    Re - replacing the broken mechanism -- they come in various offset sizes eg 20mm, 22m and its often a bit tricky to work out exactly which size you need

    Also as a first step, check if the handle is actually connected properly ie if the handle lever is really floppy and easy to move, it could be the square shaft connecting it to the mechanism has slipped out. (found that out the hard way after 30 minutes of stripping down the system to find everyting else was ok).

  • @stephencole9289
    @stephencole9289 18 днів тому

    Thats a good technique. I was going to post a video of another way where you have to remove the triangular beading and then drill a 6mm hold at the right place (close to where your method finds the stuck catch), and then use a screwdriver through the hole to get to behind the latch and can usually lever it up (theres usually a stub or rivit head you can lever up) (look at a working window to see approx where that rivit etc is)

    1. Setting Up the Loop: - Connect the cable to the R connector of the station. - Lay the cable from the back garden to the front garden. - Ensure the cable returns to the L connector of the station, forming a complete loop. - Connect the guide wire from the middle connector of the station to any point on the loop. 2. Mowing the Secondary Area: - Use the app to select the option to mow the secondary area until further notice. - Once the mower starts moving away from the station, press the stop button on the machine. - Carry the mower to the front garden. - Place the mower down and press both the play and middle buttons. - The mower will start mowing the front garden until the battery is dead, then take it back to the station to charge. Note: My front and back garden is separated by a slab path, I buried the cables next to the slab edge), so I have to carry the machine to the front garden and do the job, If your front and back gardens were connected by a small lawn, the mower would be able to mow the entire area on its own without needing to be carried. I hope this long instruction can help you.

    Hello Darren I followed your video on UA-cam and it was great. We have the same model as yours. We have wired the from garden up but are having trouble getting it to work. Would you mind letting me know how you cut the front lawn and what instructions you have to have, to get it to work. Many thanks in advance. Best regards Rosalind Wodhams

    I set my 1200R up 3 years ago and it's well worth the initial effort, now I just watch it do the work !! I did it pretty much the same as you, carrying the loop down the gravelled side of the house to the front and then separating again. My chap is still going strong at 1200hrs, would recommend these to everybody. I will say that where the lawn meets a flush flag, put the boundary wire much closer to the lawn edge, the mower will cut right over the edge in these places, less to tidy with a strimmer. But yes, great video.

    • @darrenchan6248
      @darrenchan6248 2 місяці тому

      Yes, you’re right, it cuts much closer to the edges in my front garden. However, in my back garden, the machine keeps hitting the fence boundary and leaves about a 20 cm edge uncut. I have to use a trimmer to tidy up the edges. It’s a bit annoying, but it still saves me a lot of time, so I have no complaints. I’ve heard that the new model has the ability to cut the grass right to the edges. Maybe I’ll update mine once it wears out.

    • @phutumsch
      @phutumsch 2 місяці тому

      @@darrenchan6248 Using the trimmer once every few weeks is no bother at all, I'm just the same, it bumps in places, I've to turn the trimmer anyway to trim the edges. I've no intention to upgrade because I'm pretty sure the trimmer will be needed somewhere anyway. I'm sometimes mowing at 10pm or in the dark, the little chap cannot be heard. Wouldn't be without mine, in fact I have 2 more brand new in boxes !!!

      It’s not difficult, there are few screws on the bottom of the lock mechanism, remove them, replace with the new lock mechanism, if the holes are not matching, drill the new small holes first, it will make it easier to screw the metal plate. It’s easier from outside, or do it from inside with a mirror to help you 👌

    I am facing the exact same issue however it's only when the heating is turned on. F2 fault appears and disappears causing the burner to turn on and off. But my hot water is working perfectly fine from the taps and the burner runs fine when taps are opened. I have checked and cleaned the flue, the injector, then condensation container. Really banging my head around to what this could be.

My rear door was never wired up as the garden was closed off,, but now i can access my garden via the path so i wish to add the rear door to the panel. Was thinking of running it to zone 1 where the front door is and wiring it in series. as the cable is already now in the box. Wondered what you thoughts are? Kind regards.

      @@darrenchan6248 Conduit on the outside could be done differently to look neater, the cable stripping and termination could be done neater and the trunking you have on the wall inside looks untidy. I personally would of reassessed possible cable routing and done it different. The conduit going into bottom of outside socket should of had a threaded adaptor to fix to the backbox and not just pushed through the a hole drilled in the socket. I will give you that for trying but in future i would try neaten things up a bit and assess the cable routing thoroughly before starting the job.
