the past month now we can have 1 hot shower and the...

blame the plumber. cables were there 1st... no spark would do that. :wink:

Well it is Devon after all... You do things slightly backwards down that way. :lol:

yes of course there are no problem with radial circuits. But this guy has a boiler on a 16A supply and on about putting in on a 32A mcb. Ok i said 6mm on a 32A, your right in saying 4mm can go on but not commonly used is it. I think this guy got the general idea, no need to start getting so...

Thats great thanks. Am i right in saying in the 17th edition they are scrapping supplementary bonding and replacing with RCD protection to all electrics in bathrooms?? My god, every installation i test will fail...

DON'T REPLACE IT WITH A 32A MCB. YOU COULD OVERLOAD THE CABLE. ONLY 32A ON A 6MM CABLE OR A RING MAIN. NOT A RADIAL CIRCUIT.

Hi all, Just a quick question as i don't have any regs to hand. I have a mains voltage fan in Zone 1 of the bathroom which is obviously a no no. If you were to install the circuit on an RCD is this acceptable.?? Thanks

Wire it on its own ring main in 2.5 T&E on a 32a mcb. This is the best way. Don't wire it on a radial if you have that many sockets as you could over load it.

Anyone know where i can get my key transponder for mk4 golf programmed in london (other than VW) Thanks

Hello, Ok well i have a leaky bath/shower. It was fitted 2 years ago but never sealed very well around the rim of the bath. I have tried to re silicone it twice to stop it but works for a couple of months and then a dark patch starts to appear under the silicone and it starts leaking again. I...

Hello all, I have a pump on my hot water as the pressure is poor. Basically Its been making a howling noise off and on for a while now, but i have now noticed today that its not turning off when you turn the tap off. I have checked all taps and none are on even slightly. I think it must...

Hi, I think i may have bought a cat D car. Can anyone tell me where on the V5 log book where i will be able to tell. Thanks

Whats wrong with my work. Thought i made a nice job of it!! :oops: :oops:

Ok whilst im on here i might as well sort all my diy problems. I changed our cold water tank last summer. It was an old metal one that had completly rusted out. All when to plan no problems. Great, well until we started using the hot water. The hot water is on its own electric pump as there...

Perfect just the job. Can I get it from any plumbers merchants? Thanks

I fitted one for my parents a few years ago. It was only a very small pump and had to install a switch fused spur and fuse it down to 5amp. And as the others said its a good idea to fit an RCD. The best and most simple idea is use an RCD fused spur then its all in one and you won't have to mess...

Hello, I have just changed an immersion heater element. It's an 11 inch one that goes in the bottom of the cylinder. All went to plan until i filled it back up. Its dripping quite a lot. I have used the supplied gasket that comes with the element and i didn't over tighten it (although i...
