anyone know how to get the drive pulley off - I am trying to change the rear roller, but can't get past this stage? any thoughts REALLY appreciated!

thanks all for advice - now working again/think a loose connection to the PIR after some redecorating 12 months ago anyway it's fixed! thanks again A

I have a 9448 installed roughly 15 years ago - recently one PIR has started to glow red continuously Can I simply replace the PIR with a new one (no obvious spiders etc infront of sensor) without opening the box? or is there likely to be another fault I do not have the service manual only the...

have an area of about 8ftx2ft to cover - would the alu paint be the best option?

you're a star - just what I was looking for/thanks+ Andrew

I have a understairs cupboard which has the walls painted with synthaproof + I'd like to paint over with a grey oil based floor paint. Is there a way of preparing the synthaproof/bitumen to stop it leaching through into the floor paint? would a coat of pva do or is there anything better...

I have 2 stud walls made of 18mm wbp ply for the new shower. It has been suggested to me that I coat the bottom edge/back of these stud walls with cementone SBR before fitting to the tray - I was planning to lay these bottom edges on a bead of silicone (between the tray and the ply). will the...

does liquid ptfe work better than tape - I am concerned there may be some leakage around the spigot in the bsp female fitting/would liquid be a better bet?

can any one help? I am putting in an aqualisa quartz with fixed head - 3 questions.... I have run 15mm copper from the pump to the recommended 1/2in bsp female fitting which is secured to the wall - do I need to wrap the spigot (used to mate up to the shower head) threads with PTFE tape to...

"sit on a breeze block" - the pump that is!

given it's a warix flange, is that good enough for the hot feed to the new shower pump (1m away via 15mm copper)? another question - there isn't a separate cold feed from the loft cold tank; given this seems to be a good idea (?) do folk recommend putting in a 22mm cold feed all the way from the...
