I definitely cant access the middle ones as my tow bar is in the way. The two side ones are high up and can just reach them with the bumper on. Would be a bit tricky trying to open up the clips with a screwdriver to release the sensors with the bumper fitted and also the wiring is clipped. TBH would probably be more of a chew on trying to do it with the bumper on. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Yes, the new modules have round buttons.

Pleased it helped. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Have a look at my very first video, its called "intercom fault". More than likely the push button module worn. Sometimes some contact cleaner on the button contacts can fix it, but you may need to replace the button module. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@@HWrenMaintenanceServicesLTD yea the WD40 contact cleaner fixed 1 button but the other did nothing. Bugger. Question; if we change the intercom downstairs for a new one (for another brand) would the individual videx ones at the apartments need to be changed also? thank you!

The individual modules are still available from videx and dont cost too much. If everything else is working I would simply change the faulty module. With regards to the handsets, I'm not sure if they will be compatible. I actually have an old Legrand intercom to change for a new Videx system and I did wonder if the existing handsets would be compatible, however I am changing them anyway so it will all be a brand new system except for the wiring.

Used it for the first time on Sunday and it certainly worked well. At £15 an absolute bargain! Thanks for watching and the comment!

Thanks for watching and the comment, much appreciated!

There will be more to come, just sometimes struggle to get the time to video what I'm doing as well as the editing. Just not enough hours in the day! Thanks for watching and the comment.

Ha Ha, I like to make him work for his money!

I always wonder if these types of thing work or are even any good for the engine, but so far so good.

I know you mentioned this before. Maybe double check the notification bell thingy is clicked? Saying that, I dont get many notifications from channels I'm subscribed to either so I will have to double check. As always thanks for watching!

Pleased it helped and thanks for the comment!

Ha Ha Class! Pleased you enjoyed it Pal, maybe if I have nothing at all to do I will do a real time one, maybe painting some war hammer models or something interesting like that.

I am not familiar with the Elvox system, however I would guess the problem will be in the call panel next to the door as the buzzers in the hand sets very rarely fail especially all 6. If you look at my very first you tube video, this is a fault which appears to be the same as you describe, but on a Videx panel but may be of some help. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@HWrenMaintenanceServicesLTD thanks for the reply. It's just the buzzer which isn't working. Any idea where the buzzer sound on the outside intercom panel comes from, when you press the buttons? Thanks

Assuming this is similar to the Videx systems, there is a buzzer built inside each handset in the flats / apartments. The call panel at the front door then has a button / switch for each flat number. Pressing this button supplies voltage to the handset buzzer in the flat. These can sometimes be fixed by spraying the back of the button where the contacts are wit some contact cleaner spray. Just a thought, or were you referring to the buzzing which can be heard by the visitor (so they know the door is open) when you press the door open button on your handset in the flat? If so, that noise is actually produced by the electric lock release at the door. If thats the case it could be a faulty electric release or power supply to the electric release.

@@HWrenMaintenanceServicesLTD both, flat no buzz sound and no buzz sound to buttons of outside wall panel. Everything else seems to work.

TBH not sure what that would be. I know videx use a power supply with two outputs, one AC for the buzzer and door release and one DC for the speech. If its the same on your system and the AC side failed you would have speech but no door release but your release is working, strange. Its probably going to need a engineer to have a look at it, without actually seeing it its all guess work from me anyway. Sorry I cant be of any more help than that. When you get it sorted, let me know what it turned out to be.

You wont be disappointed, mines still going strong after 7 months or so of daily use! TBH I sometimes cant be bothered using the cover and have still used my old towel LOL, (thats if Im just nipping from the van and its a light shower) and the tape measure does sometimes get knocked off being on the inside as I thought it might, but thats the only minor issue. Thanks for watching and the comment.

The adjustment will work only if the diaphragm washer in the fill valve is in good condition. If this has worn, adjustment will not not fix the overflow problem. have a look at another one of my videos where I replace the diaphragm washer. ruclips.net/video/utTfxVb2PqE/видео.html Hopefully that will help! Thanks for watching and the comment.

@@HWrenMaintenanceServicesLTD thank you!

Yes it is. Very old around mid 80's but still going strong, it has had a the bigger 16HP V twin engine fitted to it. Thanks for watching and the comment!

