couple of choices for ya Steve, Undo nut under crutch head, take out broken inners and replace head with PTFE etc, you'll have a non working stopcock but you'll have water and you may not have to go shopping for that, or the same but replace the inners for new, shopping trip needed for that...

Surely the points being missed, it sounds like this house will end up with 5 en-suites and 1 bathroom, No Combi can supply that, Not one, system boiler and unvented is the way to go, if each en-suite has an electric shower then maybe a combi but that would be the only way

sorry Andrew but thats pretty much what will happen, you should know an hourly/half hourly rate before he starts, the other option is to call WB who will carry out a fixed price repair including most parts but it ain't cheap,

Why would you thank Joe for this post, he hasn't even read your post properly as you say it has worked fine since install and he has said wait till he comes of holiday as you've managed for 4 months. and the second post you thanked and he gave you no useful information at all,

:P

you have a problem with the tap cartridge not the boiler, if the boiler was at fault it would be the same at all hot water outlets,

You can feed 3 rads from 15mm flow and returns, yes, it would be better with 22mm but it will work from the 15's, no more than 3 Rads though

nice idea Lee, I've got the iso valve restricted with an elbow on at the mo but a bit noisy to leave in, Drain cock would work well i think, cheers

Any plumbers out there know were i can get a good old fashioned no bells or whistles Petcock from, another cistimiser gone wrong, my werchants say 7-10 days !!!!!! cheers

if it gets corroded all you need is a schreader valve from Halfords (same as a car) and a foot pump simples :)

Yes, I'm afraid though as you'd have to open the boiler i can't tell you how as you'd need to ba Gas Safe registered, sorry

take out the cheap iso valve you have and fit a full bore good quality one, i have the same issue at my house and i've closed the valve about 70% and no noise what so ever, you could even use the olives and nuts that are there so just change the body,

If it's that easy to fit then you have nothing to lose, the cost of the Rad is not much although curved bay window rads can cost a bit a normal straight low level one to cover the straight part of the bay will be fairly cheap, if you can fit it yourself then go for it, as you've said in your...

It will be controlled from the boiler, you will have summer mode and winter mode also most likely a time clock on the front of the boiler with pins you pull out (on) and push in (off) also a clock logo for timed and an on for constant, I would advise having a wireless programmer installed...

I would suggest you get a plumber o look into it as the vent pipe looks a little low in the tank, could it have dropped ?

Yep

Got a bathroom to do in a couple of weeks, Soil branch runs under bath in Cast, Basin and bath waste in copper (nice scrap :-) ) question is do any of you have a better connection method to copper and cast for plastic than Furnco's, Never had an issue with Furnco's but thought I'd ask anyhow.

sorry to here you've been cowboy'd, drain down and pressure test would be a good idea, if you hand tighten the joints and they still leak they will need replacing as push fit only needs hand tightening.

Fair enough, Can't work out then why people by the Gas version, I was thinking along the lines of why would it taste any different to cooking on the Hob ?

Ok Time to buy a new BBQ, can't decide which is best, Gas or Charcoal ?. A bit of a novice with the old BBQ thing so any advise would be great.
