Please see photo attached. Above and below both the oven and microwave you can see the internal trim of the cabinets. Never had this with Wren when we fitted the same appliances before, other then a gap between them which I filled with a wood off cut. kitchen supplier (diy kitchens) are fobbing us off as a "we can supply wood to cut down, but neff should supply a filler panel...... Not all appliances are the same size". Neff just sign post is to a £150 kit which I'm not convinced will solve it. Anyone else come across this?....... Any smart ideas? Thanks in advance!

Just a gentle bump to see how people got on with it? Thanks

Starlink? Wireless broadband wherever you want it....

Got an actual link? Smells very fishy to me...

Could you rotate it round the corner, behind the wood fence?

The most bizarre situation to be in... We have our system up and running on our new room, having had it dismantled for 2 yewrs, now using a refurbished Solis inverter. Generating fine and all looking good, however... It is generating an ultra high pitched whine, like a mosquito on steroids. The most annoying thing... I am the only one that can hear it!! Wife, builder, plumber, Electrician all just can't hear it so have no idea what I'm talking about. The unit otherwise works fine, and I'm probably going to need to replace it when we move in if I can't get to the bottom of it, issue being I probably can't return it because it's technically working fine. Has anyone ever come across this before?

Worked like a treat, thanks all!

Thanks, yes electrician has already confirmed he will do all of that... shortening, tidying, trunking! First, swap them wires over though!!!

Not a pic of it opened up, but attached pic shows it. Right pair wires go to inverter's isolator, left hand pair go to consumer unit. He is back tomorrow to tidy up cables and finish the install.

Thanks nick! , my electrician is on site tomorrow so I'll ask him to reverse it and see if it gets it flashing again. Is there any damage caused by getting it the wrong way round?

We connected our solar array following the dismantling of it off our old roof 2 years ago. The inverter had failed in that time, which has been replaced and all looked to be OK. The house is not complete yet, so after an afternoon of generation I nipped over to check and the inverter had recorded 4.7kwh of generation.... But my solar meter had not increased. It also has a solid red LED. Any thoughts on why it would not be counting the units? House is probably drawing 0w right now, so surely it would just be dumping it to grid... So still generating?

It's called money claim online these days!

Our installer said we could have one of the main controllers (with digital readouts) per room as long as we wired 4 core. He supplied the controller's, we installed the 4 core.... Now 6 months later vent axia confirmed it can't be done!! And a rocker switch off 2 core (as you've suggested) is all we can have. Why can't professional expert installers just do their job right first time. Grrr

Not much of an update. Both systems are installed and are due to be commissioned in a couple of weeks. Installer is a nice guy and was reasonably priced & quick to fit us in, but he has left a little bit more work for me to organise then I would normally be OK with...just with so much going on its hard to muster the energy to push back at times! Hoping commissioning goes ok in a couple of weeks and away we go!

+1 for a 50/60mm flow screed and adding an extra 25 or 50mm odd to insulation.

We have a Vent Axia MVHR installed, and we have 3 x boost switches for the bathrooms to manually boost if (after your poo!). The MVHR was installed several months ago, and will be commissioned in a few weeks time. The MVHR installer is shrugging off the boost switch connections as he only ever installs the master one which comes with a Rj11 type connector & claims he isn't an electrician. Pisses me off this, but he won't budge. As a result my electrician needs to pick up the slack. However, my electrician is scratching his head a bit on the wiring for it, with the attached diagrams being all that is offered in the manual. Each boost switch needs 4 core cable, which is routed back to the MVHR. However, on the MVHR unit there is only 2 terminals per switch. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Thanks guys, hopefully get this resolved on Monday.

Oh bugger! So had we plugged the inverter into the fuse box, the system would probably have worked.. DAMN! 2 weeks of stress and £275 on a spare inverter.

Could you expand on that please? Neither of us are solar experts, and I feel may have made a mistake here....

Hi Dave, thanks....now this sounds really interesting.... as the Inverter wouldn't switch on when he first connected it up, and we bought a replacement thinking it was broken. However, we never connected it into the Grid....so I wonder if the inverter never switched on because it didnt see a grid connection???

Best I have right now. We think the inverter packed up, so have replaced it with a new one due to be delivered today and fitted tomorrow... Hence it all looking messy.

Thanks Steamy. Yes, he is not a solar expert, just a good electrician reconnecting the system up. So the Solarpanels feed just flows into the fusebox? As we have 3 phase, and this is a single phase inverter....he is just going to connect the Solar into our 1st Phase (which feeds the house)... is that all that is required?

Our electrician thinks we need a switch to divert the power between PV & mains into the fusebox. Ie when the day is sunny we switch the PV on to feed the fusebox, then at night switch it so that its 'off' and the mains power is 'on'. He says manual ones are cheap and automatic ones are £80 to £400. It's a old 13 year old system we are keeping due to the favourable FiT, and he dismantled it off our original roof 2 years ago (i know FiT rules have changed, but we dont have the funds to upgrade it). The system consists of a old Solarmax 4200s, couple of large isolation switches and a grey meter box. I couldnt get my head around this, as I have never heard of anyone needing to manual engage their solar system & switch back & forth from manual grid. He brought up a couple of google image search showing 'control boxes' connect to solar installs, but wasn't totally sure either way. I dont feel like he is up selling me & he is happy to connect it all in and see what happens. He is a good guy, albeit it bloody expensive! Any advice, or suggestions as to what he is referring to?

We have the on roof system, it works OK but is noticable in how far it sits off the roof. We do have an old frame that was designed to sit under tiles bolted to the trocal feet which really spaces it off the roof a lot. One to sort when we replace the solar panels in future. We can't replace solar panels due to original feed in tariff we are trying to maintain.

That's my love of expanding foam, figured it wouldn't hurt to try and insulate the pipework as we want warm towels but not an uncomfortably room warm.... Every little helps!
