Having heard that windows 10 will be outmoded, unsupported or just plain old-fashioned by the end of 2025, I am glad that my new pooter will have 11 on it. BUT????? how the heck did you get office for 22 sovs when it cost us £100 more than that? Admittedly for "lifetime" cover.
 
Good news!
After the sparks spent ages trying to work out how the valve didn't seem to be working, and this involved digging wires out of the wall in the airing cupboard, finding loads of ceramic insulated old fashioned versions of choc blocks. As well as checking out the room stat and the boiler. He still couldn't understand what the problem was.
He also spent a decent amount of time trying to understand the wiring diags.
Anyway the upshot was, "Why not just try connecting the live feed to the valve to the "out" from the valve which goes to the one and only room stat, the pump and the boiler?" i.e. cutting out the valve totally.
So he did this and we gingerly switched the system on. And it works. Heating both the rads and the tank.
I had to shove the lever over on the bottom of the valve to make sure that it heated the rads as well as the tank.
The system is slowly warming up but for the moment this is a win!
So for the moment he feels the valve is faulty, straight from the supplier.
I have yet to get onto the plumber. I just want to be sure that the system really does warm up on all the rads we use. so I am expecting to do a bit of bleeding, although that was done when we filled the system.

Not the end, not even the beginning of the end, maybe, but certainly the end of the beginning as Winnie would have said!

Slight "Bé mol" as the French would say....
We want to go to Bath yet again for the usual trip, so I set about prepping the Disco, i.e. tidying my tools away from inside it.
Once done I thought I'd better just make sure it would start.
Oops! Nowt! Tooke the terminals off the batt, put my digital multi meter on it, zero, nada, rien! Never seen this on even a proper dead batt.
So there is me finking, "Here we go again!"
After the sparks had gone I took it into the garage and connected up my fancy charger and it told me there was 12.2 volts in it! So not bad at all.
Now wondering what is up! I have been using my MM a lot recently checking the power of dry cells for Christmas decs, and it seems to be working OK.
Maybe ITS batt is up le spout!
So if I can't charge it up overnight and get it going again we'll have to go in W's Pluriel.
Really not keen as I do want to get to the bottom of the mystery noise which comes from it when cold but, well, .....

So I am off to check rads.
Have a good evening folks.:):):)

At least (I hope now) you have some heat.
If it works that’s great.
Not gonna say it but I am ;), motorised valves should get signal/live to open/close when called? So I don’t really understand that bit.
But this time of year is not a happy time to be messing with it, if you and W are now warmer then good news.

Someone says put diesel over it & it binds it makes it go solid. ??? Bloody messy/smelly/costly id think to do this.
Dont think I'll be trying that lol

NO NO NO! Diesel destroys bitumen. You'll end up with sludgy gravel. Diesel spillage was the scourge of tarmac when I worked on highways. Just put a vibrating roller over it and wait for summer, the hot weather softens the bitumen and it re-binds. Makes a loverly car parking area. (Assuming you get a couple of sunny days north of the wall)
 
Wondering if I should get a 10k loan to buy a newer van, I could just pay cash & be done with it or I keep the cash in case I
find more scrap to buy. 🤣 I have 500 quid on a credit card cause the misses makes me buy stuff on it then pay it off. ??
My limit on that card is 3500. I dont pay out anything else apart from bills ect 310 quid per month over 36 months if I get fed up
paying this can I just pay it off ive not had a car finance or a loan since I was 20.

Just wondering if its a good idea or not just go & work harder for a couple of months to get the extra dosh.:):)
