Any chance you could do a video focused around starting and setting up on your own as a sole trader. Any tips from experience you can give etc! Would be very helpful for many of us out there embarking on that journey

Oh boy oh boy I’m so late to turn up on this. Just passed out from not sleeping over the weekend. Anyway I would’ve done exactly what u did instead of driving back and forth. That basket swap was an efficient move and it takes experience to think of that on the fly. Thanks Dan for another vid

Hey mate, don’t worry about the late reply. At least you got time to watch it. Hopefully you managed to catch up on your sleep. Thank you for your feedback on the video as always.♥️

I have had a few thermistors check OK out of circuit but go haywire in circuit I just do like you did and replace with a known good one now , in the past in a emergency I used the plastic cap of a 2 L carton of milk to cap off waste worked a treat keep one on the van now 😆

Had a hot water thermistor do the same on a Worcester a couple of weeks back, run tap, boiler was over heating getting up to 85 degrees really fast and cutting out, water was running Luke warm, thought it was the plate changed that, same problem, checked the thermistor had 12oo ohms -2o degrees, changed it anyway and the boiler was fine, run the old one under the hot tap and you could see the resistance go up with the heat. Baffling.

Defo new waste. The way you did it. 30-40 mins of your time has got to be worth more than a £6 waste. Or cut a marigold dishwasher glove and use it as a sealing washer around that black plastic ring and tighten the nut

The NTC commonly runs out of range at the low end (or high temp, as temp increases resistance decreases) when removing and testing at room temperature they usually show up as in range. It’s hard to ever see them out of range under testing conditions. Our job would be easier if they just showed OL when knackered wouldn’t it 😂
