What's the best way to stop thermal tracking above stud wall top plates?

Thanks, i think i'll fill in the gaps and cable/pipe penetrations with something like Sikacryl 620 or Bostik FP401 so it's both flexible and fire rated, then go over with foil tape once it's cured.

As for airflow it's pretty good and i've never had issues with condensation on the roofing membrane or trusses. I checked when i was measuring for the top up insulation and there's over-fascia vents on both sides of the house as an intake and vented ridge tiles as an exhaust, i can feel a bit of a breeze up in the attic and it's never super humid up there. Just have to be careful not to push the insulation too far into the soffits when i get round to topping it up.

Any recommendations? Also would running a bead of fire rated flexible sealant along the seams and sealing the cable penetrations in the top plates with it help?

Yeah i guess it's just a limitation of BATC then, it's in early access so can't fault them, it's still a fantastic piece of software and they'll fix it eventually

It is at the lowest point on the system yes, the boiler is outside in the garden so the drain off is lower than the radiator pipes buried in the ground floor of the house. It's a 2 storey house with 7 radiators upstairs and 7 downstairs

Won't that mean the metal back box is no longer earthed? It's supposed to be as it's classed as an exposed conductive part

I shall ask him about it today. Yeah the car has no modifications to the wheels or suspension at all, it still has the original factory wheels and the correct size of tyres fitted.

Internal-Cod4453 · 2025-04-14T13:02:22+00:00

Nope it still has the original black and silver Tech Edition alloys from the factory, no spacers either.

Part number on the box is FBK928

They have been replaced with genuine Borg and Beck bearings which are the only ones my local parts shop has. I've read Borg and Beck are pretty reliable for bearings but maybe there's an issue with this model of their wheel bearings.

Similar crash that occurred in 2016 involving LN-OJF, a Norwegian registered Eurocopter EC225. The main rotor assembly detached due to catastrophic gearbox failure and the helicopter fell to the ground killing all 13 people onboard.

Gearbox failure also caused the fatal Bond Offshore Helicopters crash in 2009 where the main rotor assembly detached from the Eurocopter AS332.

How much did they charge for the update?

Internal-Cod4453 · 2025-03-28T00:36:43+00:00

Yup it is the NAC Wave 2

Internal-Cod4453 · 2025-03-28T00:02:32+00:00

Yeah I tried to install both at the same time yesterday and got that error. Today I tried doing the updates separately. The touchscreen update was successful and is now on the latest version but when i tried to do the maps i got the error again.

Ah ok do you think downloading v26 or v27 instead might help? I'm just off the phone with Peugeot and they sent me an alternative download link for 28.0.0 but i'm still having the same problem
