From your description I would consider checking the pressure in the expansion vessel. This generally sits at the rear of your boiler, normally bright red on Ravenheat boilers (~40cm diameter) and has a valve inlet resembling something off a car tyre valve. If the boiler hasnt been serviced for...

I know what it is now. No response needed thank you.

My push button toilet uses a MacDee AFV 50100 valve assembly. But what exactly does the lever do on the main barrel of the device (see red arrow) and how exactly can it be adjusted. My thanks in advance. Poisonata

MK 5932S Sentry 32 Amp Type B 6ka Single Pole MCB. The wire does only feed the aforementioned items. Thank you for your responses so far.

It is 2.5 sq mm twin and earth BASEC (old colours red/black). The copper wire cores are solid. Standard wire for socket outlets. From the consumer box (MK Sentry 10 Way Dual RCD Board with 2 RCDs & 10 MCBs) the wire also powers the gas boiler control box/pump. Consumer unit > Gas Boiler >...

I'm planning on adding an extra double socket in our spare room (bedside lamp and phone charger) while we are decorating. My plan was to insert a junction box into an existing cable that very conveniently runs exactly past the new socket location. Tracing the cable to it's end point it appears...

Follow Up: Anglia Water attended surprisingly quickly (within 4 hours of calling) and had the following to say: 1. He suggested to me that it was most likely the reason for the constant blockages was mainly due to the outdated design of the trap exacerbated by the use of water saving...

I assume your not fond of visitors @ Agile :) Or maybe just an excellent way of keeping those religious cold callers at bay :D

The original cast iron vent pipe I removed as it was so badly corroded it was in danger of collapse. Flakes of rust had blocked it totally all the way to the end of its meeting point with the sewer (see above picture - grey arrow). The ceramic part of the pipe is now clear but I placed a...

So there is definite merit in reinstallation of the vent pipe. Thank you, this makes things very clear. One further question: As the manhole is fairly sizeable is there any reason I couldn't get down into the hole and rod the interceptor myself all the way to the main street sewer. My only...

First thank you to both of you for posting. This really clears up a lot for me so thank you so much. Regarding your comments Hugh Jaleak: Quite often (as the manhole cover is no longer air tight) especially on windy days (this part may be a red herring) a nasty smell emanates from the manhole...

Hello, Our Victorian property was built in the year 1900 to 1908 and is situated on a fairy typical UK street of terraced houses. Our particular block of houses consists of five properties of which we are the end (Our properly marked with blue dot). The picture below illustrates perfectly the...

Thanks for your reply. I have already considered this option though as the boiler is under warranty I have yet to do any work on it myself. No observable leakage from the PRV and as the pressure has never really gone over 2.1 - 2.2 bar (on highest boiler setting) and it blows at 3 if i remember...
