Hi all, Wonder if anyone can help? Up until recently, this issue happened every now and then, but now it’s most times I indicate left, and occasionally turning right, that the instrument panel goes completely black. Not sure, but have a feeling it may also be affecting the rear night lights...

hi, It’s that time of the year, the grass is growing, its 1” underwater, and the missus says get out any cut the grass. So today, I pull out my trusty rotak, chuck in a fully charged battery, hit the switch, pull the trigger, and nothing. I can hear a small clicking noise when the switch is...

Hi, in our kitchen, we're looking to make use of our existing chimney as part of the extractor system for above the cooker. The chimney has a very good draw on it. Our house has 2 floors with the kitchen being on the ground floor. Is this possible? What do we need to do, to ensure we...

Thanks John, I think we'll be heading down that route too, and possibly see if we can find out where this draught is heading too, to see if there's anything we can do there. Maybe some incense sticks can help create a smoke trail to follow.... Unfortunately I think our house, with it being...

Hi John, it kind of seems counterintuitive, to have a hole in the wall, that a draught blows through all the time, which then cools the house down, for the occasions when we do have the fire lit. I understand the safety aspects of this, and appreciate it has a use. Any idea on what the...

Hi, when the fire is not lit, should the ventilation be creating a draft that blows through the room? I can understand, that if the fire is lit, then there will be a draft created, to replace the air that is used to burn the fuel, but should there still be a draft when the fire is not lit...

Hi Last year, we had an 8kw stove installed, with a ventilation duct installed. The problem we have, is that even without the fire being lit, there is a fair, and chilling draft coming through. Is this normal? The draft is enough that even with the 2 radiators in the room sending out as...

Hi guys, wonder if anyone can help with a couple of queries I have on our central heating programable timer... We have a Randol Danfoss TP7000 unit, and use oil as our fuel source. Can anyone advise on what would be the best option for the following: chronoproportional contol Chrono...

Thanks Tony, you're help was very much appreciated :-) Thanks :D

Thanks Tony, I assume the 5kw was in total for the room rather than just an additional 5kw. I'd love to get door closers, but I can imagine where they'd end up ;) Thanks Tony

Is this worth doing? Should I just save my cash? Any advice gracefully received! Tony

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on whether to go for this or not? I'd like to get it organised asap, to stop the earache I get from the wife ;-) Thanks Tony

Hi we were concerned about the same issue when we had our shower pump fitted late last year, but we can turn the pump off, and go back to the original flow rate, which was useable, but not great - fortunately it hasn't happened yet that we've needed to do this. Tony

We have the option of moving the rad from downstairs upstairs, and then buying a bigger one for downstairs - ones I've looked at are 3218 W or 2861W. Any thoughts?

Hi Tony, I think we can maintain a temp of about 16.5oc without too much problem. In rooms we use most, we have programable thermostats to control the temps, but its a case of training the wife to keep doors closed, if she wants to stay warm ;-) Thanks Tony

Thanks guys - I've tried using the radiator company's calculatorthe radiator company's calculator, to calculate the heat requirements: it reckons between 3686 and 4418 with single glazed, or 3348 to 4015 for double. Looking at my screwfix catalog, and comparing the radiators we have, one...

Sorry, the measurements of the rads are 1100mm and 1000mm respectively. The reason for wanting it warmer, is the wife seems to have lived in a barn, and likes to leave doors open everywhere, despite my requests to close them where possible. So, then she decides she has to boost the temp in...

Hi guys, wonder if I could get some advice... we have a problem in our hallway, which is very open, with a mezanine. The measurements are: 3.7m x 4.9m x 5m (high) there is a wooden frame single glazed window and wooden frame single glazed door, both into a porch. Upstairs there is...

Hi It was installed to remedy a condensation problem, but during the summer obviously we have the windows open a lot of our windows open, so it appears to be counterintuitive Thx Tony

Hi Woody, would you care to elaborate on how it helps? Thanks Tony
