Not uncommon for bolts to judder under the force of a torque wrench, but equally common for the mssing links in tyre centres to screw up even the simplest of their tasks.

The grinding noise sounds like the clutch plate had either worn down to excess or the friction pads have broken up leaving rivets to grind onto the flywheel. Normally the clutch would be replaced before this point leaving the flywheel undamaged, however the flywheel may now be gouged beyond...

Thank you very much. Do I just ask for an automatic air valve to fit 22m pipe - i'm guessing 3/4" thread? Will replacing this solve the air getting into the rads?

Kill the delivery men and lay their corpses across the scratches!! Had the smae thing at my last house when a repair man pulled out washing machine and gouged the lino. Denied it was him even the missing lump of lino was found on the rear foot of the washing machine. Seriously though is it...

Only one outlet is able to be on at once via control valve switch. Do you think that flexes/isolator valve are not contributing to weak performance. Is a HW capacity as simple as increasing cylinder or is that too simple?

Perhaps didn't explain enough, the shower enclosure and fittings are all new and its one of these all singing and all dancing shower cabins where you connect water and electric to it and it has a multitude of heads and settings etc. Bought the pump from the same shop and was told it was perfect...

Sorry yes, not into mains but simply from the outputs from the pump.
