So far so good but an effin pain to rebalance having refilled... and cutting the old olives off those short bits of pipe was a total PITA. Let's see if the system is still above 1 bar in the morning...

No water in the EV but it may be low pressure. Understand I need to check pressure level when the system is completely depressurised but my bike pump doesn't make this easy...

Have the day for it today... Perhaps I should try the expansion vessel first?

Hi, I haven't done this yet. Just wondering if a weeping valve is still most likely given I'm having to top it up every day by 3/4 bar, ie by the of the day its dropped each time to 0.25. Is there anything else I can check? Will deffo have a go this weekend as getting seriously ff'd off. Will...

Cool thanks gigz. I got the valve with the actuator but didn't change it yet. Will look to do pump valves sames time since last did them about 7 yrs ago and noticed a drop of water a while ago...

Really that quickly? Will give it a go, cheers

Hi, Have started to have to keep topping up the level on a sealed vented system (I think that's what it is - conventional boiler plus cylinder, cylinder vents into cold water tank, boiler and cold in loft, HW cylinder ground floor). The system runs ok on heating but switching on HW at...

There's no earth going into the ceiling fitting. Will it have to be rewired? Cheers

I know you guys hate bringing up old threads, but heh I can take the wrath :) Will this damage the LED? There are various opinions on line. I believe I have the 2 way switch scenario, with leakage across the wire. The one way connected lamps have no glow. Will this damage my new SMDs? I...

Hi, got a quote to redo the roof. The roofer suggests we could re-use most of the slates but they're covered in green, so I was wondering can they be cleaned up safely with a pressure washer? All the slates would be coming off so this would be pretty easy. Not sure they're welsh slates but...

Cheers mate- is this a chargeable repair?/ treated as a new line like you say? :roll:

Turns out the blead nut on the pump had a stupid plastic cover which meant it wasn't tightening properly. Popped that off and got a standard 8 or 10mm and jobs a good'un :)

Hi guys, my friend has never used the phone in his flat and has recently tried to get it connected as his neighbours broadband in the flat downstairs which he was sharing (the broadband not the flat) was frequently out. The new provider said they would activate the inactive line but he had a...

hmm reckon I'll try sealing the thread with ptfe tape as suggested here, see if that helps... http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1444788#1444788

Hi all, I have this issue which I suspect is a duff pump. Had a couple of cold mornings this week and the CH has come on for half an hour or so. Now when the HW comes on the pump sounds like its struggling. To resolve I bleed the pump and then redo the system pressure. (Sealed system with...

Just to round up, after I sorted out the mess from the pro kitchen installer I found behind the sink, the tap works great on cold, so long as no one else on the street is using any water ;) The diffuser never works on hot - nowhere near - but its great when it does on cold :D

Hi, The minimum size is 30mm. The maximum is 45mm. Yes, this size is generally standard. Regards Whoop! Whoop! Reckon that'll fit no probs. The current base is 5cm and new is 5.5cm, pretty sure the old one won't have had less that a 2.5mm lip :)

Cheers mate probably won't get back to this till next weekend but thanks for talking me through it :)
