Hi doitall and thanks, Can I ask whether you think the washer would also effect the water to supply to the taps as there isn't any blackness in a glass of water for example?

Hi, Firstly, I'm not sure if this should be in the electrics forum instead or in both forums? I think I will cross post it in both later unless a mod tells me otherwise. The main query is that I have an electric shower which is tripping the fuse every now and then. There is a lot of...

For closure on this thread, the engineer put a screwdriver inside the motor with the power on and gave a few turns and it started up. (As Agile suggested but I was wary of turning the power on and turning it) Thanks for everyone's help.

Pump is dead (spins freely when I insert a flathead screwdriver though) and it looks like a cap on the end of a three way pipe (I guess a valve -- it has "mix" at the bottom, W at the top and K at the opposite side of the cap) has come loose -- not sure if that is related or not.

Thank you also, Tony. I will take a look at the FAQs.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated. Help.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated. Help.

And thanks to you, too, gas_man_gaz. :wink:

I'm a home owner with basic DIY knowledge and I don't think I have asked for a lecture (but thanks for yours) and I am merely trying to ascertain what is wrong so I can call someone out with a degree of confidence. Is that so wrong? And if other people on here who have taken the time to provide...

Hi, Would it boil that quickly though (10/20 secs?), given that heating and hot water supply is cold? Would that also explain why the thermostat has no impact - usually it has to be on 4 or 5 to fire up? Thanks in advance

Hi are you able to give me a bit more information about why it could be the pump? The banging starts after about 10secs, bearing in mind that the water and heating are totally cold.

Last night I was sat in my lounge and there was a couple of crashing sounds which sounded like something had fallen off the window sill in the room above, which it hadn’t. Now I think it may have been a noise from the radiator as this morning the boiler (Potterton F50 located downstairs) didn’t...

Thanks for your advice on fixing my toilet. All seems to be working now. A good lesson in plumbing DIY. Help.

WickedWizard was right. Thanks to you.

Play nice. Thanks, it is 1.5"

Misread your initial post, which after I read I cleaned the inside seal and it did indeed make the problem worse. When you say I need to identify the size that fits on my toilet where am I measuring? The cistern has the white plastic bit that the main Pacific push valve twists in to. If I...

Thanks for this, will look into replacing the valve on the inside. As an aside, is it possible that the seal I can see could have worn over time to allow a leak?

Thanks anyway JohnD. Can anyone else help? I suspect that is the Pacific brand drop valve that is the problem.
