Update: In an effort to clarify the situation, I've just been in contact with Macrium Support, which confirmed that it will be withdrawn at the end of this year, but that the level of support thereafter seems to be undecided.

On p 20 of Computer Active Mag, issue 671, one of the questioners said that the free version would be closing at the end of this year (i.e. in 6 weeks time). After that it should continue to work but won't get any updates. I haven't yet been able to verify that but it should be a heads-up for...

TBH, and from "experience", you just have to (unfortunately??) accept that the "World moves on" and get those "upgrades" "sooner rather than later". The only times I've ever paid for them were: - About a decade or so ago, buying a 3 licence upgrade of m/c's running XP & (Ugh!) Vista - About a...

Would very small woks make good secondary reflectors????:wacko:

If you are talking about just the 2 0.8-1.0mm connector pins on the thermistor, it might be possible to "cobble" up something using one of the 2 tubular parts of a female "spade" connector, but clean the pin on the thermistor itself beforehand and put some anticorrosion compound on it before...

I may be ignorant, but, on it's own, I don't understand you when you say that that suggests a blockage outside - a combi boiler (generally??) gets its clean air supply from the outside anyway - and thus simply taking the boiler cover off should not make any difference at all to how well (or...

Sounds like the types of pins which used to be used for wire-wrap terminations - remember those?? :)

Having looked at the diagram you linked, I would have thought that they are either 1/4" "spades" or 2-pole Molex or similar connectors???

To be quite "blunt", that's why, whilst I used to service and repair the previous very old (1970s ISTR) Potterton "conventional" boiler, having taken a look at the 2008 replacement Worcester Bosch combi and its manual, I decided to bite the bullet and pay to leave all that work to trained...

Can't think of much else - but I know we had to have both the primary and secondary heat exchangers replaced after only 3 months because Bosch Worcester had a production problem which left (ISTR - it was 15 yrs ago!) sand inside them, They certainly didn't try to clean them out (or at least not...

Sounds like a lot of flushing fluid, hammering and time, then!

There are flushing compounds on the market but it would probably take quite a few attempts and a lot of liquid - if it does work at all?? What sometimes helps is to give the relevant point on the exchanger a long series of (fairly!) gentle taps with a hammer - worked for me on quite a few...

Somewhat weird image apart, I agree with the above - very little unusual weather in terms of wind &/or rain happened this afternoon/evening in West London.

"Serious" (or, at least, I hope!) comment - seems rather odd, don't you think, that none of the windows appear to be broken, so "why not" as I don't think that an "asault by nature" like that would normally have had that effect ? Unless of course, and as CH opinioned, the building block...

A bit of a cheesy comment, don't you think?
