No bother P&S, just swop it for an MCB. lol
rite...Thx, found a DP switch with "Heating" written on it, have switched it off and breaker now stays up - great but no heating.
Or put it in the main switch,,,LOL..
Test the heating circuit then , but be careful with the boiler and electronics , I would use 250V setting on the I/R tester,,

OK, please remember its my day off, not so much panic, more hissed off I cannot have a day off without trauma coming my way. Mrs P&S has admitted to spilling the water here So has tel has kindly suggested I have done this. Any idea how long this could take as daughter is back in a couple of hours and no doubt will miss these immediately
It depends, find out the output of the heating element in hair drier 1 (HD1), then again for hair drier 2 (HD2). Then estimate the amount of water which was spilt (w) and the amount of area which is wet (A), then apply the following formula: [(HD1 + HD2) x w] / A = t (s)OK, please remember its my day off, not so much panic, more hissed off I cannot have a day off without trauma coming my way.

it's pretty obvious that marvo has not done that soldering. and just think how much gas you've saved since the spillage. i hope mrs. p&s realises that it's a divorceable matter. almost as bad as not having your tea ready.
I don't really do wet works, is it bad - tis 25 years old.Agreed ....... Marvo's soldering is very impressive. I think he's missed his true vocation and should have been a plumber.
Some of those compression fittings in that piccie look a bit "iffy" too - like they've been leaking very slightly and sealed themselves with that green verdigris.
so, obviously there's a fault on the heating.
Good heavens man it's only a couple of pipes and few valves, how hard can it be!Thats where I'd be calling a plumber...
no doubt geordie will correct me on this, but with the new system you probably not need all those valves. when the wet-pants rejigs the pipework, make sure he fits everything accessible, ( but out of reach of your missus.)
well if i can do it ( albeit after a swift kick up the arse from geordiespark) any one except a plumber or kitchen fitter should be able to coipe.

---on a further note try renewing the wife too as this one has become a resource drain!
you already have it, having a scouse mum, you're half human already.

I just thought it was a rather odd post with somebody with so many posts to their name!! As for tests - well the obvious ones reallyTests ? - I asked Mrs P&S what she had done and checked what was plugged in. I then tested my own knowledge of my house and found a switch for the heating. Switched it off and breaker reset. What more could be done ?
