I have had three Aqualisa showers in our house for many years and have found that there is a lack of information/advice on servicing the cartridge part number 022801 and the other similar cartridges. However, having tackled several cartridges my experience is documented below. There are three...

My Miele G646SC has developed a water leak between the main circulation pump and the main filter housing. It just drips into the water collection tray and trips the flood protection switch. This stops the machine from running and then continually run the drain pump until the water evaporates...

I am replacing a laminate worktop on existing cabinet units. There are three sections - 3 sides of a rectangle bounded at each end by walls. Centre wall is 4.6 metres long. Worktop is to be fabricated offsite by local worktop factory. No problem with first join but second has to be made in situ...

I have two under pelmet mains 9W florescent strip lights installed in my kitchen. They have been there for many years. They are wired via a fused lighting circuit spur which can be turned off via one of the kitchen light switches. The florescent lights also incorporate an on off switch. The...

I am in the process of replacing the door hinges on my (over 10 years old) Magnet kitchen cupboards. The hinges are mounted in two ways:- 1) simple with small chipboard screws securing the 35mm boss 2) nasty - pressed in with no screws to remove. Before I do something bad - can anyone...

We have had several reports of people calling us, getting a ringing tone, but our phones do not ring. This seems unlikely to me but my wife is convinced it is happening. We have three phones connected to various extension points in the house but none appear to ring. Talktalk have checked the...

I am redesigning the utility and looking for any bright ideas on how to make more easy the movement of a very heavy (Miele) washing machine in and out of a fitted space just wide enough to accommodate the machine. Someone must have come across some good ideas or bits of kit to help with this...

The socket in my garage is used to run a pond pump and occasionally power tools. The pond pump seems to fail every 3 or 4 years and trips the RCB in in the main board and takes out all the sockets in the house - not much fun if on holiday. Is it possible to separate the garage circuit so it does...

I have recently had the pressure dropping on the central heating system. Dropped from 1bar to zero in three days. The Engineer restored pressure to 1.5bar via filling loop and asked me to monitor. Lost about .2 bar in first two days and then dropped to zero in about three days as before...

Can anybody give their experience of finding a leak in central heating feed pipes buried in concrete using thermal or similar detection systems. Leak seems to be worse when system is hot and total loss is about cup full every two or three days. If pipes need to be bypassed any views about...

:?: I am planning to have a 250L unvented system installed. From another thread have come to the conclusion that most of the main unvented systems have similar performance. Having read various other threads it is clear that pressure and flow are important. My situation is as follows:- 1)...

:?: I am planning to have an unvented indirect hot water system installed. I had virtually decided on a Range 250L as recommended by a couple of friends but then noticed the MegaFlow system which seems to be the market leader. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the MegaFlow is worth the...

:?: I am having a problem with our heating system. Everything is working as expected except that the pump is not being run. Therefore boiler (Suprima 80L) quickly and correctly cuts out. Pump appears to be free but I cannot detect any power to the pump. System is four years old Y plan...
