Yes. Thanks for your help.

Can they be lubed with any success? I know you are duty bound to tell me to leave it but i'm more than competent to replace it if need be and seal the cover correctly.

Hi, When my boiler fires up it makes a noisy whirring sound, seems to be coming from the top of the boiler so it can only be the fan im thinking? Is there anything I can do to make it less noisy or do I just need to replace it?

Who cares who did it it's exactly what I need to do :lol:

My new towel radiator sticks out quite far from the wall and i cant get my plastic pipes to reach. Can you get different valves which bend back towards the wall which then will allow me to push the plastic pipes into the compression fitting?

Just phoned supplier and they said that the toilet does have a low level that's just how theu come now. The cistern not filling properly is because of a limescale filter which I have been advised to remove as up here in scotland we have clean enough water not to need it.

Ok so if I was to have the flexi go up at a slight angle when it comes out the toilet should that help rise the water level in the bowl.

Ok i will give that a go. I did replace the waste pipe coming out the wall with a flexi to make it easier to install. This shouldn't matter should it?

I did think that but it just seems very low. I heard that maybe a blocked drain could cause the level to drop. The cistern only seems to fill half way up also, could this have a bearing on bowl level?

Just fitted my new toilet and I feel that the water level in the bowl is too low. There seems to be a rim in the bowl that the water level should rise to but it is well below this line. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help mate. It will look so much better without the overflow pipe so its going.

Just about to fit my new toilet in my new bathroom and noticed that there is no overflow coming off the cistern. Does this mean it has an internal overflow that goes into the bowl? Can I just remove overflow pipe from wall and cover over the hole?

Thanks for the advice guys. I need to connect my electric shower to the water supply also.I take it even though its a plastic inlet you don't need to put any kind of insert in it the same as you would with plastic pipe?

I can only seem to get brass olives in my area but I have been told that for plastic pipe you need to use copper olives for compression fittings. If using metal inserts in the pipe I cant see why brass won't do, can anyone clarify?

ok im a bit concerned. just spoke to guy next door who has lived there from it was built and he was told that if he wants two showers one must come off the hot water supply as two electric are a no no. Why the hell do I have two? They have never run at the same time since we have lived there...
