A bit off topic as I have _NO_ intention of "diy" anything to the gas meter! But wondering if the group might have some experience in these matters ...
I just happened to be looking at the gas meter (a mechanical "digital" one as ooposed to multiple clock dials) with central heating and oven both alight, it makes a few graunchy noises but not too bad, then I looked at the "sweep cu. ft" hand and noticed that it doesn't sweep round smoothly the whole way round, but slows down and then jerks forward, never actually stops as such though.
I was going to say it wasn't *that* long since it was changed, but on inspection of the sticker it was back in 1997, but assume it's got several years before it'll get changed again?
Is this normal? could it be mis-reading?
