He said he could quite understand what we had been going through as he had tried one himself through AOL. Thanks to him, the young man said he didn't know that, and promptly credited my card. He said the best route for me, was to actually go through aol and they would send me a router with a disc and it would be relatively easy! I will letyou know on that one when I've ordered one, but for the time being we're back to how we were, which I'm happy with!

I have a disk with it too of course. He said they have sold 100's of this type and never had one back, whereas the Belko's he had fitted both caught fire within a week!!!
and yet this was CHEAP, only £38.99??? Very cheap I thought!I want to have a go and do it myself as Dave has gone off to Dorset today for an engine, and I'm much better doing stuff like this on my own, but just wanted to ask you please if this is all that I do with it, what this man told me? Is itreally as simple as that then??? Thanks guys.
OMG, we bought one of those 2 weeks ago... I hope they have revised this issue as I've noticed ours gets a tad hot
Sorry to go off topic, but that has worried me a tad...Helena, glad to see you are getting sorted
its a pity the bloke in the shop didn't tell you this beforehand...(we were sold one that wasn't compatible with our system too)

I've just felt it, and it is warm rather than hot, but still a bit worrying.. I suppose if it was going to catch fire, it would have done so by now since its never been turned off in a fortnight..

I have had mine over a year now and I am really pleased with it but I can't say that it ever gets hot -just ever so slightly warm. I never turn mine off either - its been on ever since I got it in August last year.
