how do you know it's "locking out" and how are you re-setting it?

might be worth sticking a ferrite or two on the link wire

You'll need a chat with a SE about the truss mods. Btdt...

that would involve clambering up ladders etc. Personally I'd be more worried about the amount of entrained water in the delivery. It's amazing how much you can bulk out kero with...

given the flow rate splashback may well be an issue. I'd get a stick myself...

as in a flow meter rather than a contents gauge? Both are possible, but how will the oilman connect his dispense head leak-free to a flow meter?

did it escape BC inspection too then?

is an "attached" garage not a separate space tho, like a lean-to? Was it converted to a "study" before or after completion?

It's a hermetically-sealed compressor. Whilst the heater might indeed be inside the enclosure you might look on the underside of the black housing for a stick-on silicone pad heater with a couple of wires coming off it too.

you'll need a good electrician then.

For a fridge engineer, yes.

Do you have a circuit diagram to show us?

We Don't Know.

Ask if either offer adjustment for future wear.

Sounds like the compressor is faulty.

So a big single phase compressor like that will come in with a good clunk (same but bigger/louder as your fridge in the house). You'll certainly feel it with you hand on the compressor (which will be warm if running or trying to run) and might even *see* it shudder momentarily.

volume producers don't want airtight tho, as this forces extra expense on the ventilation side

As Dave says it could be heating on a resistance heater so you'll need to check carefully for clunks and hums from the compressor

Is there a soft-start device? Have you any way of testing the capacitors? (top right of first piccy) Try seeing where that orange wire on the relay socket goes to..

define "eye-watering" please

Yes indeed, just a wee notch.

this kinda thing, just a foam strip with an adhesive base https://www.amazon.co.uk/Screed-Dehnfuge-Dehnfugenprofil-Self-Adhesive-Base/dp/B00SYVO71A but they were all cut down to be about 3/4 of the screed thickness. Screed can flow over during the install and then it leaves a weak zone for any movement.

Our screeders put a submerged foam joint at every doorway.

@Conor and don't forget the "and can/will deliver to NI"... I rang round a load of manufacturers during the summer and many of them wouldn't even consider *quoting* til about Easter. Who did you get the price from?

I have a Solido Smart, it has the air pump inside a sealed housing inside the neck of the tank (under a double-skinned lid) A hose is fed in from a remotely-mounted inlet, which in our case is beside a hedge and unnoticeable. It's an SBR system so the pump doesn't run all the time anyway, but the only time any sound is noticeable is during the pumpout phase and it's more of a splashing/bubbling sound. Highly recommended.