All it says on the bottle is not to use if rain is likely. I would say it would definitely need to dry before it rains and ideally I wouldn't bother using it unless it was going to be dry for a good few hrs after, at least 5 or 6.

Probably rain related. I did have one where the microphone on the external call panel had water leak into it and failed. From memory I think it did still work slightly but extremely quiet / muffled. You might be lucky and may start working if it dries out.

Company haircuts ha ha! we actually go to the barbers now believe it or not, no more DIY workshop haircuts LOL. Aye much easier now the bushes and tress have been removed and a lot less leaves! New fence at back but the side one is about to fall down still.

What sort of van do you have? You will have to let me know if it works. good luck!

@@HWrenMaintenanceServicesLTD I have a Bedford

I have an account with JT Dove and pretty certain I bought it from them. I honestly cant remember what length it was but I know I had a few small scrap bits laying around which I used. I think it will probably have been a 25m coil I bought plus maybe 6 or 8m in scrap bits. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Pleased it helped. Thanks for watching and the comment!

I think I bought this one from The Shower Doctor through Amazon, but not 100% certain. I have put some info in the video description which will help you source one. Hope this helps.

Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment!

All but one of the blocks of flats I look after have the Videx 8000 series intercoms so I have only ever used this Videx handset with the those. I imagine they could possibly be used on other makes but have never needed to as yet so honestly not 100% sure.

The primer pump for the fuel filter is part of the van, so no need to buy anything else. Hope that helps.

Ha Ha, that vaseline has come in handy many times for various things! Thanks for watching and the comment.

Yes it could do with the handle being longer or adjustable. To be fair, mine is still going strong and does the job I need well, which is just trimming the edges of the lawn which aren't very long. I would called it a grass trimmer rather than a strimmer. Thanks for watching and the comment!

:))) I was right. And everytime the caller who reported the problem is NOT HOME so we can't test it with him !!!!!

One of my pet hates, making appointments and the customer not even being there. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@@HWrenMaintenanceServicesLTD years ago I got job to install 121 intercoms, biggest building in my town. Urmet, digital, three access door control units, with 27' TV integrated on external wall for nubmers and caller id names. Everything went well, but at the end there was ONE LAST IDIOT in that building that I couldn't get to change his speaker in his apartment. I had to postpone 1 month to write a check to get the whole money because of that man. waaaaa

Yes unfortunately there is the odd customer like that, touch wood I haven't had one for a while!

Pleased it helped! Thanks for watching and the comment.

Thanks for this info. Up to now there have been no issues with this one I installed, however it is only a guest room so probably only used a few times a month. Hopefully your replacement will last longer. Hope all goes well swapping it over.

@@HWrenMaintenanceServicesLTD 🤞

If linked to a pump, there will probably be hot and cold feed to the pump and then from the pump to the shower valve. Yes, isolate both of those at the pump then double check you have no water at the shower valve and you should be good to go. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Glad it helped, thanks for watching and the comment!

Glad it has been a help. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Those bricks weigh a fair bit! Even that little one in the video would be fairly heavy to move with the bricks in. The even bigger ones would probably weigh 150kg at a guess, certainly not light!

Just double check you have clicked for "all" on the notification bell thing on my channel. If thats still not working, not sure why? Having that armrest makes it feel far more comfy to drive around in. Thanks again for watching and the comment.

Tbh the cover is good, but I find sometimes I cant be bothered to unroll it so end up putting my towel over it like I always used to with my old bag. tools for us are defo like toys to kids! As always thanks for watching and the comments.

Yes, its one of those things that I use only a few times a year, but definitely it very handy.

Pleased it helped! thanks for watching and the comment.

I'm pleased it helped! Thanks for watching and the comment!

Yes I agree, the SON give out much nicer light. Unfortunately they are going to be unavailable in the near future so will be more LED. I changed these mainly to save on electric cost as ours went through the roof. At first I didn't like them but TBH got used to them now. Thanks for the comment!

Without seeing it, I cant advise for certain. Have you checked RCD in the fuse board as well as the Mcb? The only thing that springs to mind is that one of the lights may be faulty and tripped the RCD which will protect multiple circuits, hence affecting your sockets. Other than that, the lighting circuits should have no effect on you sockets.

I recently did a PAT test which had been done previously by a big testing company. I found 13A fuses in table lamps along with a few other small issues which proved they either didn't open the plug, or were not competent. (at a guess probably both hah ha). Thanks for watching and the comment!
