And consider feet through the door and any new equipment from their records.  Unless you get a complete picture you are on a hiding to nowt, a snapshot is not really going to do you any good as busy periods will be hard to anticipate accurately.  Previous yearly records and tariffs need to be...

Compared to last year at this time I presume?  Or is it just an impromptu  exercise? 

Good for you.   Some people are so inadequate that they have to take it out on the defenceless .   I have to say that I would have , and have reacted the same way.  I just hate bullies.

Yes , a lot of them were asbestos.

Are you sure it is not a two event timer and when the heating is off the water is only cycling under the boiler or tank stat during the hot water timed period.  Is it a gravity system?

That was one of the things my Dad taught me at an early age , never to judge anyone. His expression "you never know whom you are talking to."  He was right too. I have met and worked with many people who were not just what they appeared to be.

And another lesson learned.

Me too , but it was the 32A that threw me .   There is this at a quick google. http://picclick.co.uk/32-amp-MEM-Wylex-3871-m6-type-1-182231514157.html  Somewhere among that lot lol.

Push in type on ebay , but Toolstation also sell them for £8.97 If that will do...

Yep , get help , or as has been said get one of them to step into the breach, hopefully you will find out whom your friends are in the nicest possible way.  I have been in a similar situation and was overwhelmed by the support of my mates.

Could well be , also if you have a corroded ,weeping fuel pipe will give the same symptoms .   If you can park it head down the hill ,it helps stop the diesel running back into the filter as a temp measure.  It used to be very common.A new filter head is the answer.  To prove it you can put a...

I have an old Ford Maverick I keep for the winter . It has the 2700 Nissan diesel engine in it . 185000 miles ,. It is not a TDI  and is off the key any weather.  I have never put a set of plugs in it yet.  The only time I had starting trouble   was because the non return valve in the filter...

If the air filter is clogged it will play havoc with the air mass flow sensor as I said before..

If it is a swirl chamber , you may still get the  reading from the glow plugs , but if it has a lot of miles and starting use the tips could well be worn away too. https://www.boschautoparts.com/documents/101512/0/0/0b189154-b815-46d7-bf70-e153bb6ecb88

Does he just wind it on until it starts ? Direct injections should start off the key immediately.  Glow plugs as has been said do cut in and out to aid cold running. Depending on model and ECU it will depend how the starting and cold running sequence is performed.  As Sharpened has said it is...

I'm impressed with your engineering skills and equipment too. :)

You are one handy lad. :)

That's the way I have done it in the past, attached a pipe to the exposed end of the bit and tapped it through. I try to avoid pulling.

I agree with you ,  genuine sandstone is seldom the same every time you encounter it . It can be as hard as steel , or soft and ringing wet.  It can be a challenge.  We encounter sandstone that was like iron, it can be as tough as limestone.
