Sorry Dan !!! So many replies. Anyhow, I have been away for a few days and on my return the valve seems to have stopped leaking of its own accord and the system is now holding pressure. Thanks to everyone for your replies.

If want to do this ?? :shock: Read your own post again !!!!

"BODGE" !!! Who me ???? :roll: Point taken. How difficult is it to change then ?? I am an engineer myself, so not a complete "spare part" when it comes to tools, etc. Although, I am an electronic/radio engineer not a CH engineer !!!! Quick question, before I have to go and spend my...

Hi Tony, I have managed to figure this out. Still no difference !!! Can the seal be replaced, or do I need a complete new valve ? How much do these typically cost ?? I am sure with a little bit of help I can change this. I am guessing I need to vent off all the pressure, possibly...

Thanks for the replies. Yes the vent pipe is dripping or rather there is a constant stream of water coming out. How do I fix it, if possible ?? Do I need any replacement parts or is this a straight forward fix ? Cheers. Tony, How/where do I "rotate the knob" ?

I have been recently doing a lot of work on my house which involved temporary removing three out of 8 rads, two upstairs, one down. (skimming walls). They were off for a couple of months and I have recently remounted and reconnected them. During the period they were off I noticed the CH...

No problem. Thanks. Fair point. I also jay walk regularly and I may have dropped a fag butt on the odd occasion, I will hand myself in tomorrow !!!! Er, no it is not. If going a few miles over the limit is so bad, then why not fine everyone £1000 and an instant ban ? The fixed...

My apologies, your right Softarse its 14 days !!! As for breaking the law and then finding loopholes. It's only a loophole because one side is not acting correctly and observing ALL the rules. Its not about costing the country millions of pounds, its about this useless government...

A lot of nonsense is being said here. The police have 15 days to issue a NIP to the registered keeper of the vehicle (your company). They CANNOT pass this directly to you, they must state who was driving and then send it back to the police within 28 days. If they refuse, they will be...

DITTO, did this when I was a kid !!! Lucky to still be here since I actually pushed the plug in with the palm of my hand .

Students are expendable !!!! and anyhow, whats 30A down wet hands between friends !!! :shock:

Thanks mate. I knew you would say that !!! Now where did I leave that cheque book :cry:

Hi people, Recently moved into a 1930's house and have stripped out some built in shelving in an alcove to find the bottom corner against the chimney breast is completely damp through, from the floor upto about 2ft high and covering the whole side and a bit on the front of the breasting...

There is no tank ?? and no the pipes aren't loose !!! This noise is so loud you can hear it from the street outside ! I have tried pinpointing it but no luck. Does anyone know how to wire in a analogue room thermostat to this boiler ? The docs with the stat say it is a 3 wire set up, but...

Hi, I have recently bought a new house which has the above boiler fitted. It has a gravity fed shower (I think !!) The non electric type !! Every time someone has a shower we get a nasty hammer through the pipes ?? If I run the cold water in the bathroom it doesn't happen. Anyone help...
