Dear all wondering if anyone could help. I have spotlights in the bathroom with a light cord to switch them on and off. Lately it took 2 pulls for the lights to switch on. Now it takes 3 pulls to switch the lights on. Whatcould be the problem be here? I have previously replaced...

Thanks for the replies. The light wouldn't go out all night. It was still on this morning. I switched the power off at the fusebox for a minute. The light didn't come on - so I think it's ok now.

Just an update - I have just changed the filling loop (well part of it) Had to turn main cold water from outside of house Discconnected the valve with the key - kept the same olive on the pipework and fitted new valve with new flexi hose. Turned on water (no leaks) Pressure spot on...

I will have to change the filling loop next. Should do this sharpish as this was the cause of your problem.

oh, I was quoted £140 from a plumber to supply and fit the part - original WB PRV cost me £10.50 + vat! :D

FOI Balenza - I've just managed to do it I am not a pratt - I had already consulted techincal at wocester bosch who did say it was easy to replace and didn't really warrant a profesional. As long as I was not messing around with the gas i would be ok. Coupled with my previous post for advice...

Sorry to post as new topic...but I am really struggling to get the PRV off. Does anyone know how to get the PRV off this worcester bosch I have taken the clips out but I can't seem to get it off. So far I have been what I described as being quite delicate with it trying not to rip it...

Can I just close the stop clock on my mains - will that close the cold water to the boiler? To release the water through the PRV - Does teh water drip or flow out of the pipe outside? thanks Will attempt later on when I come back from shopping
