Yes I’ve tried 2 more from the box and they don’t light up either, but the first one I used did. !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part i circled in yellow in my earlier post is a twist connector (quick lock) KhunDon has explained that the connectors weren't compatible so he added a plastic terminal block - that should be ok. Now it looks like the first one i replaced, i just replaced the LED lamp at the connector and it worked. But KhunDon's issue now seems like my second attempt where just changing the lamp didn't work. My breakthrough was when i realised that i could pull down the lamp and driver from the hole in the ceiling. There was quite a length of wire including a plastic terminal block that joins the wires from the LED driver to the lighting circuit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I'm in town for 2 nights to have root canal surgery tomorrow. As usual I am cramming in as many jobs as possible! I have paid my monthly rent/leccy/water bill...(a massive 2460 this month!) then I went to Facino to stock up on pills....but can you believe my effing stupidity! I handed over a piece of card with the BP tablets I needed forgetting that on the back was a list of important phone numbers. I never got it back!!! That is going to take a long long time to recreate !. Stupid bastard !! I'm now eating "soft" food from Seaside ...Ommelet, spring rolls and an extra portion of fat chips !!..And 2 litres of Mont Clair !! Good Night !!! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Up early today as I should be getting a new boiler fitted. Currently I have a pipe connected to a down stairs radiator and the system is draining down. Hopefully this will give the engineer a head start on the job and prevent a night with no heating. He should be rocking up at 9am which is only 5 minutes away. Hope he isn't late as I will be nervous he may not turn up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the missus have volunteered there a few times, great place, and lovely part of Thailand. Done Hellfire Pass, the museums and graves as well.

I had microbore pipes in an apartment years ago and the boiler needed to be changed to a Combi. A real bastard of a job as he had to make a new manifold as the Combi was a different design at the bottom where the boiler pipes connected to the micro bore pipes, so he had to make another manifold. I paid almost as much for the boiler installation as I did for the boiler. 😟 luckily I got the boiler at cost from a lady friend who buys several every year in her business of buying and refurbishing properties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To swap out a boiler you need to be certified gas safe and to be honest, whilst I have fitted them new in the past, it's not a job I want to do these days. I chose a boiler with a 10 year warrantee and thought the total cost was fair at £2700. Half of that has already been transferred up front, so if all goes well, the other half will get sent later tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
