My son’s moving into a rented flat that has a mira minimal erd fitted. He’s 6’2” and when stood under the drencher his head touches it. Apart from smashing the tiles to lift the shower valve is there another solution to this ? P.S. there’s at least 4” between the drench pipe and the ceilin. cheers.

Do they do them in red ? :lol:

I have a mira select shower in a cubicle right next to cylinder cupboard but the pressure is rubbish, i plan to fit a pump and surrey flange in the cylinder cupboard. Would it be ok to take two tees off the pump to another shower in another bathroom (pipes would go into the loft and back down to...

Are they Fit They used to be :cry:

I'm having trouble with birds in my chimney, can i just fit a bird grill to the pot or do i need to fit a cowl. Its an inset gas fire.

Sorted now, stripped pump and spun the impellor, put back together and ok. After all the palaver it is actually a grunfos 15/50, Tony a pump tool is basically a screwdriver on one end and a long allen key the other, see ebay. Thanks lads.

Possibly, i'm not there till 12 so i'll check. Thanks for all input, much appreciated.

Vokera linea 726 (product No R10020437) I haven't checked to see if another make of pump will fit but at that price i'll definitely be trying

£133 for a pump for this boiler online :shock:

Thanks for the advice (English language also). Agile, i removed the bleed screw and used a screwdriver to turn the impeller and it looked and felt like it span (spun) but obviously it didn't, ive tried all local merchants this morning and none of them carry pump tools so i will try your suggestion.

I only used a screwdriver to try to free it (i'll buy a pump tool tomorrow) but its solid. There could still be air in but until i get the pump running i dont really know.

Just moved house, its been empty for a year and a half. Water was off and heating drained (vokera linea) Anyway, added x100, filled rads and turned on power, all was well for 30 secs then locked out (overheat) Pretty sure its a sticking pump (i thought it span when i turned and bled pump) any...

We had an outside wall rendered last summer(25ft x 12ft), after about 6 months it started coming away at the top, now its flaking even more, the guy who did it cant be contacted so i'm going to have a go repairing it myself. What kind of plaster/sand etc do i need and how do you seal the top of...

Why's that then ? Can you use x100 ?

Cheers Chris, the reason i was asking is my aunt has BG 3 star cover and they came out the other day and said these parts were faulty and no longer available, They then turned gas off to boiler. Odd thing is they didn't try to sell her a new one. Thanks again.
