    LED getting covered in black dust on FireBird Enviromax Oil Boiler

    LED getting covered in black dust on FireBird Enviromax Oil Boiler

    I had the exact same problem, I have opened up the air slide to improve excess air in the flu gas. I haven't had any issues since. Your neighbours may not have balanced flu boilers so they can have taller chimneys with no adverse effect.

    Price difference between Concrete Slab and Suspended Timber Floor

    I lived in a 2 storey with timber floors for 11 years, I put the concrete floors into my current house. The reduction in noise carryover from upstairs is fantastic. We used to think that the kids were trying to drive us mad by rolling coins from one side of their bedrooms to the other, the...

    VW Transporter sluggish

    Thanks lads, it was a stretched throttle cable after all, its amazing how useful it can be to have another person sit in the van and press stuff so as to watch the operation. I might have a look at the shock absorber on the pump too just in case.
