Many thanks for all your comments. I had asked for the Arco drainage as my garden slopes up from the house. Didn't realise the builder would use it for the kitchen pipe. I'll follow up with the builder first and then the building regs officer if required.

Yes my thoughts were come summer time anything from the sink could stick in the Arco and smell!

My understanding is it's connected to a pipe running under the garden.

My builder has just finished an extension for me and generally made a very good job. However i've noticed the kitchen sink waste pipe empities directly into some Arco type drainage fitted along the property. Usually Arco drains are surface water but I guess it could be connected to the main...

Back again after a trip to replace lamps and lights at IKIA. (Had the same batch of lights but no concerns from other purchasers!) Refit and switched on (Using std switch) only 1 came on again! Switched off and back on ~ both on. Just decided to wire the timer back in again and getting mixed...

Yes thanks. They seem to lock into position (Pin type).

Hi, thanks again for the replies. regarding the timer, it's just a standard dial / peg unit. I don't think it's the timer as I put the lights on a standard switch and it did the same. (Intermittent on/off lamps). What I would say is that when switching the lights on they / one might initially...

Hi John, thanks for your feedback. The lamps are 220~240v 50/60Hz 6.3W Ikea LED GX53. Mounted in a Haggum recessed spotlight. I'll try exchanging them (lamps & fittings). Just a bit of a hike to the shop.

Many thanks again. As the standard fittings work fine I would like to think it was the Ikea fittings. I will look into replacement and see if that sorts out the problem. Maybe I should look at another supplier! Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback. The LED fittings are mains supply. Not sure if the fittings have anything built in, they don't appear to have. Thanks CML.

I recently installed two LED lights to a garden building using a timer switch for on/off. Unfortunately one / both often don't come on using the timer. I changed the timer to a switch and found even the switch is intermittent on initial switch on. I've tried standard light fittings which work...

Yes it's taken this long! Phone calls back and forth between the plumber and myself he eventually got the BAXI people out who again seemed to take an age before they arrived to check it out. Then another week and two calls telling them how crap there service is. They apparently fitted a Gas...

Many thanks again. i take it you are referring to the smell ! I would recommend this site for the excellent & promt advice from some very knowledgeable people. Many thanks CML

Thanks again for your feedback. Was this problem recently? As in the last 6 months? CML

OK, thanks for your advice. I'll try and follow it up with the installation people. CML.

I've recently had a new Baxi Duo-tech Combi 40HE boiler installed. It replaced a conventional boiler 18 years old. The problem is the new boiler intermittently sounds like a wagon is parked outside and gives off a low vibration sound which is annoying. Added to this the flue outside sounds the...
