OK so an update to hopefully help others in future. I purchased: immersion wrench, PTFE liquid, new drain cock, hose, inhibitor so maybe £40 Plan was to drain down the system and remove/replace element and replace drain cock. Isolated all electrics Removed supply cables from element - these...

Thanks - yes managed to get one.

Hi, I need to switch out the heat element on mine later this eve and am not at home right now, I remember that the "bit" shaped piece on the outside of the tank is pretty large. I guess I'll be needing to buy a big spanner for the job. Please - is anyone able to measure the size of this so I...

Thanks for that. I'll give fixing the current small issues a go but before any real expense I'll get a replacement then if the tank itself is going to start causing issues going forwards not much point in putting more money into this.

In my last house I wired to a central point in the loft for the recorder and this was connected to the network so I could remotely access setup/footage and it would be less likely for someone to find the recorder - or at least would take them a while to. Just a pain if you need to physically get...

Hi all, we've a small flat with one of these in and it has a couple of small leaks but otherwise works fine. The leaks are 1) from the drainage exit and 2) around the connection of the main heater unit . I thought I may have a go at fixing these but wanted to check I wasn't doing this wrong...

Thanks - my question wasn't maybe clear enough. I'm aware you can have a 4 door config with 3 folding to left and 1 to right and this is likely what we'll end up with. In the perfect world there would be a system that allowed the right hand door to EITHER open to the right (as above) or by...

Hi all, have a bi-fold door configuration challenge We have an opening that is currently c2m and has a simple 2 bi-fold door system sliding to the left (viewed from inside the house). Very happy with that. But, as part of a kitchen de-design we’re opening this up to 4m to 4m20cm and need...

The proposal from one supplier/fitter is Worcester 18i + Worcester cylinder 250L indirect unvented + various other parts to make it all work. With the added complication of the condensate pipe - though maybe we can route that over the roof to save going through concrete floors and re-tiling part...

Wow yes just noticed the weight, that could be a challenge to get up 2 floors with not the widest staircase :-) Really appreciate the input. Many thanks Adam

Thanks Tony for your reply. There will generally be 2-3 people in the house, more of a holiday home at the moment than full-time use but that is hoped to change in a few years so we need it working well for 2 people full time living. I was thinking not to have any storage just a combi -...

Hi all, I’m looking for some guidance on whether we’re planning on the right boiler solution for our house. The house – 3 story townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas, 2 bathrooms with showers, 9 years’ old. Boiler – Current one is v noisily and a couple of different opinions say to...

Ha - yes quite right :-)

Great thanks, was wondering why it needed power.

Thanks guys, I have the new thermostat that needs just a live in/ out. I opened up my current one and it has the following: What do I need to do to replace this with the new one? I was hoping to see a similar live in/out so bit stumped. Thanks Adam[/img]

OK, many thanks for the helpful replies. Not sure what wires go to the thermostat but will take a look, with it isolated. Thanks again Adam

Hi, I have a pretty traditional setup with a gas powered boiler for heating and hot water with a single room thermostat which is just a simple dial to set the trigger temp for the radiator heating. I would like to replace the thermostat with a time controlled one so that I could get it to...
