Thanks for both your replies, very helpful indeed. As I have no money problems, the cost is not an issue, as long as it’s right and safe, and necessary ! That’s why I suggested a new CU, in the first place,it cost £80 to replace fuses with mcb’s If I opted for a new CU , is circuit rccb...

Thanks for reply, much appreciated.

Hi Guys, in need of some advice please. Bare with me, I am no electrician. Been in house 26 years, it was rewired before I moved in. I bought it of an electrician. Beginning of this year, had new kitchen installed, the electrician was needed to instal 6 ceiling lights, and new appliances. The...

Hi Guys, sorted. Resorted to the last resort, “ Ford spanner” , big hammer on problem trv’s. Must have been seized up due to crud. All rads nice and warm, after re- balancing. Cheers for advice. Cheers

Hi. This is what I did this morning, as I suspected rad was blocked with gunk as top was tepid and the rest stone cold. Bled rad again. Drained rad,from trv side, water clear as a bell. Disconnected both trv and lock shield from empty rad. Took top on trv so it should be open,but no water as...

Turned bathroom off again, rad just warmer, but not hot. So trv is letting water through, but why not hot as the incoming pipe trv is on ? Been like it a while. Hasn’t shut down again yet!

Lock shield fully open? bathroom rad on again as it just shuts boiler down?

Had to reset the boiler

Just turned rad in bathroom off. Didn, t want boiler blowing off! Boiler just shut down, rad still not getting hot.

Hi Picasso, thanks for reply I have got all rads off except the problem one and a small one in bathroom which gets red hot, for comparison,but problem rad still not getting hot. I did the same the other day, to eliminate balance problem, although I have just rebalanced them again,rad got...

Hi Guys, need a bit of advice please. I have two old rads that are not getting hot, barely warm. I flushed one ages ago, Black,no change. I suspected crud, but just drained the other one, and the water is crystal clear, could drink it! Was going to flush it, but didn’t bother . Can I just change...

Hi Guys, seem to have hit a snag. Put new Fluidmaster siphon in tank, but of a game with adjustment for overflow height, and side handle, which is not adjustable like front handles, just a hook, had to set at 8 inches as bell housing was impeding side flush lever, only one hole for hook...

Feel like it sometimes:mrgreen: It’s not a big cistern, only holds two phones out of curiosity. Are all pans the same height from the floor to the straight P outlet through the wall. Just in case I deem to change it? If the seat screw goes again, it would be cheaper to replace the lot, than...

thanks andy, got screw fix local,£20 job d one, cheaper than new loo, sprayed wingnuts with oil overnight to so they ,Might, not shear

Don,t know if these help. Ignore first, test as you can see, even lagged inside to try to stop condensation, no good though.

Thought about it, but it is one of a suite and in a corner, one of the costliest they make , even though it gives me grief with seat screws shearing and as I said,£220 for new one. Yet siphon. Had lasted 24+ years ! i am still trying to find how to post a pic.It Condenses like hell,I put a...

Thanks again.I will try to find out how to post a pic. cannot feel a ring! had the whole toilet out several times, but never split it,hope the wing nuts don,t shear ! is the Dudley duo 88 ok for right side handle ? Good of you to help.

Thanks newboy for reply. I am useless at posting pics, don’t know how? I will try if you are to tell me how . it looks to me to be in one piece ! I was just looking at the Dudley turbo 88. I have had the suite over 24 years. Flipping expensive, over £200 for a new seat, had three in the past...

Hi Guys, I have an Ideal accent close coupled single flush toilet cistern , with side handle,and it won’t flush! Presume it is the diaphragm . Don’t know what the part is called , other than diaphragm ? Does the whole flush system have to come out of the cystern to replace it, which means the...
