You must have read it different to how I did! "their track record on reliability thus far has been nothing short of abysmal". "repair trade at least think that these appliances are not great from what we've seen so far" Tbh I've nothing but praise for UK Whitegoods.

Haier...I'll be avoiding that: https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/about-the-appliance-industry/manufacturer-information/2913-haier-domestic-appliances Ditto Logik: https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/about-the-appliance-industry/manufacturer-information/3560 Kenwood maybe.

Yes. Said she can barely manage with the size we have (274L).

Looking at Samsung, Sharp or a cheap Bosch if replacement is required. Want 274L capacity minimum.

Cheap as chips no error code display. I'll drag it out and take a look tonight with a meter; stat, relay, cap etc along with the fan. SWMBO started defrosting it Monday morning so chances are if the fan blades were frozen they weren't by the time I got home.

"And what do you want to buy?" If my school / night school German serves me correctly? No, I didn't use Google translate.

Looks like I stuck the insulated pb to the dpm with Sika EBT around the edge and low exp foam in the middle. Helped by screws at the front.

Is the pe foil faced? Not sure if foam sticks to foil... Spray adhesive was just No Nonsense. I did clean the dpm first with Multi Solve. Just realised I used some Nemesis spray adhesive from S'fix too...Not sure what for, will try and look back on the thread.

Freezer packed up! Temp at around 10deg. Switching to Super Freeze drops it to about -2 and compressor seems to kick in. Thinking evaporator fan maybe duff? As I understand it on Super Freeze compressor runs constantly? SWMBO reckons the freezer has "been making weird noises lately". The usual ruse to get a new one. She HATES it when I fix a domestic appliance! Can't seem to find the fan motor as a spare yet. Might get a number off it when I access it. Left SWMBO decanting anything salvageable to friends and family and cooking anything that can be. Tomorrow night's job. Bed now! Told her to buy a Bosch all those years ago!

Ask @binky?

At least you're building a reputation...

Use Soudal Low Expansion foam. This one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/soudal-soudafoam-expanding-foam-gun-grade-750ml/5026D? Careful as the "ordinary" Soudal foam can looks similar but obviously doesn't have low expansion written up the side! You'll need a foam gun. Dampen the substrates first with water in a plant sprayer. Lines or zig zag the foam on one surface and press the pe (I used eps) against/on it. Use a board against the pe with some bricks against it to keep the board dead straight/flat. You can see the house bricks I used just to keep the eps in place whilst the foam sets: This is where I stuck some insulated plasterboard down onto a sill using low expansion foam: (Novel use of wire coat hangers by the original "builder" as cavity ties ). Bricks on a spare bit of eps to protect the face of the insulated pb underneath: I even stuck insulated pb to the blue dpm I lined the reveal with. The blue dpm was stuck to the wall with spray contact adhesive:

It'll be concise. If I knew then what I know now!

Come run your hands over my floor and walls and you'd not be saying that. I'm going to do a post mortem of all the bits I f**ked up on in the bathroom shortly. (There's a lot).

He's streets ahead already using the levellers!

I've met him twice. "I see you bought the T-shirt" he said as he was signing our CDs. However, I'd made the mistake of wearing the one from the previous tour... "Tight c***!" was his next comment in front of hundreds of people.

No, one header tank.

Cheers. As I understand it there's two tanks in the loft, one big, one small and both with ball cocks feeding them. Isn't that small tank already the header tank?

From reading Dave's link then this could be simply replaced by an indirect tank?

She says only one small tank in the loft. So according to your link it could still be a Fortic type?

More images. In the loft one big and one small tank. She's said: "Hot water is coming out of overflow into the driveway whenever I turn on the boiler"

You mean the hw cylinder? Just the green insulated thing above. Edit: I see what you mean I'll ask.

Update: Seems she never got a plumber in. Now, somehow, the rads are hot as is the hot water but it's coming out brown! Coil in cylinder split?

Welcome. You've found the right place for help. Posting plans up is always good and people will dive in with advice. I'm intrigued...an "advocado kitchen" is that a typically Scots thing as in a seperate space for preparing the things well away from proper foodstuffs?
