A lot of the pipework is 22 mm going down to 15 mm I think for the tails to the rads, but not sure, can't quite remember. The house is a Swedish designed one, timber framed. W and her ex bought it brand new. It was one of the first, sort of a show house as there are three types on the estate...

This bullet has got to be bitted, so thanks for the info. Surprisingly maybe, I have posted on ere from the Alcatel but only rarely, usually when travelling, through the hotel's wifi. Wot is the advantage of a phone being Sim free? I really, really prefer pay as you go as I use my mobile SOOOO...

No, the tank is on the first floor in the airing cupboard above the stairs. Fairly trad positioning really. Together with the pump. The boiler is on the ground floor in the utility which is attached to the side of the house. There is inhibitor in the system, when I drained part of the system to...

and this for a laugh. W just shouted down from the guest bathroom. "Why is hot water coming from the cold tap?!" Wot the flip? Thinks I, as I run up to see what she is on about. Mind boggling, could I have really swapped the two feeds over?? No, of course not, what she meant was "Why is the "C"...

I'll take a pic of the valve and put it up, the valve may be on its side cos the little lever is on the bottom. TBH we never have just the hot water on, we are never here when it is warm enough for that. So I daresay that valve gets little or no use unless when the cylinder is not asking for...

Thanks for this pic, mate. On looking at our system it is obvious that the pump drives water through the heating coil. There is a two way valve just above it part goes off to the heating system and the other part to the heating coil. I have to assume that when the system is set to "HW only" this...

Afternoon all. Re the CH. I wasn't lucky. It is now choosing which rads to heat up and when. The only control I have over it is to turn rads off. When they are all open, (except the one in the garage and the guest bathroomso we are now down to 5, only the 2 upstairs ones get any heat. So this...

This is just one of the threads on this that I have found. Maybe you have already seen it, but it says that the ECU is supposed to do it. https://www.lrukforums.com/threads/3-9-v8-idle-speed-adjustment.134641/

Well you'll be bugred then as Herpes is called Evri now!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think you probably feel the same about square rolls as I feel about croissants. The Brits can make them LOOK like them but only one person I ever met could make them TASTE like they should. He imported all the ingredients from France, even the WATER. And they did taste like the real thing...

I not sure what a gravity hot water pump system is, but yes it does have a pump and it normally copes fine. It seems to be working and I am just coming to the end of my round of bleeding the rads. I discovered that the lock valve on one seems to have been nearly closed. I don't know if you have...

It IS set to 4g 3g 2g auto connect, BUT it isn't 4gVoLTE compatible, which is why when I try to make a phone call with it, it just sits with "Calling" showing but the other phone which is right next to me doesn't ring. But I can send it a text. Here is a search thing for VoLTE compatibility from...

Re divorce. How is this for the most stinking depth to which a soon-to-be ex can sink to? W goes to a sewing group and one of the ladies has said that she is no longer coming as she has too much on at the moment helping her son deal with his divorce. It has got completely out of hand. Hi...

Got the phone bill today. Found out that two calls to Barclays on their 0345 number cost me £13 in all. and all that was to try and use their online service, which I never managed to do. Still at least the two accounts are now closed. This follows on the heels of a package from the Nationwide...

Not too good but still not bad.:) I feel for you. Ticking time bomb and all that.....:( Glad you are getting the monitoring that you need. They have only started doing this fairly recently I think. (I knew two guys personally, both fitness fanatics, in their 40s, who died from this.) So it's...

Yours is more sophisticated than mine as I only have access to HW or HW and CH together. Can't have CH on its own. The tank thermostat is on the side of the tank and is adjustable, so I can set it to any temp and it clicks when it gets moved past the temp the tank it at, so I know it is...

I 💕 Irn Bru. Sort of thing you miss when you are abroad, like in Angleland!!! Or Froggleland!!

"The term 'whisky' derives originally from the Gaelic 'uisge beatha', or 'usquebaugh', meaning 'water of life'. Gaelic is that branch of Celtic spoken in the Highlands of Scotland. " From...

Well I did find both of these spellings of it. You say "eether" I say "eyether", etc etc.;) At least I didn't simply call it "Whisky".

Right. The HW issue is sorted. One closed gate valve which is now open. I have precisely one motorised valve that's all. But, like you I am mystified as working on all the central heating systems, gas boiler driven, that I have had in 4 houses, I have never had a problem like this. I have had...
