Seem to ask for your assistance every 5 years. Dragged out of bed this morning by other half, boiler leaking in utility room. Took off casing, drip was seemingly coming from Automatic Air Vent on pump, it was loose. Tightened it up and drip has stopped. Restarted heating and everything...

I would like to see the survey you had done pre purchase.

What a fantastic response, I've learned lots from what you have all said, many thanks. I have discussed all your points with the wife and we have decided that as the TV is on her side of the bed, she should get out and turn it off. Should she fall asleep during the football/golf/boxing then I...

I remodelled our bedroom a few months ago. I put a three gang light switch next to the headboard to control the room lights. As my wife changed her mind later we are only using two of the switches with one spare but already wired in 1mm cable to a junction box in the loft, where it stays...

My annual renewal subscription for Norton Anti Virus is due within the next fortnight. My broadband is supplied by Virgin Media as part of the TV/Phone/Broadband package. They, Virgin, will supply a complete security system for free due to my level of broadband with them. It is called PC...

I am answering from a consumer's view. We have delivered every month a Look Local magazine, nothing flash, seems to be produced on a PC but plenty seem to advertise in it. As it says all local tradespeople advertise in it. Most of my friends round here and at the local pub make use of it...

Whilst I would not disagree with the above but my own system lasts far longer than the 8/10 minutes mentioned. Thinking about it, it is a mixer shower, and the shower allows the water out at 38 degrees, whereas the hot water in the tank is at 65 degrees. I dont know how much cold has to be...

Thanks chaps I right clicked on what seemed a double blue band along the bottom of the screen except it was on the side, if you know what I mean. A title "graphics" appeared and when highlighted it said rotate, clicked on this and it said normal; 90o, 180o, 270o. Clicked normal and hey presto...

I am not a plumber but have found myself in this position several times. I hold the body of the valve tight, and just tighten up the nut on the inflow nut to the valve. Usually it moves just slightly but enough to re-crush the olive (technical term :roll: ) and the leak ceases.
