Hello, I have got a torbeck cistern and every time that the pressure increases it starts to hiss at the valve and slowly releases water into the pan. This is the second time in as many years that I have had it replaced but no matter what, it continues to overflow. Has anyone got any ideas how...

I have contacted BT and they have checked my line and they claim that the line is OK. I ahve got two extention sockets in various rooms and they have suddenly decided to work when they feel like it. Now thats more that a coincidence that they have both packed in at the same time isn't it...

Does anyone know if there is a list of telephone engineers available to contact to do some repairs to my faulty extention sockets or are we obliged to use BT engineers? Thank you.

don't know if this is the right forum but here goes. Is there anyone out there that has expert knowledge on buying the correct underlay for carpets. I just want to go out and buy a good quality, long lasting underlay that can be used for every room in the house......not the present rubbish...

Thanks for that website...I'll have a go with that site and see if that makes sense?

I have spoken to my supplier once again and he is quite happy to let things stand as they are...in other words its me thats got the problem not him. As far as he is concerned the meter is working as normal so if I wish to query the calibrations he will simply replace the meter with a new one and...

Thanks for your replies but maybe its my fault that I have misled you a bit! Although the site is not owned by me, my home is totally owned by me and the site owner is the provider of the electricity to my home. As such I would have thought that he would be responsible for the meter and all...

Not sure if this question is in the right forum, but here goes.....I live on a park home site and my electricity supplier is the site owner. I have asked that my electric meter be replaced as it is obvious from talking to other residents on the site that the meter is inaccurate. I have asked him...

How can I prevent external PVC doors from sticking when they are opened and closed during hot weather and also during periods of very cold weather? Thank you.

I am trying to get hold of external BLACK pvc cladding to put a skirt around my park home but I am struggling to find a good supplier. If someone can point me in the right direction I would be so grateful. I also require the black plastic trims and nails etc.

Thanks very much for your help, the washer has been replaced and everythings back to normal. If that cistern is a sign of progress...bring back the penny farthing???

yes it looks like the torbeck side inlet and the water is actually trickling over the inlet on the top of the arm after the system has completed its flush....Any offers please?

Yes I have moved the arm to its final notch but it is still leaking....can I buy a washer without having to replace the whole lot....This cistern is only two years old?

Thank you for your help....I have just realised that the arm down to the float is notched out and can be twisted up or down(in this case down to close off the valve sooner). Sorry for being a pest but its nice to know that someone out there is prepared to help....thank you.

But how can you adjust the valve when the arm is made from plastic not from copper. The whole fitting is just a plastic arm with a round float at the bottom?
