Thanks, will try and get hold of him, although not sure how yet!

Surely a conventional one can always be made to work if you throw enough money at it?

Hi, I'm running out of space and there is a little one on the way. It would be ideal to convert our pretty big loft space in to a spare room. Only used 10 times a year or so. Some of our neighbours have done this but with a proper stair case and this involves about £10-£12k of extra work...

Thanks, all sorted now :)

Hi chaps, Once again I find my self here asking for your expert knowledge :) I am replacing the sink tap and thought it would be a fairly easy task and hopefully a like for like swap but unfortunately not! The two pipes that feed the taps at the last stage have a different sized thread...

You are spot on m8, I did what you said and the diaphragm was split. Is there any chance B+Q might have this part?

I asked a friend this lunch time what he thought, he suggested the tap could be at fault so I decided to remove the tap and guess what FULL to brim with limescale, removed the lot and hey presto everything is working again, thanks for your input guys. BTW I think the unit is original with the...

Another thing that has happened is that the pressure has reduced in that tap, any ideas what to look for?

Here's the old beast...

Thanks for that. I'm pretty handy with DIY stuff is this a DIY job, if so where could I find a diagram and part numbers? Cheers Stewart

Hi I wonder if some one could give me some help? I have a Glow-Worm Ascot 1.4s on demand/tankless hot water system, it fires up fine when turning on the basin or bath but has stopped working a week ago with the kitchen sink, can any one suggest what might be wrong here and how to fix it...
