Many thanks for your reply. I will suggest this to my landlord. ;)

The wall thermostat has always been faulty for the last 18 months and since i moved in. The boiler was always on, the burner would boost on and off and the boiler was always on, never on standby.

Hi mate thanks for your reply. Yes the hot water and heating seems to be working ok. The boiler is set to always on and not on timer mode. I just turn it up and down manually to suit how i feel. The wall thermostat has always been faulty for the last 18 months and since i moved in. The boiler...

Hey guys My private rented home has a newish Ideal Atlantic boiler, the wall thermostat does not work, there is only 1 radiator thermostat so i just use the boiler manually. Recently it has started going into standby with the code 00. It used to do this once in a while, now it does it every...

hey guys thanks very much for the reply. The toilet does flush with a medium effort but as you say its still a bit slow. Is the diaphragm easy to replace? I have a wooden spoon to use in future when i do another large pooh. I will put the wipes in a bin in future too. :)

it always has been feeble and Hi mate thanks for your reply. It has always been feeble and i have to give it a fast forceful flush of the handle and hold to get it to flush. I might not have let the cistern fill with that last flush so here is another video, i adjusted the water level until...

Many thanks for your reply mate. I will follow your guidance if i buy a this as there has been some improvement today. Ideally i dont need to buy the rod set and plunger but if i do i know what to do. This morning I flushed away the 2 bottles of bleach i left in the toilet overnight? It did...

thanks for your suggestion mate, no harm trying this tomorrow, i can use my kitchen bin, im steeping beach overnight anyways :)

i will probably be charged if it was my doing :)

thanks mate

thanks mate, ill see if i need the 4" rubber and rod tomorrow after the overnight bleach method attempt. ;)

Are these better than the rod and plunger method?

Ok great thanks for letting me know ;)

Hi mate thanks for your reply. The cistern empties when i flush, there seems to be a problem with it flushing and it often needs a sharp fast push for it to work. I have poured the 2 bottles of bleach i have and if this does not work i might need to buy a rod and plunger as suggested. ;)

Many thanks for your reply. What about this set from Toolstation £32 ? So do you recommend doing this from the actual toilet and not the manhole?

thanks for the warning my friend but i need to find a diy way to clear my toilet waste pipe or u bend ;)

Good afternoon and thanks for your reply. From a Diy perspective surely getting a camera is not quite needed at this stage. It looks like the restriction is close to toilet itself so i thought a good plunger might help. Running water into the toilet flows to the manhole which would suggest the...

ok thanks for your reply ;)

Hello guys the house im private renting in has toilet draining problems, it has been fine for over a year so far. I bought a new £10 flange plunger from Amazon, its useless as its out of shape and it wont get a seal. It wont reshape even when i bathe it in warm water. I have severe IBS and i...

Thanks for your reply. I broke the Mcalpine screw and i have ordered another one off of Amazon. I cannot find a Mcalpine 113mm seal and 41mm screw from the same online shop. Toolstation and Screwfix dont sell them either. I have cleaned everything up and decided to reuse the seal and also using...
