How to fix a leaking radiator valve.
The plastic in Thermostatic Radiator Valves, TRVs, has a tendency to become brittle and this causes them to disintegrate. When this happens, TRVs will not turn off. If you then need to remove a radiator, what do you do? We show you how to stop the water from escaping from your central heating system.
Radiators can also leak from the valve opposite to the TRV. In this video we also show you how to stop such a leak.
This video will also help you if you have a problem with a radiator that has a TRV fitted to it: ruclips.net/video/sNtzAiy4dVo/видео.html

How to replace a radiator that has a TRV
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.4 месяца назад
I was going to renovate the old radiator in my toilet until I looked at the price of radiator paint. The preparation of the radiator and the drying time, the smell of paint and having a cold radiator for several days while it dried led me to cost a replacement. I was surprised to learn that a new single panel radiator could be purchased from my local Screwfix store for little more than a tin of...

How to reverse a Caravan or Trailer, Caravan Tips and Tricks
Excellent, my back pain has completely gone. The file is the perfect length to relieve pain and then let me get on with my day. I went very deep (I had already been practising self-hypnosis for other reasons). I really liked the magic pool, water is such a powerful symbol of the power of our subconscious that it doesn't need explaining, it just works. And this session works. Thank you!
Hi @TonusFabri2024. The best thing you can do is to relax. But this can be hard to do because the more you think about it, the more stressed you can get. Taking your mind to a different place wil help you to relax and it will relive your pain.
This is a great video, very helpful indeed. Just to mention if you use a fish tank air pump at least 45 liters of air per minute, connect a hose to it and pop it in one of the holes and let it run, this clears the window very quickly. Also filling the air space with scuba air is great because it's less than 10% moisture.
Thank you @matthewjameson5344. I like to learn something new every day and this idea is a new one for me.👍
Fantastic!
Thank you, we are delighted that you enjoyed the video.😀
Do you need the top cap off when you fill like this to prevent pressure building up?
Hi @Thekickstand. Good question. No, the presure remains constant, because the water is replaced as it is used in the caravan.
Question do the Brake Lights LIGHT UP when Regenerating Brake is applied?
Good question. You could be going down hill and regenerating power but not slowing enough to activate the deceleration sensor. So no brake light but still generating power.
I read online that the brake light activation is determined by the force of deceleration. So, if they're not coming on, it's because you're not stopping quick enough! When it regens more harshly, causing rapid-enough deceleration to mimic actual braking, the lights will come on.
Hi @hugemoose101. You are absolutly correct.
Great video. I’ve had one fitted yesterday. Just need the car now.

Hi,can u help me ? I need to know what voltage have the charger..original charger?
I think you are refering to the power brick that powers the all in one? Input 100-240 2.0 AMPS (that is the AC power that goes into the power brick from the house power supply) Output: 19.5 volts-7.7 AMPS (that is the DC power that goes into the PC from the power brick) I hope this helps you.😀

