Very Very much appreciated. Thank you

I've got a small leak from what looks like a Lusso radiator valve. See attached pic. I want to take the cap off to fix it but can't find instructions on how to get to the spigot/gland/nut Does it pull off/wind all the way out/or have an end cap that should be prised off? Thanks for all...

Thanks Terry , it was air in the system. Its only when you call your insurer that you find out the boiler cover you are paying for is as useful as a chocolate tea pot. So I drained down and refilled carefully after a spell of X400 etc. and clanking disappeared. I think initial problem was with...

Yes it's full and ball cock seems to be operating. Tank is clear water but nasty orange sediment in it. I haven't put any anti corrosion in for a few years (yeh I know) could there be crap in the system? Boiler was serviced in summer and engineer said she was running fine for something of that...

Thanks for taking an interest Terry. I've attached a pic of the drain valve location. Yeh rads and HW are fine. Boiler isn't locking out , just knocking

Thanks Andy

Thanks for taking an interest Loofah. There is terrible stench that comes and goes in downstairs front room. He's had floorboards up and nothing amis. An old guy lived and died in the property before and it is in a poor state. He's run hoses down all the manholes , flushed loo etc and all seems...

Thanks CBW. I'll get more of a description together . He's going to try rodding everything tomorrow so I'll wait till he's done that. Thanks for taking an interest.

Am trying to help my son who has drainage problems in his first home. It's an old 50's ex council house. I live too far away to know truly what's going on but we are trying to understand what the round pipe that feeds into the manhole is usually used for. Would anyone know where that could...

Thanks Harry. Great Intel.

Thanks everyone for helping. RS isn't too far from me so had a punt on one that looked very similar. I just fitted it and it works a treat. 172569258 RS PRO Button Micro Switch, Quick Connect Terminal, 16 A @ 250 V ac, SP-CO Stock no.:804-6240
