Sofa foam filling - what is this filling called?

We had our 6 year old sofa taken away by a local tradesman last year to put new filling in as it was sagging badly. It has been ok untill recently, but the cushion that gets used most has started sagging again. Being curious, i took the bottom fabric off to have a look to see what the repair man had...

Hello, i went to a local electrical supplier today to get some of this cable to renew a steam iron flex. The woman in the shop told me that it is no longer available & once the flex is damaged you need to replace the iron. Seems a bit stupid! Anyone know if this cable is available still? Many th...

Thanks htg. Am hoping it is air. The system seldom looses pressure & maybe once a year i have to top it up to the 1 bar mark, but tell you what, it can be a bugger to get the air out.... & of course the more you bleed the system the more go have to keep topping it up. Will leave the flush in...

[quote="ChrisCyp"]I have just installed the same unit and guess what! After the second switch activation the MCB flipped and inspection shows that the txfmr has failed. Unfortunately I cut the 12 volt cable to extend it so I doubt if Wickes will refund - but I will try. Could the fact that...

Many thanks once again ericmark. The diagram you mention would be the correct way to go & when time permits i will do it as such. For the meantime i will just leave the transformer disconnected (Got another replacement one from wickes yesterday). Must admit that the transformer supplied with the...

Thank you ericmark for taking the time to reply. The bulb used is rated at 20W, so this is well within what the transformers max rating. I took apart the failed transformers just as a matter of interest, and in each case, a resistor had burnt out. There is no provision to cool the transformer and no...
