@Wayners many thanks for your advice. I didn’t know about o ring cord.

Hi Has anyone had experience of a Porcelanosa Smartline cistern leaking where the down flush pipe attaches to the cistern outlet? It's a "push and twist" fit pipe that goes on a short pipe at the bottom of the cistern and sealed with two "O" rings. Picture of the pipe attached. The replacement...

@Madrab Sorry I meant the horizontal inlet pipe that goes between the curved end of the cistern down pipe and the cone. As per this. Thank you.

@Madrab thanks very much for your reply. One more question if I might - should the cone be insterted into the pan first and then the pipe inserted into the cone once fitted into the cistern down pipe or should the pipe and cone be assembled and inserted together? The flush pipe has a lip about...

Sorry if this is a naive question. Should the flush pipe (45mm) on a Noken Smartline enter into the toilet pan rubber cone from the wider diameter 45mm end as far as the narrower 40mm diameter end or should it extend right through the narrower end further into the pan ie with the cone fins...

We have a wet UFH system with Komfort touchscreen thermostats which don't turn back on after a power cut. The programmed settings are retained but the thermostats have to be turned back on via the on/off button to get the heating working. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement that would...

@oph thanks for your reply. S plan? Yes I think that's right. Separate controls for HW and CH, 2 diverter valves - programmable room stat and programmer for H/W with tank stat. Regarding "bypass if it's even fitted" - according to the 24i instruction manual I have it says there is an internal...

Yes these people do http://www.handlestore.com/category/uPVC-Door-Handles-No-Key-Hole/0/ However, you can only buy pairs and discard the inner one for each handle you need to change. My local locksmith says that they are available separately and he can supply them. (He also pointed out...

Hi I want to replace the double eurocylinder locks on our patio doors with single ones so they can just be locked from the inside. We never use the exterior key access. Is this possible and can I replace the outside handles (or the pair) with ones with no exterior keyhole? Many thanks

Thanks all - most helpful. I missed these somehow when looking around. thanks also for the ELV- LV distinction.

Hi, I'm replacing some older type LV bathroom downlighters which have an 85 mm dia hole. Most new ones are around 65 -70mm cut out with an overall diameter of 80 mm. Short of filling holes, replastering (pimply artex as well) and starting again, does anyone know of any conversion fittings...

Excellent - thanks very much.

Thanks for your advice - appreciated. One quick question - with my old Horstmann wireless thermostat under normal operation if there was a power cut when it was calling for heat then that was it until the next programme change which called for an increase in temperature - unless you manually...

@ D_Hailsham - thanks for your reply - I hadn't thought of the P2 setting. I'd assumed if it was in the failsafe state the red LED would be on on the relay box to let you know? I need to read the instructions again. My concern was that when leaving my property for a long period in the winter...
