you're paying for an instant guaranteed sale, & quick payment, no advertising, no tyre kickers, ne'er to wells offering stupid money, no undesirables looking over your property when they view the car.... everything has a price and a cost... quite a high one with these guys

you will have to appear in court, so you will lose a days work, half a day if you are lucky. don't forget to charge for that lost days work having to sue her. i don't know ifd you can do that, but worth finding out. otherwise, expanding foam up the exhaust pipe and onto the brakes of all...

makes sense that lead trick - gps signals are quite weak. a friend of mine is about to be trackered and he's not a happy bunny. i think he's just lucky his boss didn't just have them fitted on the quiet

if you are intent on diy, do a search on hep2o. it is easy to use, if not cheap. tails up to the rads can be in copper. designing a decent system that works is not 'dead simple' if you don't know what you are about. if you are asking if compression fittings on copper are a good idea, then...

the crims are using these things, a 6 metre range i think, so you might be ****ing off a lot of other people too. especially the police car at the lights stopped behind you. don't these things also scramble the phone signal too?

the manual method of flushing is to drain off all water, shut trv/lockshields, remove rads jamming a thumb over both tails, whilst carrying them out to the garden inverted (this saves your carpet), you then set them down and fill with a hose pipe jammed on the tail and tap with a rubber mallet...

hmmm, he could be innocent? it could be the trap leaking from the lower gasket seal on the trap, i've seen some where the traps internal seal is actually above the traps gasket seal, so if it leaks then you can get gasses coming back. yeuchh. if he pops the grill out and shines a...

that's it. once done, pressure test, drain a bit off, then add the new inhibitor. you could shut off most of the rads to reduce teh amount of water you need to drain off, but might as well flush all the black stuff out. you don't even need to switch it off, but you might as well. oh, and...

reformat the usb drive :) heheheh. might be a bit extreme i suppose....

nope, if it needs replacing, just drain the lot at any point below the valve to be changed

be carefull to get a coat of soft sand or armaflex around the pipe when it is buried, even though 63mm mdpe is thick walled and up for some abuse, it should be protected below ground against puncture (imagine it getting driven over at some point)

yes, hep is much better, the plastic used is a thermoset plastic - the copper will melt before that does. happy soldering.

using hep or jg is probably asking for trouble every bit as much as using compressions, which is as daft as using solder ring fittings..... *waits for abuse*

even better, andrew marr made the same mistake a bit later whilst talking about the naughtie slip.

newer rads seal on an o ring, older rads you can use ptfe and a sealant (if your just doing odd bits then fernox lsx is worth getting), when you drain, open the bleed valve on the rad you want to drain down (once the system pressure is down a bit). chuck the lot in all in one go is favourite

lets have another vote. am i the only one still using tin/lead? :wink: since a mate threw my half used tub of powerflow out of a window some years ago, and i started using his everflux, i have used nothing else.......

hiya, if you have a towel rail, you can hopefully unscrew the top plug and pour straight into the rad (once you've released the pressure, then drained off a litre or two to allow for the chem to get in) reseal, fill up and start pumping

did it work?

750mm of soil? can it be boxed in and insulated with for instance polystyrene balls? polyurethane foam would work (formwork then fill with foam, but i'd imagine it's cost a mint.

wow, i used that stuff about 25 years ago (if it is the same gear) it was called 'ice melt' and came in carboard cubes lined with a poly bag. it was good stuff. my boss at the time bought a pallet of the stuff, it lasted about 5 winters as i recall cos it was always right at the back of a...
