I have a couple of issues with integrated. Lamp quality, especially CRI values can be poor and when you need to replace one it might be years from now and the exact replacement won't be available.

If you get the holders and lamps separately you can choose to have a reasonable quality box of GU10 from Amazon for £15 or Phillips Master for £6 each.

If you have a dimmer on the circuit and you convert all the lamps to LED you will need to change the dimmer too.

That looks like a transformer. Sometimes the wires are caught up on insulation or something else!

I use a lot of the EVOFire large hole fittings to convert to GU10. They cover the surrounding plaster which is almost always damaged when you remove the existing ones.

There are smaller ones available which you add a plate to. Last time I looked the large ones were harder to find as I think they are moving over to the normal + plate to cover the larger holes.

There is also a version for insulation. They're rated for fire and bathrooms.

They are all nice watches, the case shape is great, colours are fun. Maybe a bit too much money for some people compared to steel watches especially mechanicals. I've been wearing the Black Snoopy Moonphase quite a lot.

I got the new ipad pro that came out in the summer, pen and keyboard as well and it's been great. It's quite heavy with the keyboard case thing but still more versatile than a laptop for my use case. I had been using the 12.9 pro ipad since it was released and still use it although the big upgrade for me is face id. The keyboard trackpad is very good too. Pen if you use one is a massive upgrade on the early one as it now clips to the ipad and charges.

Not outside of the Neve, Trident sort of stuff and it’s all massive to be using just as a preamp. It’s mostly about functionality and not getting a flavour that doesn’t suit the source/amp/speakers.

I’ve always got on with the Gemini DJ stuff and A&H mixers but that’s just personal taste.

I used to but use a modern one now. They tend to have a sonic signature until you get to the high end stuff. Allen & Heath make some decent ones. Probably worth looking at an analog DJ mixer as they are compact and prioritise line input.

Sonos is probably the biggest player in that market. They are pretty decent.

I've DM'd you a link.

A years free subs to ii if anyone is looking to move to them with more than £5000. Full disclosure, I would get some cash for it.

Thanks for that. I've so little experience of buying leather straps I'd like to see a few in the flesh.

Sorry, realised that after I asked.

Where would you go to find leather straps in C. London?

New one for me. Happy Friday.

Not that easy to tell from a picture but that valve is likely the mains cold water supply which then runs through a Pressure Relief Valve to the hot water tank and the cold water supply. This mechanism balances the output of the cold supply and hot supply so that thermostatic valves etc. work properly.

It is in practical position for a plumber if he needs to change the Pressure Relief Valve as they can fail shut and reduce the pressure to the whole hot water system but not the central heating loop. It is very unlikely it has any bearing on your radiator pressure.

As others have mentioned you need to find a point where the cold water supply is connected to the central heating loop. The pressure of that loop is the reading you are seeing on your boiler. Occasionally these are in really stupid locations and very rarely the flexible pipe is missing or disconnected (good practice is to disconnect it when not in use but 99% of systems I see are always connected).

It doesn't look like your boiler has an internal filling loop and I can't see anything in your pictures that looks like one either. Google flexible filling loop to see what they look like.

Your system boiler and Megaflo is probably the best solution for the number of bathrooms and occupants but it's the smallest size of system that would need one i.e. they are more useful in larger households where there can be multiple demands for hot water. Unless the space is worth a lot of money I would stick with this system.

I would recommend the OF1010 but it might be eyewateringly expensive these days. Make sure you are not going to want 1/2 inch shank stuff like worktops because the 1/4 inch routers won't do that.

The Tanos/Systainer stuff has it's frustrations. As you get more of them there's quite a lot of air around the tools so each tool starts to take up more and more space. The rolling capacity is great in a big workshop with flat floors but not so useful in victorian homes. The new style locks are much easier than the old one which can get very sticky. When you use a lot of tools for a job you need somewhere to store lots of empty systainers and when you come to put the tools away you have to deal with all the boxes.

It's a system that appeals to the brain on the surface and over 20 years I've forgotten how it is to not have the boxes to deal with. It does work well for transportation and the tools stay in good condition longer.

Their carpentry organiser has worked for me for many years but I replaced it onsite with a bag because it's awkward to fit into some workspaces and a small bag works much better.

Yeah, I should have added a troll face.

I wonder what they would sound like with a digital setup and room correction?

Yes, it is, missed that!

It's also suffering subsidence though which is possibly why it's on the market. Probably expecting a high price too as properties like this would normally go through the auction process.

I've used quite a few of these for clients. They have been working very well. Easy to set up. I'd probably fit more if they were a little bit cheaper.

Quinetic, I think they're solely distributed by TLC.

In the walls or under a floor. Your nose should be able to locate it approximately. Usually passes quickly enough not to be worth breaking anything to get rid of it.

A very easy one I use for small patch up is red devil one time. They sell a small pot.

The Pro has a nicer screen.
