Yeah , was actually thinking of small square of rubber car mat .

Thanks , I did think of silicone however the washer is also to prevent me cracking the sink , I suppose I could always leave washer on and silicone the gap , also poundland is not a bad idea , I was going to cut one out of a plastic milk bottle but I think that they start to biodegrade after a...

I've fitted this new tap , however due to the base of it being a D shape the excess water is dripping through the hole in the sink , I bought the tap as ex display , reduced from £130 to a £10 charity donation at wickes so it was without a washer to go between sink and tap , can these be...

To be honest , Thanks what I was thinking , I'm not trying to con anyone , it doesn't work !

When I moved into my house 25 years ago there was a digital water meter , for approx 10 years my water charges were determined by that , however it stopped working , after a few letters from Severn Trent asking to come and replace it ( bearing in mind this was 15 years ago ) , they stopped...

I've just bought a new prv as combi one is dripping quite badly , I've replaced a few in the past , no problem, is there any reason why I shouldn't use faulty prv to drain system first , If i open the loop and prv would it just run clean water in whilst dumping the old water out , only reason I...

I had a look at the top one in the shop and due to the cut off tap the flow only comes through a small hole that isn't much bigger than the self cutting tap that came with the kit do you think this is sufficient for a pressure washer?

I've bought an outside hose kit, it's exactly what it said it would be ( not suitable for pressure washers) I imagine this is due to the self cutting tap that has the same pressure as my late 40s bladder, I've bought a 15 mm Tee compression to replace it, however I can't find a 3/4 male (...

I've just bought a reconditioned pcb for my ferroli 901, I've had one in the past from the same company no problems, when I plugged this one in the leds just come on very faintly and go off, the clock works and the pump runs but nothing else, is this likely to be a faulty board, all wires...

Ok, Ive done all that now , no change , I think theres now a PCB problem , to be honest the external vessel addition went well but now it wont click on ignition and all the relays are buzzing , my theory is this , i think power isnt going to parts of the board , stopping it lighting and also...

Thanks, I'll give it a go in the morning

I've just fitted an external expansion vessel to my ferroli as the internal one was passing a lot of water, it's created another problem, it all went well, fitted to return pipe ( i double checked) joint eventually stopped leaking but then.... When I fire up the boiler in burns for about...

cant be recharged , water is coming out of vessel when valve pressed , its like a fountain.

Ive bought all the stuff for external expansion , just got to have the bottle to cut into the copper return pipe . ill give it a go tomorrow , just a thought , can I use a self cutting tap into the copper pipe just to confirm its totally drained? , then if it isnt at least I can control it , and...

I've had a better look, they are actually labelled, cold water in (tap) hot water out (tap) there's another 2 with a radiator symbol, one red, one blue, I turned the heating on and the red one got hot well before the blue so I'm assuming the blue is the return seems to go to the pump, does...

I've got all the bits now for an external, but Im not really happy about cutting into the copper pipe , can I put a t compression joint at either of these points? I'm not sure where the return is, is it likely to be at either of these points? picture on left obviously from main pipe...

Thanks I'll bear all that in mind, one final question, can you get flat external vessels?, there is a gap between the boiler and the wall that one would fit nicely in rather that the massive red tank that looks like it should be bobbing about it the sea.

I agree with all comments, its a brick , its expensive to run and needs tipping , however im skint due to redundancy , ive looked at similar (worcester) and it looks as if expansion vessel can be lifted from the back with flue and bracket removed (if i go ahead I wont be doing that part) , I...

Evening , The expansion vessel is ****ing water , wont hold pressure , its one of those pain in the backside ones that are round like a steering wheel and on the back of a ferroli 901 , I can see how it all plumbs in and can buy a new one for £50 , however can this be removed without taking...

thanks, I was expecting air, not water!
