appreciate, thankyou

thankyou, so glad you replied, after you mentioned the wiggling bit its the only thing i didnt do, gave it a wiggle and a bit of movement and its out so now on to removing the cartridge

im convinced the plumber installed has used some sort of thread lock on it, it will turn the same as the handle does when its connected so not alot at all.

ive just found this picture as i browsing so it must unscrew, thats the same handle

hi, here is the new cartdridge thanks

hmmm still struggling, its always me. ive tried putting the handle back on and using the grub screw to tighten then using that to see if it frees, nope, small allen key through the hole and trying that way, its stuck so im wondering if there is another way to get it out and that isn't the...

thanks, i have some of those, i thought maybe i could put a small screwdriver through the hole twist it round but dont want to be breaking anything

this is the part i think i need to pull out, im assuming its screwed into the cartridge, ive only got adjustable spanners in the garage, didnt know if there was a special individual type spanner for this sort of thing

afternoon, i finally got my cartridge after fedex lost it for 9 days, ive got this far but how to you actually remove the old cartridge, and the brass (whatever its called) it had a screw inside it which ive removed, that looks connected should that just pull out? dont want to put too...

evening all i have conventional vented boiler system with header tank in the loft. Last winter i had two TRV's which are leaking quite badly and i tried using some ptfe tape and no luck. So i've done a fair bit of diy around the house, such as fitting new doors, staircase and i've done...

great thankyou, looks exactly the same

evening i have a leak from the waste pipe to the soil pipe from the bathroom, took a picture and went to b&Q today and the guy had no idea. can someone id what this fitting is so i can order a new one please

sadly after contacting central services and a couple of other places online i've basically been told they no longer stock the part and my best bet is to reach out to a local plumber. Any idea on suggestions for 0 ring kits or will any do and then just take apart and just work my way through...

evening all, hopefully this doesnt sound too dumb, i have this valve on a radiator which is weeping so i'm going to replace it. i found a valve on ebay , is the angled one ok to use, the valve on wall looks like its 15mm each side if that makes sense https://i.imgur.com/RjAC8be.jpg

evening all ive found out the tap is made my FRANKE, i just need to find the model. thanks

hi thanks for everyones replies, unfortunately we cant remember where we got the tap so no chance of tracking that down and no makers name on it. i will look at a o ring kit but take the point its probably worn so i will have to just give a bit of trial and error. thanks

evening all, this tap is leaking in our kitchen (its leaking where the two parts meet underneath the allen key hole) not too bad but is a case of turning water off and then using a allen key in the little hole at the back, would it be a o ring i need to get and replace with. dont want to...

afternoon all, last winter i had a couple of radiator valves that started weeping, one had been the year before and i put a small cup under them with the plan on changing them. I understand its a drain the whole system down, i have a drain plug on the rad in the utility room that i can use...
