My mistake then. I must of only seen the Mira sports then! Mira sports is on the left. Last time I seen one anyway that’s why I started avoiding Mira as thought they was left feed only

Never seen that before but cut/break off the washers and metal behind the nut maybe it’s a push fit type grab ring. If that doesn’t release it your gonna need a plumber. The pictures ain the best focused to be honest

Be carful with Mira the inlet is on the left. my go to is triton easy fit. As it’s one that I know is very universal. Not best quality ect but does the job

Only replace if you was doing a refurb in your forever house

There’s an olive yes. When I have a leaking compression I try to tighten it. then next would be jointing compound, if there was still a problem a few wraps of ptfe would fix it. If that didn’t work which is unlikely! I’d be thinking the pipes cracked in the fitting or summat like that

Obviously boiler off and cold pipes

The method I said takes balls! As long as you hold the pipe in to the fitting you could do what I said. I say hold it as if it’s in loose pipework it can pop out

Get it serviced and they will show you. Your condense will prob be blocked next year then it won’t work. Think emergency breakdown!

agreed Honeywell display issues on the cm’s is shocking. Hardwired is the future, or is it supposed to be the past haha

Tighten it some more. If that doesn’t help undo the nut on the side that’s leaking with a towel handy to catch water then get some ptfe or jointing compound and slide the nut off the fitting whilst you hold the pipe pushed in to the fitting and apply paste or ptfe. Then retighten.

Just ask to see the gas safe registered I’d and ask if they’re insured. A lot of companies can charge £1000s more. Your Best against what I just said is approaching a gas engineer who works for a firm but does private jobs ;)

Yes that’s correct possibly too although unlikely as it’s his mom in a flat. The usual suspect of the random airlocks is the ballcock Obviously tank sizing can play a part but it’s not the norm. In the same way maybe the main passed through the downstairs flat and they’re doing work and keep...

for such a smart guy you should know how to fit a external vessel!

Yep there’s not much else it could be to be fair. best practise is as above but spray water on it before removal! Obviously too late now!
