Thanks guys, I will start with age concern near her. Mains drainage is soooooooo much easier to deal with!

Thinking on it, dont see how the kitchen sink waste could go to the cess pit as it would need to go under the kitchen, living room and dinning room to get out to the back.

Thanks for the reply The guys who empted it said its a brick built cesspit typical of the design at the time. Mums bungalow is literately on the beach sand dunes for a garden so very free draining all round. Between the water meter and the drain is a concrete drive which leads to a few...

After searching google I'm unable to find out how to power the pump separately. Any links to tell/show me or can anyone tell me what to do? Happy to try it first before I move into one room and start saving :cry:

The fuse that blows is on the circuit board? The timer has a wire coming out from it and goes to somewhere on the left hand side where this little fuse is. The board has 2 fuses but the other is fine....don't know what that ones for. Anything involving that timer....put it onto constant...

Thanks for the pics, my boiler is connected to the first one. That fuse did blow a few years ago but that was due to overenthusiastic cleaning in the kitchen, it got wet from the spray bottle cleaning the tiles, water ran down the tiles and into it, took several days to dry out before it...

3 different ideas or things to try, ideas please in which order to try them?

A bimbo moment dont worry I have them too :wink: How do I find out if it's an external fault?

*bimbo hat back on again* no idea how to do that, but I'm sure google can tell me, is this safe for a 'bimbo trying not to be' to do?

no xmas decs up, or diy done
