Thanks for the info, it is 125mm yeah which I thought was odd… and now you’ve explained how it’s normally done it definitely isn’t standard! I had to crack on with the job and decided the pan connector fitted snug into the socket and has worked well for 30+ years so just replaced it with a new...

Yeah the pan connector pulls out of the elbow. It does seem to fit well before the elbow widens to 125mm. Is there a much wider pan connector? Or suggest remove the entire elbow from the soil pipe?

Hi I’m replacing an upstairs toilet and this is what the pan connector goes into, but had a huge bead of silicone around it to fill the gap. What do the pros usually do here?

It is an old boiler but the pump works great and is on the highest (of two) settings and always has been. Not sure if the thelps but yeah it might be time to call in the pros!

Thanks for the reply! It is on 15mm pipe like the rest of the house but also yeah it is the furthest away. I guess im out of luck?

Hi all. Ive got a 4 bedroom house with a single storey extension at the end of the house (furthest point from the boiler)... Boiler and hot water tank is in a cupboard upstairs, it is a sealed system. All radiators heat up as they should apart from the one in the extension. I have followed...

About £40 I think. Worth a go? Just wondered if there are any other suggestions to check first. Also yeah I have no intention of going near the gas side

Thanks for the suggestion. I forgot to mention I did also test this and it was 0.1 which I believe means it’s good

Should add the the pump and fan both come on but then nothing happens and the light flashes

Alpha CD30s Neon light B is flashing, and the manual says that’s the Overheat Thermostat. I’ve tested it for continuity and it seems fine. Also tested the temperature sensor and flue sensor both seem fine. Anyone got any other suggestions? Perhaps it’s the PCB?

Thanks for the tips and the suggestions for tools. Very tempted to go for it!

Ideal that’s what I’ve been looking for. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Not sure yet but possibly the sandstone you mentioned. I’ll watch a load of YouTube videos to see if it’s something I feel able to do lol. How difficult is it? And does it take long? Vague questions I know but just figuring out if it’s possible for a DIYer

Hi guys, I’ve got a lawn that gets quite boggy and ideally I’d like to turn at least half of it into a patio, so just after some advice! What’s involved firstly in terms of preparation? How much to dig away, what to put down as a sub base etc? What sort of fall would a typical patio have...

Yeah I guess so! All working so I’m glad I attempted it at all. Thanks again
