success,, Found a sharper pipe cutter and took a bit off the end. Put ptfe tap round the olive. Slid the nut on then the olive and connected the nut to the end cap, tightened it a bit not to much. No leaks, thank goodness for that. Many thanks for all your help guys, much appreciated.

Im gonna get more olives, and try it again. Problem i'm having is with the pipe, when I use the pipecutter it deforms/crushes the pipe abit so its not a perfect circle at the end of the pipe. Is this ok?? or will it affect the way the olive grips round the pipe?

First attempt went wrong.. I cut the pipe, it was round or straight - used a pipe cutter. I put the ptfe tape on and then the bolt and olive, tightened it up, didnt go too tight, but it still leaked. So I guess I need a few more olives,, however should I have the pipe, really smooth and not...

moved the wires for a clearer picture , here is some more. And a picture of my worried dog, just incase I dont make it out of this diy nightmare alive.

Thanks guys just to clarify I cut off the elbow I then place the stop end on, then tighten the cap and the other bit to the pipe with a couple of spanners. Jobs a good un?? Thanks Stu

Thanks So I should cut off the end elbow joint then put a stop end on (15mm), problem with this is I dont know what a stop end looks like and I didnt see any at B&Q. Could you show me a picture Do I need any special tools apart from ajustable spanners? Thanks Stu
