Gee Terry, did i say that, very sorry, thanks for your continued help, coping with my slowness in picking things up. Good News, my Plumber has just got in touch with me, he is coming to do both jobs soon !!!!, phew :) tim

Ha my mistake, i thought that was called a Water Tank !!!!, gawd, gimme a brain and i be dangerous LOL. Tim

OK Pete thanks for that, now you mention the cistern ?? where is that ? and i didnt know the hot water would/could be affected :) Tim

Hi Terry, just when i thought i was beginning to understand what i have to do, you inadvertently confused me more by adding the second line in the post above ???? LOL. I dont understand a word of it LOL. I aint doing anything to the hot water ? Tim

Thanks buddy, but dont you mean turn off the mains AND drain the tank ??? Tim

thanks terry. your last line seems favourite . yeah the crap stop cock is on the rising main. I havent any extra valves near the the stop cock, the only part of the airing cupboard that is up to date, is on Central Heating side like the 3 way valve and the pump they have both got valves...

Sorry about that chaps, i had omitted to ask for notifications. I was hoping to do this on the cheap, WITHOUT getting a plumber in, the Stop Cock is most definitely Stuck solid, dam. so i wont be in a position to do it by the book and put extra valves in here and there, all i want to do...

Hi again lads and lasses, following on from another post of mine, i have now got a new pair of cartridges for my bath taps .... So far so good eh However, No Way can i turn off the stop cock in the airing cupboard, it only turns barely a quarter of turn and that is with great effort, it feels...

Howdy friends, hey how did you know i had a bald head ?? LOL Seriously now, i have just had another look at my problem tap and i noticed it was bit rattly and i just pulled it upwards and it came off with the little allen screw rattling around in the bath, not going down the plug hole...

OK lads, i take on board what you are both saying about replacing the taps as the best option. BUT you can see in the picture, the little plug i am referring to, is it possible to remove it, would i have to destroy it to remove it and would i find a screw to undo when i do remove it ??? Tim

I was dreading a reply like that, because the side of the bath from where i have to get access to the Tap nuts is all tiled !!!!!!, and it is right next door to the WC !!!. I DO KNOW that when i did tile the side of the bath, i did make an access panel that was 3 tiles wide and 1 tile high...

My missus who suffers from arthritis has just started to complain about the cold bath tap being too stiff to turn, it is a ceramic disc quarter turn type made by BRISTAN Si thought Easy to fix, get some new handles/levers with more leverage. So i go to unscrew the handle retaining screw and...

OK Nige F, thanks for that info, i shall have to try my local Jewsons first thing monday, i hate going there, it always seems that serving customers is the last dammed thing they go there for, they chat with each other all the time. tim

hi all, it is me, back again. about a month ago i thought i had a banging noise in my airing cupboard, well, i was wrong. the noise is in my Loft and it IS coming from the Cold Water tank, i got up in the loft to do something else, why have lofts got so much crap in them ?, i thought i...

OK thanks Lads, very good of you both to offer the advice i was asking for, i feel a bit happier about it now. yeah i did think that the cheaper speakers were easier to drive, so to speak, but the opposite is true, thanks. BTW, it hasnt got a line input socket. it simply has headphone and...

Hi chaps, for a long time now i have had a fairly powerful Sony hi fi, which has been connected up to a Switch which enables me to control 2 pairs of decent speakers, eg, 2 on, 4 on, the other 2 on. However the Sony HiFi has just died, the CD Changer got all jammed up, so looking for another...

hi chaps, you are far ahead of me, i have managed to put the pump speed to 2 (out of 3), thanks. but as for a BYPASS VALVE, have i got one ?, dammed if i know, i wouldnt know what one of those look like, if you give me a bit of time i will take a picture of the problem area, namely the pump...

BLOODY HELL, THAT IS SIMPLY AWFULL !!!!!! tim
