Thanks for the reply plumbob.

I have no idea what the bypass is, what zone valves are or if the coil is being bypassed.

Radiators take an age to warm up.

Seimens washing machine problems-please help!

I have a Seimens WXLM 1260 GB washing machine which has started to act up. As I rarely go anywhere near the thing, some of what I am going to explain is 2nd hand information but I am confident I have all the relevent details. The machine started making a whining noise at the end of the final spin cy...

In the dark with light fittings !

Hopefully there is an electricity boffin out there who can help with what to you might seem as an easy problem to solve. Unfortunately it's got me baffled. I recently tried replacing 2 wall lights and a ceiling light. When I removed the old ceiling light I thought I had grouped the wires together in...
