Sorry old thread but I’ve got the same problem. I’ve got Drayton TRV 4’s and one isn’t switching the rad off. It’s in a room with 2 other radiators and it’s the only one not switching off so I don’t believe it’s frost protection. I’ve removed the plastic head and the pin is stiff but using...

heres a photo of the hole in the shower tray. The outer circle unscrews and beneathe that was a seal stopping any water going anywhere other than down the pipe. the seal was replaced by a plumber and then some sealant applied before the plastic ring was screwed back on. Its a porcelenosa shower...

Thanks for your reply. The shower was leaking from where the water drains down the hole in the shower tray. The seal beneath this looked twisted and damaged so this has been replaced and the the area sealed. The shower wasnt used for several weeks after the leak was identified. It is not...

Hi, I manage a small block of 12 flats where we have a leak and I can't identify where its coming from. I have a few ideas tho. The building has ground, 1st and 2nd floors and then a penthouse on the 3rd floor that takes up about half of floor space. Back in June a large leak emerged in the...

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I need. Would be perfect if brown but if I can't find anything else I may well buy that one. I'm impressed to see that my temporary fix was along the right lines. Thanks If anyone has any other solutions please say.

Yes, I'm using the correct bulbs. They come with or without internal igniters and I have the right ones. Unfortunately some of the fittings no longer work. It's a small block of flats which is self managed and I'm responsible for the maintenance so yes I have the necessary permission. I've...

The underground car park where I live has light fittings like shown below (the image has rotated 90 degrees on uploading) with SON E bulbs in. After 8 years some of these light fittings are failing and won't work with new bulbs. Is there a common part in fittings like these that can be...

I tried getting the pin out but it now seems beyond repair. Can you get ust the pin part, or where can I buy a conector kit like this. Ive looked at maplins but can see any. Thanks

The photo's show the male end of a ten pin connector. It is for a lighting control unit. One of the wires has come out of the connector. It cant just be put back in. Can anyone tell me where I can get a new connector with wires attached or how you fit a new wire into the existing connector. The...
