My wife has a care link system,,, it’s recently been replaced as we’ve moved house… The new one uses the mobile networks…. If it cant connect on one it moves onto the next, and then the next, and so on…… it also has an inbuilt battery backup so should work in the event of a power cut

Check wether the circ feeds from the boiler are extraneous or not, as the oil is outside then it’s irrelevant

If you’re coring a hole one of these is a great investment,,, mine can take a 152mm core drill (without the brush insert) and leaves hardly any dust

Those 3 years have gone really fast…… theres something to be said for straight talking, however the woke parts of our society don’t seem to like it :ROFLMAO:

It’s the same with EV charge point installations…. We’re not allowed to fit them on looped supplies, however if it’s the last property in the loop then it looks like it isn’t looped……. I think that the DNO’s are accepting that a looped supply can have 1 charge point connected to it, but not 2 as...

If 400mm wide and 560mm tall are not the standard single phase size then you could get a three phase one… beware though that they’re friggin expensive compared

In Wales it comes under the “Fitness For Human Habitation Act (Wales) 2022”…. I’d assume that there was something similar for other areas in the UK

Fix the damaged cable first! if it’s a LED lamp coming on at a lower brightness it could be due to capacitive coupling,,, it you replace them with filament lamps I bet the “fault” clears

Sounds fine to me…. EVCP’s need to have A or B type RCD protection and O-PEN protection if it’s supplied from a TN supply

wow…. I’ve just looked at mine and we only used 6.8kWh (electric) and 17kWh (gas) — only the two of us for Christmas dinner though,,,, and we spent the evening at my mates

Those GARO RCBO’s are known to fail,,, GARO have even changed the spec and it’s now got a different part number…. I bet if you can reduce the charge rate to 16A that it won’t fail…. They’ve found that they can’t run at full chat without failing (after a period of time) The replacement GARO part...

Get your landlord to fix it,,, they should be keeping part of your rent to maintain the property

I’ve used the Integral ones on a job before…. The lamp fits up against a thin seal in the bezel and the bezel has a thin gasket too,,, I guess that they’re both fire gaskets? This leaves the depth,,,, I’m afraid that I can’t remember,,, but it will only be the lamp and lamp holder.

Having 2 companies doesn’t really work….. which company is supplying the parts? which company is supplying the labour? which company is supplying the transport? which company is supplying the tools? which company is supplying the IT? which company is supplying everything else?? The companies...

As far as I can tell Currys (and the likes) delivery operatives will look for every opportunity to not connect…. And you have plenty of reasons there for them I’m afraid

I can’t remember the Triton Cara, but some of them have a flow switch built in which will only allow the heater element to operate above a certain flow rate…. I’ve seen several of these fail

I really cant see this change in the target dates having much of an impact with the manufacturers,,, most of them have their business plan already set for the change (bearing in mind that around 1 in 30 new car sales are EV’s) Over the next few years these EV’s will be hitting the second hand...

Foolishly I had the engine rebuilt,,,,, the guy that did it was **** and I had to scrap it when the MOT ran out

Not a tyre,,,, but I’ve had a cam belt snap after picking up a cheap second hand car,,, only drove it about 1.5 miles

Voltage optimisers are a pretty common fix for over voltage in these circumstances… Thankfully I’ve not had to fit one yet and I’ve not paid attention to the ones that I’ve seen
