thanks for the reply. As i am not an expert i wouldnt trust myself to rethread a pipe. I could manage cutting a pipe but thats probably about it lol

Hi Looking to replace the bar valve and seperate riser rail for a new bar valve with fixed overhead shower and handset on our unvented system. The issue is ceiling height as we only have 94cm from top of current bar to the ceiling. First had a look at the aqualisa dual - it has threads...

actually,, sorry to clarify, do i put the string on first and then the ls-x? thanks

thanks fella, i have ordered some loctite 55 from fleabay (why does it seem out of stock most normal places) and will source some ls-x. i wish i had never touched the bloody thing lol (i am no handyman or plumber!) :oops:

Hi all, following my lack of hot water pressure and newly replaced nrv, i decided to update my bar mixer as the old one was looking rather tired. However, having had the thing on and off the wall about 5 times, i cannot get it to stop weeking completely. I have used lots of ptfe on the...

thanks guys, popped to toolstation this morning and got a new nrv for a few quid, fitted it myself (i am no handyman believe me!) and showering pleasure has been restored cheers

Thanks all, will pop out to get a new valve tomorrow. Its it just turn off water, drain cylinder by running hot taps, use spanner either side of valve and replace? Thank you

thats what i thought initially but dont think it can be mate,took the shower mixer off turned supply back on and its still dribbling out the HW....

Hi Something that has literally deveoped overnight. Ultrasteel unvented cylinder set up. Direct hot feed (literally 1metre) to bar shower mixer has low pressure when turning temp to wamer settings. Took bar mixer off and turned back on water supply - cold shoots across the cubicle but...

Hi croydoncorgi, do you cover cr2 6ep for powerflushing of my unvented system with vaillant thermo compact conventional boiler please? thanks Sunil

Hi We have yellow render on the outside of our townhouse. Where the external gutter has overflowed (now clear!), the water has caused the finsih to become blacker and duller. Is a fungicidal wash likely be able to bring the colour back or is it a lost cause? thanks Sunil

well got the heating working now, after juggling a lone brown wire lol thanks for the input yep joining 3 to 1 didnt work, just shorted the fuse box lol :oops:

ok thanks, so i should just remove the additional wiring for the scr then to allow the honeywell to take full control? what is a god make of wireless thermostat to replace the drayton please?

lol thanks sorry the honeywell is just a timer and the drayton was added as a thermostat & more timer options so the drayton scr just takes over the heating part with the honeywell set to "cont" am i better off doing this instead? http://www.howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=370311 thanks

Hi We have a drayton +rf3 wireless set up. Have woken up this morning to a colder house as the heating hasnt come on. Looking at the thermostat, looks ok with flame on but no lights on SCR - not even a red one. Tried hitting override button and the unit buzzed loudly and green light came...

Guys and Gals Sorry but i have to revive this Right, the pressure on the expansion vessel was checked and slightly reduced so now spot on 3 bar with an accurate gauge. The knocking sound is still there but more often occurs when 1) the hot water heating is on at the time 2) If the...

thanks, the manual says 3.0bar i will leave it alone and ask for it to be looked at when the tank is serviced (hint simond!) however one thing i noticed just now, the vessel is wall mounted on a metal bracket with braided hose down to piepwork. Whilst the bracket screwed into the wall...

thank you, how do i go about adjusting this. is it turn off mains stopcock in kicthecn cupboard open lowest level taps until no water flow pump/adjust schrader valve close taps, turn on stopcock slowly it says set to 3.0 bar on the vessel, will try to dig out instructions or fine...

Hi thanks for the useful feedback. Yes it was the zilmet 18l external expansion vessel that was changed. Probably the pipes are not bolted down properly as this darn dodgy builders in this 2003 house have cocked all sorts up. However as the knocking was not there before the prv and...

am i allowed to bump this please?
