I decided to bleed the pump on my Groundfos system and rather cleverly dropped the bleed screw which is now burried beneath my house several feet. :evil:
Have tried diy stores and local plumb centre to no avail. anyone know where / who stocks groundfoss bleed screws as pump is now leaking and need to fix it before house floods......

deffo the scrapyard then, much quicker.
 
ask the local litter picker if you can borrow his long litter picking thingy.
 
Extending magnet as per previous suggestion, but noting Kevs observation, stick a lump of blu tack on the end. Extending magnets commonly available on cheap tool stalls at local market, £1 a throw, various lengths.

Probably available from Halfords, £5 at throw. Will also do long claw grab thingy.

If you're near a q&b, they often have pumps on display, screwed to a board. Sometimes, the screws fall off these. :oops:
 
Thanks very much, thats a great help, so far we've tried sawing the floorboard up, magnets, and swearing non of which seemed to have helped much, and presently have it blocked with a cork as some jammy git already has picked up the fallen off screws at local store... :LOL: ...
have emailed you.

But before they fall off you may need to borrow a srewdriver from the tools section :LOL:
 
Now theres an idea for something for me to sell on ebay along with an air guitar and this corned beef tin key that I have had hanging around for so long
