Today I tried my hand at installing a fuel pump relay and oil pressure safety switch, but didn't quite get the result I'm looking for. The fuel pump isn't supposed to run until the oil pressure sensor hits 5 psi, but right now the pump turns the second I hook the ground cable up on the battery...

Hi all, have not been that active on here lately.

Good morning all,
I have a 2500W Vax pressure washer, almost 3 years old, but only light summer use, could be described 'as new'. Pressure washing the decking the other day, Mrs wanted to cut the hedge so I let her use the long decent quality outdoor extension, I used a short indoor extension...
My customer read on many forums about people suffering to solve a problem with the above Land Rover with regards to a fault code known as P1260. It seems many people have used trial and error methods to resolve the problem but as far as he could see nobody found a fix, or nobody had posted a...
I was using my pressure washer with the extension lead still rolled up on the reel. It obviously got hot and blew the fuse in the extension lead. Which I have changed and is now working fine.
But now the jet washer won't work and I have changed the fuse several times, it buzzes on for a second...
Researchers have developed a novel superconducting material based on platinum, which was, until recently, thought to be unsuitable as a superconducting material.

Hey
Can anyone recommend a 9.5kW electric shower with decent pressure for less than £120?
I've seen a Mira Go and a few Tritons but unsure whether the pressure will be any good for that price.
Thanks
hi
basically we have a small commercial kitchen, we have an open hood/ canopy (approx 1.5m wide), no filters or anything within it (above the gas hobs), then a solid duct goes around 3m up through 1st floor and fan on top of roof (type where fan is directly on top of duct),
The fan is working -...

The supply to this barn...
Was sub contracted in by a plumber to replace an electric shower. Old shower was going hot and cold intermittently. Plumber assumed the shower was knackered and told me to replace it like for like. No cable installation just a straight swop. Also as soon as shower was turned on lights in the...
Hi all
Any one recommend a good pressure transducer? Need to measure the water level in a tank, height is about 2 metres so it needs to be very accurate and a 4-20ma or 0-10v signal is needed. Also would like it to be mounted externally rather than submerged. Any suggestions would be...
Evening everyone, I have just received a job through to install a positive pressure fan in a council owned tenanted property, I would be interested to see what sort of prices people are charging, only that the price I quoted was accepted but with the usual comments from the Q.S. "A little...
Hi Everyone
apologies for not posting in the DIY section but it's locked and not allowing new posts.
We've seen IP65 rated small decking LED lights at Wickes which we thought to use in the bathroom, set into the wall (skirting level). We hope to fit them under a wall hung sink and toilet and...
Hi,
Anyone have any ideas on this one. Helping out a friend on a job ( not boiler related ) and had a look at their Boiler which hasn't been working since before Christmas. It displays an F3 fault--fan fault. The fan is running, and after a short time the fault code is displayed.
There are 3...
Hi guys, my question is regarding a vertical baler (paper crusher). The initial problem was that when pressing the start button to begin the crushing process nothing was happening. The company who supplied the machine 10 years ago will not send me the schematics. After checking the obvious, I...

The circuit is a 16a Radial from board to garage approx 15m long all fed by 2.5mm.

Perhaps this should be directed to a plumbers forum, but I've had good advice here previously.
We have an 8x4m swimming pool, two old 27kw boilers, 35 radiators and 3 bathrooms.
We have a south facing roof big enough for about 4kw PV and some solar thermal panels also.
We have several large cold...
