Paint ding

Hi Phil,
I could be wrong, but it looks to me that the bumper has been painted at some point in the past, and it was done whilst still on the car. As a result, the very top edge of the bumper couldn't be properly prepped, resulting in the flaky paint that can be seen in the join. You might get away with a "smart repair" in the short term, but I suspect it will need a bumper off repaint for a permanent repair. Hope this helps, Cliff |

Keep an eye out for a replacement bumper on Ebay or ask traders on here what they have in Wedgwood JEL ;)

I want to ask a question about something very different. We have a Gledhill Pulsacoil BP open vented mains pressure hot water cylinder using off peak electric. The temp of the hot water is way too hot, it is scalding. We suspect the thermal sensor and there is no adjustment, to lower the temp which is factory preset at 55C. A label on the boiler says it was manufactured in December 2012. I showed it to a plumber who came to change a dripping tap. He said he was not trained in Pulsacoil electric boilers and could not help. In essence, we are looking at lowering the temp so it’s not scalding and dangerous. Who is the right kind of plumber in the region of Bristol we can call out? It’s too complicated for diy/amateur. |
Pulsacoil are made by Gledhill as you correctly point out
Gledhill do a fixed price repair. https://www.gledhill-response.net/one-off-repairs/ In its simplest explanation it is a hot water cyl at low pressure (open vented) heated electrically. it has a cold water mains pipe running through it. Due to conduction the mains pressure water goes in cold and comes out hot. There is a train of thought that having it "too hot" saves money. ( it makes you put the plug in the sink and add cold so hot water is not running directly down the drain ;) ). If the appliance proves to be working correctly and the sensor isn't faulty there is a mixer valve we used to set up and use in establishments where people were vulnerable to being scalded, this can be set to mix the hot and cold water to a temp of your choice before it reaches the tap. Depending where you fit this device it could be for one hot tap or all hot taps. |

Anyway Dave, thank you for coming back. I knew you would understand ;) |
Hi Phil,
here you go As for keeping the water temp at 55 to 60 degrees this article on legionaries disease this was an interesting read when I worked for Carillion https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2094925/ |
