In my case it was the starters, it's working again now. Thanks for all your help.

That's right! There are two.

Brilliant, thank you very much. I had no idea what the difference was.

I'm trying to find a replacement for the one on the right. The one on the left didn't work, can someone please help?

Yes, that is true. The instructions say otherwise, even if the front says paint over rust.

That's a fair point, that's why it's worth stripping back to bare metal and treating before applying paint if there is a chance any areas covered might have areas of rust you can't get to. I've ordered 5l of Xylene as I believe that's essentially what Hammerite brush cleaner is.

Double the price now. I know this is an old thread but it's useful for anyone wondering. Would this be a good substitute for the product recommended...

I tried sticking a screwdriver on the pipe and pressing my head and ear against it whilst my Wife tapped on the other end of the pipe and I don't think I could hear anything. Also tried a cheap stethoscope and same result. I don't know how effective it would be as the rest of the pipe is buried...

Could this be the answer? This is the cable going into the house by the electric meter presumably supplying the garage (if not, is it an earthing rod)? The pipe dimensions are the same.

He doesn't touch outdoor stuff and I am still none the wiser.

Thanks for all your help, I have contacted a gas safe engineer that I know.

Thanks, I'd need this to thread first...

I redid the copper piping in the house a few years ago with solder and have used compression fittings on copper pipe. It's the pipe I am not sure about. Could you please share a link to the type of screw on cap you are thinking of?

Thanks for confirming, so what fittings can I use to cap it off if I don't have access to the screwed coupler? I want to be prepared too in case I need to join it back up.

Thanks for clarifying, is that indicative of what it is used for?
