Will do, or I have put a bit of kitchen roll in the pressure relief pipe in the past. I'll let it cool and down and check thanks. My theory was that maybe the condensate pipe was freezing up which caused the boiler to overheat and the relief valve let out all the pressure from the wet side of...

I'm assuming the pressure release as I had to top up the water. The thing is it lost pressure when it was outside of the start time. It could have been the frost protection kicking in. There was no sign of a discharge from the pressure release pipe but it may have cleared up by the time I looked...

My boiler just dumped the water this morning at 6am. Twice its done it now and both times during a cold snap. I'm hoping its just the condensate pipe.

Her as well. The "THEN" Mrs was the clue. Too much information. Remember Izal, the John Wayne of toilet rolls. Takes sh*t off no man.

Reminds me of a trip to Vienna many years ago. The then Mrs used the subterranean Public convenience adjacent to the cathedral. It was manned by a former concentration camp guard by the Mrs' description. Despite handing over one euro, the bitter old crone would only give out one piece of tissue...

It won't be long before we're buying two of those and twinning them up. Just to think our Victorian forefathers went to the trouble of installing clean and plentiful water supplies and drainage systems, only for the idiots of the future to make it unaffordable and neglected.

I'd heard that the Vaillant use stainless steel heat exchangers and Gloworm do not. However an engineer would have to confirm this as it may be all *******s. Plus the heat exchanger on my Vaillant went for a Burton just prior to the end of the guarantee, which was handy.

This thread is turning out to be like a faulty ball valve. It just runs and runs.

Yes, it looks like there's no way around it. If the hose was restricted from entering either the toilet or bidet pan, it wouldn't be any use. It makes you wonder how people retrofit those Japanese bidet toilet seats that are available. In the hospitals where I have worked the toilet supply was...

We have a bidet with just a mixer tap fitted. However I've been considering one of those Shataf jobs. A bit awkward on the install due to the tiling. A friend of mine has them installed on all his toilets in his newly renovated house. I asked him if he had fitted them to WRAS standards. It...

Siphonic toilets were widely used in some hospitals at one point in time. They were used particularly on Maternity and Gynaecological wards. The main problem with toilets blocking on these wards was that the patients used to put their fag ends inside the cistern, thus blocking up the channels in...

Brentford nylons. Not arf.

Not those Tinsel nipple tassels again?

Vaillant ecitec 624 system boiler fitted in 2015. Seven year warranty, but I had to have an annual service for the duration. This was carried out by an independent who was the installer. Three months before the warranty expired I noticed the pressure was dropping and needed contant topping up...

Rimless my arse. They still need cleaning underneath where the water comes from and flows to. Perhaps they are easier to clean though.
