Time for another update on my terrible saga.
Absolute disgrace what people try to get away with. Would getting a second hand engine to either Jimmer of Jeff and get them to do the work, then getting that into your z an option?

Central Heating Pipework
Just added all my details to that link and my rads should be more than capable of heating the rooms. Time to get my front bumper back on the car and get the floorboards up I think :)

Central Heating Pipework
My boiler is a conventional boiler that was converted to a sealed system cos of the rad in my loft (conversion). Boiler is a Potterton 60E.

Central Heating Pipework
I'll have a read in a minute Dipone but thank you ;) Looked at the pipework a bit more today and downstairs is split into 2 circuits(in the kitchen), one that goes to the radiator in the hall and one that goes to the 3 radiators in my through lounge. Pretty sure it's 22mm coming from my boiler and think it goes to 15mm where it splits into 2 circuits. My rad temps are as follows with the boiler near max: Hall (600x1000) 46C after 1 hour and 49C after 2 hours Back Room (600x1300) 44C after 1 hour and 47C after 2 hours Front Room (600x1300) 42C after 1 hour and 53C after 2 hours Front window (300x1600) 40C after 1 hour and 50C after 2 hours The pipe insulation is pretty shoddy too.

Central Heating Pipework
No, my house takes ages to heat up. There are some draughts which I need to sort but wondered about the pipeowrk. Would you say I'd notice a difference if it was in 22mm?

Central Heating Pipework
Hi, My downstairs central heating pipes are 15mm copper but am I right in saying it should be in 22mm with 15mm at the radiators? I'm not sure what the upstairs is like. What effect would it have being run in 15mm? Cheers Vijay

How do you test a battery?
Alan, you sure you don't drink much these days??? lol I'll mainly want to check the condition of a battery I use for running pumps and for transferring bio to my car. It's charged by one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12V-30AMP-SELF-SWITCHING-SPLIT-CHARGE-RELAY-KIT_W0QQitemZ200397761079QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Campervan_Caravan_Accessories?hash=item2ea8a32a37 so I obviously have no easy way of seeing how charged at any point it is.

Cheers bud but I think I'm gonna have to leave it and let him get someone in, was just hoping it may have been a simple known fault.

How do you test a battery?
Found out how they work (I think). Looked at Ebay and there seems like 3 choices: Draper - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DRAPER-53090-100AMP-6V-12-VOLT-BATTERY-LOAD-TESTER_W0QQitemZ130323349312QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment?hash=item1e57e07f40 Gunson - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GUNSON-G4184-12V-100A-BATTERY-LOAD-CHARGING-TESTER_W0QQitemZ350186805935QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment?hash=item5188c29aaf Franklin - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRANKLIN-BT110-Digital-Battery-Load-Tester-125A_W0QQitemZ390105549750QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Hand_Tools_Equipment?hash=item5ad41a4bb6 My Z battery is 750A 74AH but will be using on other smaller batteries too. I assume the digital ones will be more accurate and more sensitive to smaller changes in battery levels. No idea which one to get though.............

It's about how different you want your car to look too. I know there's a few bits (if I ever get it finished) on my car that people may not like but I couldn't care less! lol It's just what I think when I look at it that matters ;)
