    Very simple scenario for those in the know :)

    I have a Nest thermostat in my hallway. Our lounge radiators have no TRVs and I cannot get them to come on with any decent amount of heat. Should I be leaving the door open to the lounge so that that room calls for heat or do I need to get TRVs. Or does a TRV not help this problem anyway! Same...

    Anyone know what those ceramic half pipe gutter section things are called?

    Dunno if they're still a thing at all, could be old school only, but I remember seeing these gutter sections about 16" long, maybe 4"ID, 6"OD or something like that, maybe a bit bigger. Ceramic like bricks, but maybe glazed I guess. Is there anything like that available these days, and if so...

    Hardened ‘O’ rings

    Servicing a Riello burner and noticed a weep of fuel from under the pump. When I checked, the O ring under the pump filter cover was hard, like plastic. Do you guys normally change these, as a matter of course, during a service?

    I've set a notice up for newbies that's global. (In all forums and pages). Telling them to report posts they found unhelpful or insulting.

    Tax return materials connundrum.

    You declare your income and you submit all your material receipts. But most people end up with a lot of materials on the van. They already claimed the full cost of which offset against their earnings. Presumably this evens out because you then use them up next year, have less material receipts...

    One of those houses, one of those days

    Do you ever go to a house, more than once, where things just go wrong ... EVERY TIME YOU GO THERE!!!??? It's like I'm cursed every time I work in this flat!

    What are those two taps on my boiler ?

    Hi. What are those two taps on the flexible Alu pipe under my boiler? What is their role? Are they expected to be both closed all the time? Please forgive me if the question is silly, but I am having problems with the boiler and I doubt "both taps closed" is the right setting under normal...

    Using those quote boxes ??

    Can someone tell me how to use those quote boxes in your reply to someone. The ones where you take what someone else said and post it above your reply so the thread of conversation follows though without people thinking your 3 days behind ! :toetap05: Thanks

    Those of you working for firms...

    Did you have to give up your personal registration? How did you feel about that? If anyone did give theirs up and then re-registered, did you get a new number, or the old one again? Did it cost £450ish like a new registration, or was it £150ish like a renewal?

    Those little mechanical clocks...

    Those little 24hour mechanical clocks, are they standard on all older boilers such as the ones seen in old Alpha Combis etc, I only ask as I have to change one in a heatline, but they want 100 odd quid for one, they are identical looking others for 10-30 quid!!
