Thanks Andy, may look into that. Can you replace a shower unit with little plumbing knowledge etc as unsure if I'd need it to be done professionally? If I were to replace the solenoid valve just in the interim it doesn't look too daunting. I can see 2nd hand ones going for more than aftermarket...

Thanks, I did wonder about that as I was thinking water shouldn't be going into the hose and head once shut off from the main unit. It's a Triton t80i, I'm hoping I can still locate the manual in a cave painting somewhere :)

Hi all, I've tried looking this up but worry a lot of results are related to tap showers. I have an old electric shower and noticed the last few nights a drip about every 15 seconds. The shower head is up in the holder above the height of the unit. I have had to lie it down in the bath so I...

Thanks opps, really appreciate you looking those up for me. I did think it would be something more specialised, similar to ones used in laptops and other similar devices. Makes sense they would be on a model website. That does look like a match, £3 for 10 with delivery seems quite good as...

Thanks flameport, I would say that would probably be the right length. I was probably confusing them with something else but when I think about it the holes they go into in the back panel are quite deep (the screws are deep into the holes then go into the front part of the device. As it's...

Hi CBW, thanks for the reply. It's for an Awair Air Monitor 2nd edition. I had it repaired once before when a sensor stopped functioning correctly and had to send it away to Los Angeles which caused a nightmare with import duty charges and also it's a good few years out of warranty now so have...

Hi all, Please can someone help, I dismantled something and during a tidy up at some point they went missing. The manufacturer has kindly told me what screws I need but I'm having trouble finding them from the details given: Screw PH T2 M2.6*8L (Head Size＝4.3mm, Black) It's a US based company...

Hi all, Please can I check on the best course of action for this. The button has started getting stuck down and have had to release it by unscrewing it from the cistern lid. I bought the toilet from Focus in 2008 and have removed the button where there is a fair deal of green corrosion on it...

Hi all, I replaced my tap cartridges a couple of years ago due to a dripping issue. Recently the hot tap lost traction on the cartridge and started slipping and now won't turn the cartridge at all so have to use pliers. I can't find a match anywhere for the tap head as it is older than 2005...

Thanks conny

Thanks both, I think it would be easier if it wasnt half along the patio and half in the border so lifting the left side more. Not really many precious plants so did consider something solid to put the right feet of the ladder on but still may sink on that side. Shortage of wood and screws to...

Hi all, Hoping for a bit of help please as I can't seem to find a method that's safe! I need to drop a new fence panel in and have tried with a 4 step step ladder and also just got the loft ladder down which doesn't seem amazingly stable. We are trying a technique using string handles but...
