Thanks again JJ, The whole idea of this kit, is no frost. I can no longer get down to defrost them. You are right though. Because I thought it would simply be a loose screw, I struggled to empty it and get the panel off,,,,, Alas, it wasn't to be. As you say, there is a build up of ice behind...

Yes JJ, I now know that behind that panel is the fan and a polystyrene 'box', separating the panel from some pipes (I guess to insulate any rattles). I was hoping that it wasn't something 'blown' and pushed the panel off. I now think the screw just came loose, so I should be able to fix it -...

Hi guys, I've just noticed that the rear internal plastic panel has come loose on one side. This inhibits the correct placement of a couple of drawers, which in turn, push into the internal plastic panel of the door. At first glance, it looks like the retaining screw has come adrift. My problem...

Ah - many thanks. Yes I've seen the plastic ball valve, but didn't know about the adverse actions. In this case, I still get a good pressure through the hose (& I've never had it on full bore, either hot or cold). I think they may be wrong. Thanks for your input.

Me again, I just heard from Gainsborough. They say: "It sounds like you have activated the PRD pressure relief device". Does anyone on here know about these things ? If I can 'activate' it by doing nothing, I ought be able to 'de activate' it by doing something ! B

cheers guys for taking the time to advise. All the best to you all. Baz

Sorry for the delay guys. I'm now disabled and struggle to jump on things as fast as I used to. EFL: An image of the pipe fitting - and the washer inside. Terry: I had a shower yesterday, and whipped the cover off as soon as I'd finished. I can now see some water, between the black bit, and...

Thanks Guys, Terry: I've just found out my phone dosn't 'share' images since the update to android12 ! I'm off for physio soon, so will try again later. EFL: It's a nylon 'sheath' effect, for hand tightening. Pliers would rip into it also. thanks

Hi guys, My shower has been dripping for a while, but I put it down to condensation at the beginning. Then I thought the shower pipe wasn't fitted tight enough, so I managed to tighten that a bit by hand. It seemed a little better, but not stopped. I decided to have a look inside (Electric OFF...

Thanks to you all guys, I'm sure that many other readers have learned something here as well. Thank you for the valuable knowledge and time taken to write it all down. all the best to you all.

We all prefer safety, but I'm asking about legalities.

Hi guys, My Landlord has just had my (his) property tested. The electrician said that all the sockets, all the stitches etc have to be checked, and took several days to carry it out ! I have just witnessed a similar property getting tested, which they didn't check all sockets, switches etc, so...

Many thanks guys - food for thought.

Thanks RG, I only used to put washing up liquid and a cup with bits'n'bobs in. It won't get a lot of actual use, unless the odd avocado seed jar !? I do like Ronseal as a normal varnish, but thought there would be something nicer as it's Oak. If not Ron Seal it will be. cheers

Hi guys, I have put a couple of pieces of Oak trim (inc window sill) in my domestic kitchen, and need to seal it. I see many things on the market, but unsure what to use in this environment. Obviously, it needs to be dry after application, so I'm worried about 'oils' that might stay sticky...

Thanks guys, Dougal: cooo,,, I wish I could read !! Thanks mate. JohnD: Some good reading there thanks. The links refer to: a/ Ariston Andris Lux Undersink Water Heater 2 Kw, 15 L b/ Speedflow Unvented Undersink Water Heater 15 Liter Capacity. It was just to give an idea of the sort of...

At the moment, I turn the Heatrae on when I need hot water (I think) about a gallon - more than a kettle full (2Kw). I then have to wait for about 10 mins for a full re-heat, or sometimes I may run it off at half heat to top up dishes, so waiting for a re-heat shouldn't be a problem. I only...

many thanks OBND Damn - I knew it wouldn't be easy ! I'm due to get a new small CU, so that wouldn't be a problem, but I have just tiled the walls (not realising that I would want to get rid of the heatrae), so bigger cable is out. Do they all need that size breaker/cable ? I know that showers...

Hi guys, When I say 'best', I mean value for money,,,, or even entry level. I'm putting a new sink in the kitchen and ant to do away with the Heatrae on the wall. The sink will be a narrower one due to kitchen size. Its a small bungalow, with just me - :(. Basically, it's just for the dishes and...

Thanks DM, I have started to use tape to stop them sliding down the front, but am limited to how many I can place - actually not too bad considering my condition. I have seen where some people make a 'T' bar (I used to do that when plaster-boarding ceilings), but you have to move it for every...
