Yeah this is it, i'll have to get this removed professionally, will obviously test first, but I am 99.9% sure as well that it's likely AIB - which means the little storm porch thing we have also has it (as it looks very similar!) that's only a small area so I wouldn't imagine too expensive, but...

Found another area to take a pic of!

They did say they would bypass it to fill the boiler - as you say they likely then forgot to re-close it - I am pretty sure last time I closed that tap we had no water in the house but i'll double check tonight!

Ahh - So I may need to close that tap instead! It's a WB 4000 30kW Combi

Hey folks, I know i'll have to get it tested to really know for sure, it's a 1970 house, the garage is integral and has a room (and flat roof) above it - I've just assumed it's AIB (people have drilled into it to put pipes in the past before our ownership) but it's so hollow sounding, and really...

Hey folks, we had a new combi boiler fitted about 3 weeks ago - the existing boiler was an old gravity based one in the garage, and it was replaced with a combi - all pipes were available except hot water - so they went into the cloakroom (in pic you can see the pipe that has been recently...

When you put it like that... I am hanging my head in shame! Fair point!

Ooh I tell a lie! There are 3 light switches in the kitchen that control the main light, and two of them the light works fine! Must have a dodgy connection on the other light switch, will check it!

@flameport Done this, it turns on then flickers and turns off again. Will check for loose wire connection

The old light fittings yes, all those thin blue and brown wires were part of the old fixture

Ah! Got it! I thought the group of black was the permanent line but it's the reds! I see!

Hey folks, I have taken off the old kitchen light, and took a photo of the cabling (attached). As well as a picture of all the cabling hanging down. The new led batten light just has a blue and brown. I've connected the blue to the single black wire I've connected the brown to the group(4)...

Yeah I was replacing a busted siphon (wouldn't flush without pushing the handle loads) so thought I'd change the fill valve at the same time as that was an old style ball float one. Thomas Dudley do a "edge" siphon which is a lot slimmer I could try that...

I think close coupled?

It's height adjustable but it still touches the base of the fill valve due to it's width. Need to find a super narrow one @terryplumb which flush valve would you recommend in this case
