After being unable to get at the drinking water cartridge on my three way tap I've bought a dedicated tap. However connecting it is proving tricky. The first one I bought came with two quick fit push connectors. One was 1/4" to 1/4" which the hose wouldn't fit into. It fit into the 1/4" to 3/8"...

Hi, I have one of these and the drinking water tap has started to leak (the side not shown in the video). I can't work out how to get at that cartridge. The handle can be unscrewed which gives partial site of some brass (probably the shaft of the cartridge) but the head seems solidly attached...

I have a four year old fridge/freezer that's working fine but there's rust on one side near the bottom. Not just spots but obvious corrosion and lost metal. Does this have any significance beyond the cosmetic aspect? There doesn't appear to be anything leaking and I think it's just where some...

Over the last couple of weeks there have been a couple of days when my hot water cylinder didn't get heated in the morning. My central heating is working fine however. I've been investigating it and have found something puzzling. When I first moved into this house over 20 years ago I replaced...

I have an Intergas boiler that supports OpenTherm and currently a 7-day digital thermostat (Honeywell CM67). The thermostat is getting long in the tooth so I'm thinking about replacing it with a T4M which is OpenTherm. I've had a look at the wiring on the control panel and discovered that at...

Hi. How difficult would it be to replace a Honeywell CM67 with a CM707? From the installation guides it appears that the wiring should be the same - just move the wires across to the same lettered terminals. I don't mind paying for an electrician if I have to but assuming that Honeywell...

I use an extension (2.5m) hose for my dishwasher and for the past few months I've battling with the damn' thing to get both ends watertight. I've read up on all the does and don'ts and replaced the hose to no avail until recently. I've currently got it set up where each end has an extra washer...

System: Y-plan. Gas CH. Over 20 years old, boiler over 10 years. I've noticed for the past couple of weeks that my system (possibly the boiler, but it's hard to know) is making a whining noise at times. It's hard to pin down but at the moment the heating isn't being called on so it's purely...

For the past year or so I've been subjected to gurgling from my bedroom radiator and from the airing cupboard. The gurgling only occurs when the system first comes on and after fifteen minutes or so the only sound is the pump running. Usually it's just when the heating is on but this morning it...
