No sorry, I had a guy come and do the work for me. He's come back twice but can't seem to work out what's going on! All I can say is that the pipes are 22mm and run from the attic down into the en-suite. We did not have any problems with the previous shower and the only difference now is that...

I posted before, but couldn't really get to the bottom of the issue! We have a gravity fed shower in our en-suite and recently changed it when we had the en-suite renewed. We put a mixer tap on the shower but after using it a few times, whenever we turn the mixer to hot, it stops working...

I have a Mk1 Granada I am starting to restore. I have never tried this sort of thing before, so I thought I'd have a go! The wheels need to have a 5 stud pattern to fit, so I bought a set off ebay. Being naive, I figured that all 5 stud patterns are the same, but obviously they are not...

Air trap seems the most likely I think. Excuse my ignorance but what's the best way to get rid of the air?

Thanks for all the replies. I'm not sure if the cold water is mains or tank, I will try and find out. The shower head is fixed to the wall so I am unable to adjust the height. The head is above the level of the tank though. We thought it was simply crap stuck in the pipes, but even after...

I have recently updated my mixer shower. It ran off 2 x 22mm pipes with a conventional shower hose and head. The 22mm pipes now run into a 15mm mixer tap, with piping fed behind the shower wall up to a monsoon style shower head but for some reason I have no hot water pressure. It's gravity fed...

Cheers everyone, much obliged.

Thanks a lot. What is 'nipping up' though?

oooh, could be! I originally bought 12mm fittings which were too small, so the only other option I could see was 15mm which was too big. I couldn't see any other sizes in B & Q, I didn't realise there were 1/2 inch sizes too. That would seem to make sense though. When you put the nut...

Where would be the best place to get the fittings from do you think?

With a spanner. Got the fixings from B&Q?

Before I start, I would like to say that I'm a bit of a novice with this!! I need to extend some pipework for a wash hand basin. I believe the existing pipes are 15mm, so I bought more of that, plus various compression fittings to allow me to do the job. Even though the new pipe and all...

Hi, I've no idea on the model as I'm not at home. There is definitely hot water though, it's just the heating that's out.

Ideal Elan 2. As I say, it was fine yesterday before I cut off the supply and can't work out why it won't work now.

I have just cut off the water supply to remove the sink and toilet from my ensuite. I have turned the water back on but the heating is not working. The boiler kicks into life for about a minute, then turns itself off and the radiators are stone cold. The boiler has recently been serviced and...
