Could I connect output from power shower to cold tap of bath and open both to remove air lock in bathroom??

The problem is still there this morning. I was thinking either frozen pipe- as what little water that is coming out is very cold or debris down pipe stirred up by the refilling of the tank as there is a gurgling noise when the tap is switched on. Is the bathroom cold water fed straight from the...

Whilst I fully understand why there would a Tade Talk section on this site, I think in order for a fair balance it might be good to have an area where DIYers can talk to other DIyers in their own area. The trade appear to have an area where they put the wourld to right about annoying or...

I think the regulars on here would suggest the pump at fault and to check it is turning, they did with me when I asked a very similiar question.

I have bought a house with oil fired heating and am considering changing over to gas. the pros are: it doesn't run out, the oil tank is fairly unsightly and smells in the garden the oil tank is showing its age and is unbunded the boiler is apparenty original to the house - about 30 years...

Is there any upgrade to prevent it happening again or is it just replace the existing? Is the feed normally 15mm?

It has got some rubbish in it, bit rusty

Just what I was dreading, I only tried the beaker test whilst getting air from 1st rad, should I do the beaker test while running the pump and attempting to bled the towel rail?

It is I think a oil fired boiler, vented system and the air release valve was weeping water out of it, it was mounted on a tee piece on the side of the cylinder, see below- thats the old one. Pump is in the upstairs airing cupboard with an overflow pipe going up to the loft on goes above the...

I have just got back from the work and decided to change the air release valve in my system as it was leaking. Drained the system down by closing off the rads and drained pipework via pipes in upstairs bathroom. Fitted valve and began to bleed after re-opening rads. Have been bleeding 3...