Should a thermostatic rad valve be in the bathroom?
Good question. The one place you don't want a TRV is in the room where the thermastat is. As for bathrooms (perhaps I should have said toilet) most people like a hot bathroom but there is no law that forces you to have a hot bathroom and you can use a TRV to set the tempreture as hot or cold as you lile. The TRV in my toilet has brocken, it fell off because the plastic became brittle with age. So it is always on full. I will change it in the summer when I drain the heatting system and fit new TRV to all the radiators in the house.
Normally there is no TRV in the bathroom
It's TRV and not TVR 😂
Clear water can be a sign of a leaking central heating system.
Did the blank and vent not come with the new radiator??
Lovely to watch you both fate all this time!, We missed your useful wisdom. We wondered how you got on with your ipace? and you have moved too!! Hope you are going to post regularly, glad you are back. 😊
Yes we still have the |I-Pace. and we are very happy with it. We moved house in November 2023. We are very happy with the property, and we love our new home town. The people are very friendlly. The house had some surprises for us but we are working through them one by one. The good thing is, these surprises are giving us an oportunity to post new content.😀
That is brilliant and nice to look forward to!! Are you still in the north?
Hi @@HTV55838 . Yes, we are so far North that we can see the Scotlish Montains from our Kitchen window. But we have to drive 200 yars to the top of the nearest hill before we can see the Mountains of the Lake District. We are miles from the nearest motorway, maybe thats why the locals drive so well, No agression on the roads round here, it makes driving a pleasure. They will give way to you when they have the right of way, just to be friendly and they smile and talk to you in the street.
Idyllic!!!
Thank you
Your welcome.😀
Ours is looped I think I am so stressed about all of this. Our car is ready to pick up but because of this home install issue we can't charge if at home yet. I am worried about the neighbours and that they will hate us for digging the road when it's difficult to get down anyways
Before we were unlooped I used the granny cable that came with the car to charge it. We used a outside electric socket.with an extension to the granny cable.that connected to the EV. But make sure the plug on this cable is protected from rain. I used the front door canapy as protection. A waterproof electroical box should work. As for the neighbours, they should be happy to know their elecricity connection will be upgraded so they will have an electric supply of their own.
Thank you for such a very simple tutorial video on GIMP. Seeing what you had done this, I believe you can ditch the Nero (commercial) package and use Avermedia (open source) to accomplish this, instead.
I don't drive but I love this parody (by Shirley Serban) about trailers and caravans. I especially like the line about angles and turns. ruclips.net/video/-nTr17tCUEM/видео.htmlsi=f1U4r4-uUdW3ZLg7
In theory test questions is? Where we can caravan practise ? In empty parking place. Is this answer was right? Tell mi.
Hi @zarsha. In a practical setting, when learning a new skill, it is better to have plenty of room around you. So on an empty car park is where I would start. From my experience, parking in a full parking place is quite difficult and very costly. I hope this answer helps to answer your question.
Object clearance. Get your rear car wheel past the object or caravan wheels if you are pulling one, you WONT hit it., dont risk SHOULD NOT
Thank you Adrian. It all depends on the distence you are from the kerb.

did you replace it with a sata ssd drive? and is there no need to format the disk in any way after replacing it for the system to work?
I used a Samsung 860 EVO SSD with a sata connection. But check your PC is also satta type. Once cloned and swapped with the original it worked.
@@UsefulWisdom ok thx
would have more respect if you never used motormover
Well spotted. Motormovers have their uses. I park my caravan ouyside the front of my house. The drive is on a hill and the towbar has to angle into the corner of my house and the neighbouring house to fit on my drive. This manuver is only possibe with a motormover. 😀

Hi @jasminesoleimani4513 and thank you for your comment. You are able to control your mind and so control your pain.😀
Being a newbie, I so apreciate your videos. Are you no longer travelling in your van?
Hi @wendee2022. Good question. We are between vans at the moment.
Good evening, can i ask how you switch between video 1 2 3 and 4 without having to trim the files. i have 2 videos pointing at different people, but they are synchronised to have the same audio.So i basically need to turn off video 1 for 30 seconds, then video 2 for 30 seconds etc.
Have the videos on different video lines, then move the videos along the time line. The video on the top line will hide anything playing below it. I hope this helps.
@@UsefulWisdom thank you, I'm thinking more along the lines of switching back and forth, similar to premier Pro in this video ruclips.net/video/mRasY7CGvCs/видео.html
Hi @@B4LDM4NStudios There are many techniques to edit video. The best way to have a good original video is to come up with your own ideas,. Take ideas from everywhere then understand them and use them in a different way.

Hi, on the jointing day did the contractors connect you up or did you have to hire an electrician to do your connection?
The contractors did everything.😀
@@UsefulWisdom thanks, wonder why I’ve been told to have an electrician on hand?
Hi @Mitesh Mistry . Sorry, I don't know but the DNO could be playing it safe. If something in your house stops working when the power goes back on, the DNOs electricians will hand the problem over to your electrician (I would think). For example, when my power goes off, then back on, the clock on my cooker has to be reset. That was not a problem for me to reset it but for some people it would be an issue. DNOs must have people holding their teams of electricians up with such problems. Perhaps your DNO has handed such problems back to their customers.🙄
