If this turns out to be the problem, we can't get the neighbours to re-fit their water fixtures one by one, so where do I look for a solution? Pressure reducers where the mains water comes in? Foam padding around the pipes? Further thoughts, anyone?

Parent's house; persistent pipe hammer, even when no water appliances in the house are being used. Manifests itself as a loud THUMP or THUMP-THUMP, clearly audible in all parts of the house. Mains water feeds kitchen tap at ground level, and cold water tank in attic. Hot water comes from HW...

Best design I've seen was in the Bellagio hotel at Las Vegas - full to the brim as described above, when it was flushed, the pan drained and a jet of water was released at the bottom of the pan, firing horizontally from front to back to propel the waste products into the soil pipe. Is...

Import one from America. Standard design in the UK; small puddle of water in the bottom of the pan, remainder of pan is dry, anything above the waterline can air-dry, as you've found. Standard US design; large volume of water remains in the pan, to about 3 or 4 inches from rim. Solids...

Well, assuming he hasn't had access to your land recently to connect these downpipes to a drainage chamber or pipe, that implies that the situation has pre-existed you moving in. Did the neighbour get permission from the previous owner of your house to do this? Alternatively, has the...

Internal fault in the clock/timer circuitry ?

Q: Is the HW only a trickle from the new taps AND the tower (power?) shower, or just from the shower?

I'd suggest the 'whole solenoid assembly' would be the smallest part you can buy in this area - the solenoid would have to be assembled at the factory, and they're unlikely to supply you the parts to make one yourself...... Have you tried here - www.showerdoctor.co.uk, especially the forum...

Shouldn't have been cycling on the pavement then, should he? There's a reason we call it a FOOTpath and the Yanks call it a sideWALK ....

I can picture it in an episode of 24; Jack puts the bad guy's thumbs in and tightens the screw.....

WOT?

Loosen the outside tap, close the existing isolator, remove the curved bit of pipe by detaching from top nut of ex isolator, and cutting pipe on straight section next to soldered 90 degree joint, making sure to leave enough straight section to join on to. Assuming WM to the left of pipe, add...

...because if you put the pictured T + isolator in place of your existing, you won't be able to isolate the feed that goes through the wall......

Question: Why are isolator taps for washing machines etc typically of the design shown above; silvered metal, with plastic control tap - when isolators for taps and stop cocks are typically brass construction with brass taps and screw valves? Both are working under the same pressure, doing...

Link to your pic doesn't work

That doesn't fit with the symptoms described. In the above scenario the user would get snow when selecting the analogue channels, but she describes not being able to select them at all......

Is there an equivalent for Scotland...?

Does Part P apply only to England & Wales, or to the whole of the UK (including Scotland) ???

Again, maybe obvious, but is the DVD recorder responding to any other buttons on the remote? If nothing is responding, have you tried fresh batteries in the remote? Have you tried switching channels on the recorder itself, rather than on the remote (assuming the recorder has these buttons...
