    Y Plan / Mid Position Valve - Odd Boiler Behaviour

    Firstly - apologies if I was a tad rude earlier in the thread; been a long few weeks. As you know I've been a member of the forum a long time and always appreciate all your help. Like Steps I always have a bunch of manuals to hand; even trained on a Honeywell course. Usually install wiring for...

    Y Plan / Mid Position Valve - Odd Boiler Behaviour

    Left it to the heating engineer - he can work it out! Everything is wired correctly - I'm stumped. I'll let you know the outcome.

    I understand how to wire a system - anyone else had this errant voltage on white wire when heating switches off. Its obviously enough to keep the boiler running!

    Chasing walls out

    That's what we do - customers like it too; makes things seem less drastic to them.

    JCC when did they change?

    I have just removed 2 x 7W fireguard (2 of 4) LED downlights from a bedroom/office - both units burnt out in connection housing (green bit on top) - only been installed since March and room is hardly used.

    Decorative metal conduit

    I'm after a supplier of decorative metal conduit/accessories. I need to install a few switch drops in an old stone built house. Would like to find something like an antique copper finish (or anything - other than black or galvanised). Any ideas anyone? Cheers all.

    I got a letter as well - going on a bit now; I think I swapped the last of the dodgy Wylex MCBs in July 2010
