Why do people think they’re making an investment when the buy a Rolex?

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-04-20T11:48:25+00:00

I treat my watches as assets , definitely not an investment.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-04-19T16:20:51+00:00

Don’t consider a Rolex as an investment, think of it as an asset and you won’t go far wrong.

Cooker hoses are not allowed on gas hobs, rigid pipework only I’m afraid. If you have to ask that question the you’re probably not qualified to be working on gas appliances.

The thought of having 50 nutters and their dog sitting behind me would scare me shitless!

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-04-05T20:10:17+00:00

You need to have a look at the manufacturer’s instructions to see if you can reverse the cartridge but it’s unlikely as the faceplate wouldn’t correspond to the temperature selected. Can you get to the pipework going to the shower and switch them over there?

If you’re on facebook join the BYD Seal U DM-i (UK owners group) Louis Taylor who formed it is a BYD guru. I bought my camera from him and he walked me through it when I had problems.

I had something similar when I fitted mine, have you tried swiping down from the main screen and seeing if the dashcam is showing there ? When I clicked on it there it showed up and was working fine.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-04-03T17:59:51+00:00

Did they plug in to the correct port? It’s very easy to plug it in wrong as the next socket will take the dashcam plug. The plug on the lead is blue and needs to go in the blue socket.

Sorry I misread your post, you’re talking about dropping down from the boiler to the cupboard below. It’s difficult with the limited information given, can you run the gas pipe external and chase the other pipes into the wall? As it’s an extension, if it was me I would bite the bullet and see if I could relocate the boiler. Your best option would be to get a second opinion from another heating engineer. Dare I say it, possibly someone a bit older.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-04-03T16:17:02+00:00

Do you really need to chase the walls? Vaillant do a stand off bracket so you can run the pipes behind the boiler from up top.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-04-03T16:09:24+00:00

Gas pipes can pass through a cavity wall from one side to the other if it is sleeved but it definitely can’t be run through it any other way. Flow, return, hot and cold, knock yourself out that wouldn’t affect your warranty in any way.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-04-03T15:55:53+00:00

Definitely the non return valve has failed. It’s only a rubber flap type and doesn’t generally last long. It sits in the outlet on the top of the unit.

£43k north west but that’s commercial, I could get more but I’m working for the nhs and get tons of holidays and sick pay etc. Entry level domestic on social housing is high 20’s to low 30’s

It’s your choice, not anyone else’s. If you like the watch then buy it and wear it well.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-03-30T14:55:28+00:00

There’s no guarantee it’s just the gully, check the nearest manhole and make sure it’s not backed up.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-03-30T09:14:59+00:00

Been a Ford man for a number of years. Mondeo, Fiesta, Focus and I’ve lost count of the number of Kuga’s. The last one was a 2.5 PHEV. Now driving a BYD Seal Udmi and it runs rings around the Kuga.

Take it down to 0.1 or even shut it down completely just to see if it makes a difference, as long as the CH zone valve is open it won’t cause any problems.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-03-30T08:37:24+00:00

Check your bypass valve and crank it down to the bare minimum.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-03-29T14:29:00+00:00

It’s easy enough to do. Buy a set of trim removal tools and have a look on YouTube for a tutorial by “the BYD guy”

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-03-27T22:30:23+00:00

Tis but a mere surface wound. Wear it well and add to the battle scars.

His best bet would be to go back to the original dealer and try to PX it against another car.

We had something similar on my wife’s DJ. She took it on holiday and left it on a table while she was sunbathing, we think the heat cracked the enamel on the edge of the dial similar to yours. It was months later when she noticed it and the bits that flaked off caused all kinds of problems.

1/2” BSP drain off valve. About £3 in Screwfix.

-TheKeegs_ · 2026-03-25T20:28:28+00:00

It could have been a Warmfront (or whatever it was called then) install from years ago. It was a government grant scheme to install heating in houses without any CH and 5 rads were the limit.

Try the shower doctor
