I have a 760x760 shower tray that I want to replace with a 760x1000 shower tray up stairs. Will I have to get a riser kit as well or can I make use of the existing one?

Hi again, haven't put the Rayburn back together yet but I have found that the boiler was leaking after all through the welded seams when it was under pressure, I'm glad I checked it again. Luckily through a friend of a friend I had one made from stainless steel for £200 which is a lot cheaper...

Will do and I'll try and remember to let you know what happens when I get round to doing it, might not be for a few weeks yet. For now though thanks again for your time and all your help you've made life just that little bit easier :)

Okay cool. Good question, I cleaned the flue recently through the access panel too with some rods and brush attached to a drill and although there was carbon and soot build up it appeared dry, of course I renewed the fire gasket as well when I had finished. I also checked outside and visually...

Oh yes that's right it was stainless steel. I will have to try and rig up something better then to test it as to get more pressure and maybe spray some soapy water over it and look for bubbles. And yes it is indeed a gravity circulation only type heating with one small radiator in the bathroom...

Thank you for that info. I managed to get the whole top off with your help and eventually with a struggle I got the boiler out. On inspection and pressurising the boiler as best as I could with a hose pipe and blocking the outlet it appeared to be fine and given the type metal there was no way...

I have a gravity fed Rayburn 308k model with a back boiler that appears to be leaking water as the base of the Rayburn is very wet and rusty. It's not coming from the fittings on the outside so it must be the internal tank. I cannot see how to get to it though, some models appear to have a side...

Sorry I missed this. Yes I suppose it could have been converted to oil. I will have another look as you suggested, if I ever do find out I’ll let you know… Thanks again by the way :-)

No it’s a round burner…

I should have said it is just a gravity fed oil fed Rayburn with twin wicks and at a pure guess I think it's 1980s. It looks a lot like this one I pulled from the web...

Sorry only just seen this reply thanks. Not sure as there isn't anything else to go by. I did manage to get a photo of the actual part though...

Sorry to be a little bit vague but I was cleaning my uncles oil fed rayburn the other day but cannot find where a angled bit of thin plate about 20cm long goes, I noticed it had fallen on top of the burner and retrieved it when I took the burner out, I put it to one side thinking I'll find its...

I purchased a tow aerators for my kitchen mixer tap now but neither will screw all the way up even with the rubber washer taken out, it leaves about a 3mm gap. Any ideas on what I can do?
