spot on. only just got the time to do this now and the main exit drain at the front of the house is backed up, nearly all the way. hopefully caught in in time... Man on the way. Thanks!

Recently (in the last few days) the drain of my bath has started to 'bubble' occasionally. This mainly seems to happen at night when we are in bed and no one or nothing is moving in the house. The bubbling is a single bubble every 5 - 10 secs for about a minute. Then it stops. Its not happened...

Thanks guys. I'll try cleaning the crud out and see if I can stop the leak.

Hi, I have a Vokera SP80, that has developed a leak. The leak is on the top of a metal cylinder at the top and back of the pump, outlined in this picture: There seems to be a lot of crustyness on the top of this cylinder. There is a little plastic cap thingy on it, a bit like the cap...

Thanks DP. I'm in Hove, and the Vokera Specialists Sussex Gas came to do the service in Oct last year. Doesn't sound like the pressure issue is anything that I can tackle my self so think I'll be getting them back to have a look at that & see what can be done about the other stuff at the same...

Hi I've got several problems with my boiler. 1. It loses pressure 2. The pilot light keeps going out 3. The hot water doesn't get very hot and 'cycles' cool and warm. It has always lost pressure as long as we've had it, but we have not been able to find any obvious leak anywhere and...

Hi, My dishwasher stopped working, and wouldn't fill with water, just sitting there doing nothing. I read a few posts about this problem with other dishwashers, and tried various solutions like tipping to drain and reset flood protection float etc. This didn't work. After some further...

It's an excell sp80

Hi, Last night my vokera boiler stopped producing hot water. I opened it up and noticed that when the hot water was turned on the activatvation arm (?) was not being pushed out as it should be. I was able to coax it to come out by pulling on it, but it was very stiff to move. When out the...

Thanks Drivewasher, Set it up last night and have done two washes with no issues.

Thanks for the reply drivewasher. Will it be enough to make sure that the 'bend' in the outlet pipe is higher up (currently it's about 1/3 of the way up the machine) or does the end itself have to be higher? Currently it drains straight into the main drain, so the end will have to stay lower...

Hi, My washing machine (an Indesit WN850WG) has started playing up recently. I have moved it and now it only has a cold water supply (previously it had had both hot and cold). Now occasionally (although it's getting more frequent) it just stops and just rinses continuously. Water seems to...

Thanks for the reply Nige. Does that mean that it doesn't make any difference if I open the taps or not, or should i do that anyway? Sam
