In March 2011 I created a blog post about the Boiler Scrapage Scheme and to give it a bit of presence I did a quick Google Image search and grabbed an image of a man working on a central heating boiler that took my fancy. I don't remember where the image came from I just downloaded it from Google's results page and uploaded it my blog. Big mistake. Little did I know it was a licensable image. Well I wouldn't know, I didn't check, and that was my mistake.

Cause:

The brew head gasket has developed a leak and/or the brew head has become clogged up.

Issue:

Dualit has run out of spares for this model!

DrayTek 2820n TFTP firmware problem

It turned out Windows 7 was blocking them and I had to turn off 'User Access/Account Control' (UAC). Here is how I did that:-
