When the PRD is in normal use it should be blocked. The blocking part gets blown out when a safe pressure is exceeded. Presumably the blocking part (ball, disk, whatever) was located in the tube attachment at the base of the tank. [Edit] In your shower the PRD is likely to be the same as the one...

Sounds like the pressure relief device has blown. "A Pressure Relief Device (PRD) is a safety feature installed in Electric Showers. If heated water fails to escape through the shower head (due to a blockage such as a kinked hose or blocked shower head), the PRD will blow, thereby allowing the...

A good dose of penetrating oil would get them moving; then perhaps some waterproof grease for longer term treatment? But replacement with galvanised hinges would be better.

Neither leaf of the lower hinge is tightly screwed down. Are the frame and the door both hollow?

Any wood scraps would do. Chisel some bits off a garden fence?

Shove some bits of cocktail stick or matchstick in the holes, then use the original screws.

I reckon that rainwater down-pipe could act like an organ pipe when wind blows across the lower end..

Is that a length of rainwater down-pipe to the right of the clay pipe? If so, where will the water from that go if you close off the clay pipe?

Are those the correct units?

I notice the Beeb has lately been announcing that it's 'owned' by the licence-payers, so presumably we/they'll be asked to cough up the damages/costs if the Beeb loses the legal battle or settles out of court?

Angle grinder through nut/bolt?

Since the waste liquid is likely still caustic, perhaps it could be neutralised by combining it with carbonic acid produced by carbon dioxide capture, thus making the whole thing more environmentally friendly.

Perhaps the lock itself could benefit from (graphite) lubrication if it is getting stiff and causing accelerated wear on the keys.

No noticeable bot check here.

In that case there seems to be enough material in the bracket to allow enlarging the hole by 4 or 5mm. You'd also have to elongate the bolt holes or find smaller bearings.

What is the diameter difference between the bracket and the pole?

Triumph Herald 1200.

That would be the logical conclusion if you are sure there is no screw to undo. Could be a very tight fit if there is limescale in there, or a decayed O-ring.

Yes. The band would counter the Coanda effect.

As a temporary bodge you could put a rubber band round the tap to provide a barrier for the water.
