    sealed unit replacement dimension

    Thanks for the input , guys. Pretty sure the glass is nothing special and 4mm seems a good bet. I'll go with the 28mm . 4+4+20

    sealed unit replacement dimension

    HI I need to replace a blown unit so I've taken it out and measured it at 27mm depth. Replacements are available in increments of 2mm. Do I go for 26mm or 28mm? Thanks for reading

    Is this a stopcock?

    A friend lives in a cottage in Dumfries and wants to isolate his water supply. Removing the lid of the access chamber reveals this bit of kit. I had expected a valve of some sort but have no idea what this is or how to operate it. Anyone know how it works?

    heater fan- blow or suck?!!

    Many thanks for your careful and knowledgeable reply. And yes the fan is definitely the cylindrical cage type, not that the plug allows the wiring to be wrong. I've hunted without success for the mouse nest. :giggle: And I still reckon the recirc system should suck not blow. I'll keep thinking...

    heater fan- blow or suck?!!

    Sorry I wasn't clearer. There is a motor driven hood or flap on top of the fan assembly and this opens when the re-recirculate switch is operated. This is where the cold air comes from when it is opened. Very little air comes out of the windscreen, foot well, face level vents, with any settings...

    heater fan- blow or suck?!!

    I recently switched the heater blower on my 05 plate Touran and now nothing comes out of any of the outlet vents regardless of the selector position. Curiously though, when I open the re-circulation inlet the cold air blasts out. It is as though the fan is working in reverse!! Any one any...

    Touran trim screws and bolts

    Hi there I'm restoring a 2005 VW Touran and need to replace the screws that hold wheel arch liners and so on. They are torx 25-30 and have a broad self-tapper sort of thread. So I need to know where to get them and it would be helpful to know what to call them as a start:) I know I will need to...

    car radio switches off and on

    It's a 61 plate Golf and the unit has parking display, and phone connectivity so I'm sure it would cost more than the car to get another from VW. ebay is a good call but wondered if there was anthing obvious- and simple- and cheap! to try first! Thanks.

    car radio switches off and on

    My car radio switches off- and back on- seemingly randomly. At first I thought it was a dodgy power connection but all the cables are fine. And if when it goes off I press the on button it comes back on again. At the moment I drive along pressing the on button every so often! And that can be 3...

    open vent system expansion pipe configuration

    Excellent advice. On those numbers I could manage a 45 degree slope which would make for easy pipework. :) Thank you so much.

    open vent system expansion pipe configuration

    So if tee about 150mm and then run the expansion pipe horizontally for say1000mm before connecting to the vertical pipe to the tank that will be OK?

    open vent system expansion pipe configuration

    I am re-siting my boiler and the existing expansion pipe is no longer directly vertical above the flow and pump . What is the minimum vertical length of pipe I can get away with before a horizontal section to connect with the existing vertical pipe?
