Yeah it does sting if you leave it on for too long doesn't it!

Try as I may to lower the tone of the forum with the odd subtle double entendre, I'm never going to reach your depths!

The immersion on my cylinder has never been connected to my knowledge. Certainly wasn't when we bought the place and I've never bothered. I was thinking maybe get something cylindrical like an old water butt or lidded compost bin that fits round the cylinder leaving a 4" gap all around. Split it into two halves vertically and make removable joins. Slip some nice, thick wall pipe insulation over the pipes coming off the cylinder. Then go mad with the expanding foam. If I spray the "former" with mould release it should come off.

Redhead? The forensics suggest the collar and cuffs don't match...

How did you go about adding secondary insulation? Just sheets of PIR or an exotic mould filled with expanding foam? I'd worry it might squash my old cylinder and cause it to leak.

Believe me I knew that when I said it. Looking forward to seeing the footage!

And have a drone following for some unforgettable footage!

Even my bloddy NE to SW roof line's against me

Not tonight Faye I'd rather play with a Tesla??? And I'm thought weird for taking my missus to Dungeness nuclear plant on honeymoon!

A complete aside but what you would assume were originally decorative ponds at the Barbican Centre in London were originally cooling ponds for the ac.

And how are you going to guard against that access tower not toppling off your flat roof?

All it says for these is: BS EN 13141-1:2004 (Air leakage)

You've all got every reason to be smug imo.

Jeremy will be along shortly I'm sure...

Yes!

The solar controller should stop circulation in the glycol / brine loop if the ST panel temperature is lower than the tank temperature. In Summer (or any other time) the solar heated water rises. Any solar heated water is if you like pre heat to save on other fuel use.

That's it, pi$$ me off some more why don't you! All I've got between me upstairs is: -Wallpaper -3/8" plasterboard -4"x2" with 4" of badly stuffed insulation -Ply -Felt -Tiles Oh and GAPS! Not saying it's cold in here but I had a polar bear nick my scarf! Lounge got to I think 26deg on Sat helped by solar gain through the sliding doors. Rapidly loses it though.

I am going to "just foam it in" but additionally stick the Thermahood down so no foam can get under the Thermahood into the light cavity. The vcl should then be a continuation of green plastic/intumescent seal/Thermahood/intumescent seal/green plastic. I don't trust my cutting of the PIR between the joists to be that "airtight". Just got some Adaptaflex and M20 glands so must figure bringing that up to the conduit boxes. Making the conduit airtight around the cables (in the conduit) once in I'll do with Wiska gel. Saying that I think the Adaptaflex is air leaky!

Regs are often a poor minimum imo. Just to try and reinstate a continuous vcl. I am absolutely sold on the whole vcl / draught proofing idea. Makes SO much difference.

Nah! Heating oil's magic, it gets through anything! Tbh I do use gloves but always seem to get the odd splash on me.

Replied.

Looking at the lip on the plastic top then Tempest (or maybeWorcester)?

OK, I asked him if it could be a loose connection: "Could be but sounds like it’s the cell, is their any noise associated with the problem? Could be a loose or heat damaged wire or faulty thermostat or something. Give him my number if he needs a chat !"
