Thanks. I have just purchased a new stopcock.They only had 22mil or 15mil. I have bought a 22mil with a reducer to 15 mil. I think that's what is on there now. I will see if I can turn off the water outside tonight. I know where the outside pavement stopcock is, but I haven't tried to open it...

Morning all. My stopcock tap is leaking, a drip not a flow. This appears to be coming from one connection back from the stem of the tap. I'm asking what my options are. There is a 22mil blue plastic pipe from the mains, and a 15mil copper pipe on the upside of the the tap. Am I allowed to turn...

ArtfulBodger, I'm not sure what he's done yet. He's fitting today/tomorrow and I'm still at work so haven't got home to see the mess. The honeyweel CM67 Rf receiver does require a 230v supply I beleive, so that maybe the problem. I hadn't really thought about why it might need a 230v supply.

I've just had a Potterton Gold 24 boiler fitted, and I've purchased a Honeywell CM67 wireless thermostat to use with it. The fitter has said he can't use it as the Gold 24 has a built in clock and this thermostat is a controller not just a thermostat. He says he has phoned Potterton and they...
