Changed a diverter valve (on a sime boiler) at 8pm last night.
BUT...as it was a right pain to physically get to, I removed the water pump.
Now....On re-filling the system one (or even 2) joints leak on the pump...and I mean leak...it pours!!
Ok...just new washers (maybe)...but on a Sunday?!
Tried B and Q etc but can only get leather washers that size...and to be honest they don't seem 'exactly' the right size. The old ones...one snapped in half and I've cut the other one off as I just thought I would replace today.
Basically my query is..can I use the leather washers?...or wait to Wednesday and buy (fibre) from a proper plumbers.
Wife not happy....WHY did I start this?!
Any help gladly appreciated.
