Hi. I've got a Siemens IQ300 (WT36V394GB/12) tumble dryer. It keeps stopping after a short time with the hose/filter light flashing. I've checked the filter - all clean. I've cleaned out the airways of the machine, removing lots of fluff - now all clear. I've even bought a new hose - all...

Hi folks, Our thermostatic shower valve bangs quite loudly (about 2Hz). I presume it's because it's trying to get the temperature right? Is there any way I can stop this, as it wakes the whole house up if I have a shower at night / first thing in the morning! Merry Christmas!

Hi Folks, I had a new boiler fitted 3.5 weeks ago. The benchmark cert was completed by the installer. I've now had the invoice for the job, but no certificate back yet from Corgi. How long does it usually take to get a certificate? Should I pay the invoice before I receive the...

Hi folks, Is it OK to clip the ring main to exposed beams? The property is a very old farm cottage which has exposed beams. The idea was to clip the wires to the beams and then paint over them. This is how the old wiring was attached. I've been told that all wiring, even exposed...

Help! Over the last couple of weeks, I've had 2 radiators develop pin hole leaks. I've just discovered that the back boiler is now leaking (wet carpet under the fire). The boiler is a glow-worm and is only 4 years old. The heating system uses a header tank in the loft and cylinder in...

Hi there, I need to put a new valve on the header tank of our central heating, as it won't shut off fully. Have just ventured into the loft and noticed that the water in the header tank is hot. Steam is coming out of it, making the rafters above it damp. Looks like it's been this way for...

Our shower has packed up (a Gainsborough 9.5KW), so time for a new one. Just a couple of questions - - Any recommendations on which make to buy? I hear Mira are good? - As it's a straight swap, I don't really want to go ripping tiles off the wall to alter plumbing. Both the cable and...

Hi there, I've decided to replace my Honeywell T6160B room stat with a new Drayton Digistat +3 (battery powered one). Problem is, I can't figure the wiring out...... It's connected to a Potterton EP3000 programmer, which I do not have the instruction book for. Any ideas how to...

I'm looking into getting a new boiler fitted, as the current one is on its last legs (an old back boiler). I've got a standard 3 bed 1930's semi, solid 9" walls, loft insulation and double glazing (an online calculator says I need 22kW output). I'm thinking about getting a Greenstar 27CDi...

Hi, Kust been looking at some of the sockets in my living room and have noticed that the CPC's from the ring go to the back box and then a fly lead comes from the back box to the socket. Is this acceptable? I thought it should be the other way round?? Thanks

Anyone know where I can get some good quality TV aerial cable? I have put an extension lead under the floor, with some branches off for 4 connection points along the route. Problem is now, even with a booster, the picture keeps breaking up. It was fine before I cut the lead up and put...

I've just installed a couple of PIR lights on the front of my house. Problem is, even with the sensitivity turned right down, they still come on when a car goes past. The lights are about 8m from the road. Is there anything I can do to reduce the sensitivity even more - ie, stick...

We've got a glow-worm BBU45/4 back boiler, which is about 4 years old. It's just been serviced. It appears to have developed a fault, with both hot water or central heating. The bioler fires up, runs for a minute or so, then cuts out. Comes back on about 15 mins later and does the same...

I've recently purchased some pendants that only take energy saving bulbs. The lable says they need 10, 13 or 18w 4pin G24q1 and q2 bulbs. Are these the same as PLC and PLT 4 pin bulbs? What is the difference between PLC and PLT? Is it simply the the PLT have more tubes? Thanks
