Please please please!!!!!! Someone must know of a spyhole with a longer length than 64mm. I really don't want to be spending £46 on one though.

I really appreciate you helping me. I will get some X400 and X100 and tackle this job on the weekend. I will let you know how i get on. Thanks Ian

What would you suggest as a decent cleaner? Is sentinel X400 a good one?

Hi, So far it has not dumped any water into the F+E but it may be too early to tell.

The pump was on 2, Now on 1.

Hi, A small amount of slit at the bottom of the tank. The boiler stat does turn on and off the boiler. It's set on No.5 (out of 0-6 dial). If i turn the boiler down to No. 4 it gets cold in the house. Thanks

Hi, I have an old Ideal back boiler. The boiler stat turns the boiler on and off fine. I do have pump heating and gravity water with no cyl stat. Can you explain to me why you think it's a blockage please. Thanks

Hi, Im really not convinced that it is my cylinder but the pumping over seems more likely, I just don't understand where the water is coming from to over flow? Is this because the water is expanding so much due to temperature. Is the stat you are talking about the boiler stat or room stat...

Hi, It's the F+E thats filling. I have raised the vent pipe so it's about 400mm above before descending into the tank. I could understand if it was a constant fill but it seems to be a surge of water being dumped into the F+E ever so often. My neighbors have been telling me all of this info as...

Hi all, I am having a problem at home. Over the last few days my f+e tank has been filling with hot water. I have tried several things but nothing has cured it. I think i have now ruled out a cylinder problem but am unsure. What is the easiest way of telling if this is the case? So far I...

Hi all, I am having a similar problem at home. Over the last few days my f+e tank has been filling with hot water. I have tried several things but nothing has cured it. I have a feeling that i may be a cylinder problem but am unsure. What is the easiest way of telling if this is the case...

I appreciate what you are saying and it does state that it's ok in Doc H it's just something i would never do in someones house as i can guarantee that i will get a call back.

Hi, It may be possible and acceptable with doc H but i personally wouldn't advise it as it can lead to problems. I was merely lending my experience.

Hi, I wouldn't advise you to run a 4" pipe into a 3" soil stack, You are asking for trouble. I have many years ago taken out a WC that was piped up to a 3" stack in London but the outlet itself was 3". I have a feeling that most American WC's have a 3" connection. You may be able to get hold...

Does anyone else know of a spy hole apart from The Chubb WS9 that will do the same thickness. I don't want to be spending nearly £50 on a spy hole. Thanks
