OK so rhetorical question and a lead in to a self congratulatory piece:-)
If it isn't general knowledge, the drive motors for Honeywell 2 and 3 port valves are identical and don't seem to have changed in the last 20 years! Being an inveterate Squirrel I happened to have one from the R. Cottage strip out.
Happy Christmas to all.
Something I only found out myself a few years ago!
Merry Christmas
Is it a successor to the millennium bug?
Why do TV's and washing machines fail 5 days after the extended warranty has expired. ?.
precision manufacture?
I was given a hairdryer for my 21st birthday and it lasted 35 years. Does this meet the durability test?
Another thing worth knowing, is that you don't need to pay £30 for the genuine synchron motor, the pattern ones are fine, and cost less than £10.
I think if I had been given one for my 21st it would last pretty much indefinitely, or at least until it rotted away. ;-)
Didn't know men were actually allowed to use them...

I'm running our bungalow on electric oil filled rads and a 10kW (ish) instant water heater plumbed in.
When I get CH fitted next year, I'm keeping the electric water heater, on valves, with valves to isolated the boiler.
Filling a bath in 30 minutes at 2-3 times the cost of gas is better than nothing at all :)
The oil rads will be popped in the attic too, or deployed in a shed.
Hair dryers were very useful for students in halls where fan heaters weren't allowed.

They're very useful for heat-shrink sleeving and softening butter straight from the fridge (in the days before microwaves)

Student flatmate was a bit weird. Didn't bother with towels, just dried off using his hair dryer and swallowed his toothpaste.
Was a veggie as well, and as far right as barking ...
Our 3-port valve didn't know what the date was - it had to be replaced at the end of September!
You still have hair at age 56 ?. This is the mark of durability.
Or was this football 'hairdryer' ?.

any hairdresser would only charge me a search fee.
You're using a level. That's not allowed for a pro. You're supposed to place them randomly :)
