Thanks and okie dokie. Will have another look before buying a replacement. Of course, there is alwsy the chance that in dismantling, , cleaning and reassembling, the seals become 'loose' and the neck leaks. Time will tell.

Thanks. I may try again before buying a new one. As an aside, iside the body (after removing the cartridge, there is a part that seems to be aligned to the correct position by the small hex screw in the base. I removed the screw but could not get the tap apart. Do the two flexi pipes also...

Thanks. easier to find Screwfix than Ikea.

Thanks. Without knowing how it is assembled, unscrewing does seem to be the method. I have managed to get it to rotate, but it is very, very stiff. Will investigate a new one. I hate replacing something that is technically, not broken so is there any way to prevent this happening in the...

What ho one and all, Have a kitchen tap that no longer rotates. Figured it was an easy fix to dismantle and clean the calcium build-up, but not so.... Had hoped not to remove it, but could not release the section above the neck and thought it may be attached from below. There is s small hex...

Have connected the green router socket to a BT wall socket and the phone to their respective BT wall sockets and it is all working fine. Both analogue and DECT. The major advantages are that they are all hardwired and they are not using 13A sockets, which are in short supply.

Thanks for your reply but not sure I understand. I have plugged an analogue phone into the router green port and as I now have a temp number, it is working (dial tone and received an incoming call from my mobile) until my normal number is transferred. We do have two other phones around the...

What ho one and all, After three months of faffing around, Openreach orders created then cancelled, three cancelled engineer visits, yesterday, finally, an OR engineer with common sense managed to fit the fibre, and described the job to a colleague, as 'p*ss easy!' The original copper has...

Thank for the reply. See my post number 3 for a photos of the loft; fully boarded and very well illuminated. Getting FTTP has now been a three month ordeal; EE have to get get OR to do the job but god knows what is happening. I wrote to the CEO and am now being handled by the Executive...

Thanks; I know I'm not tied to EE. I have not actually investigated alternatives, but it is my suspicion that any other company would hencounter the same fibre installation issue. t sounds like weasel words but the guy from the EE Executive Complaints Dept who has 'taken ownership' of my...

Thanks. The lead I have installed is a 50m CAT6 with plug at each end. Rather than cut to the desired length (probably around 25m -30m), I will coil the remainder in the loft so the entire cable is as it came from the factory. I do have a socket push-down tool but do not want to get into...

Now got the CAT6 from the loft (second floor??) to the area we use an an office / work space. Can hardly describe it as 'future proofing' since I have no idea how a future buyer would use the space. We built this house and at the time, I had little to no idea about CAT6, did not intend to...

I'm currently with Plusnet and my contact has ended. We want to keep the phone and Plusnet are not offering VoIP so have to move to EE who do. All are part of the BT group. I've lost count but four or five orders have been created and then Openreach cancels. I have received three routers and...

Thanks. I know about the loft H&S business so am designating it as the second floor. As an FYI, attached is an image of my dangerous loft. Given that Openreach will have to attach the fibre to the roof apex at the front of the house, at around 9m high, I can fully understand why a loft is so...

What ho one and all, Will be getting fibre to the house in the near future and want the ONT in the loft. Have managed to get a CAT6 cable from the loft to the ground floor 'office' space and will plug the router into the wall plate. Bandwidth and speed is not an issue as only the two of us...
