    Replacing old, large ball spotlights with smaller downlights

    I currently have 4 ball spots in my front room, they're the old R63 bulb type. These replaced a previous set from years ago. Problem - the holes have enlarged over various refittings, so they no longer fit flush with the ceiling, they drop. While I'm sorting this out, I figured I'd replace...

    Topping up radiators on Heatslave 20/25 system?

    My daughter has just moved into a house with an old Heatslave 20/25 combi boiler. She tried bleeding radiators as they're not heating evenly, but she's getting nothing out of them. I'm assuming they need topping up. On my own system, there's a connection for mains water to top up. I...

    Servis TC601 Cooker - Lower Oven Door Catch Wanted

    Anyone know where I can order a door catch for the lower oven on a Servis TC601 cooker? Most other models seem to have parts (original or 3rd party - doesn't matter) for around a tenner. The only place I've found online for the TC601 wants £40. A bit steep. Anyone know an alternate...

    Only one side of radiator has water?

    Can't quite figure this one out myself. Bear with me as I'm not overly familiar with central heating & its associated jargon - I'm just running with the manuals & some internet info on maintenance. System is running from a Baxi 105e Combi boiler (www.baxi.co.uk has manuals). Prior to...
