are you sure you need whole dv? If rod is failing to come out or far enough to engage micro switch them you could just replace diaphram. Quite easy to change too.

did the installer not carry out a tightness test prior to working on the gas pipe? If there was a drop this would warrent investigation smell or not. I know reg's say 4mb with no smell of gas. Could isolate appliance's and test again. I have found many leaks that customers have not smelt. I have...

once again i think this thread is a case of people hearing but not listening. Yes i am young and i dont doubt tom is old and wise. But to make comments to the effect that i was born with a silver spoon is out of order. I worked very hard for all that i earned and learnt. This was not just off my...

Wrong and yes i did learn to boss lead. do lead slates and flashing for wall abutments, dressing chimney's doing filter pieces lead box gutter and canopy's. not mention more it was all part of city and guilds trianing. And i am not part of the rip out brigade if cant be fixed and the customer...

ok so its not a close couple cistern so ignore me lol. Sounds like you have a low level cistern with a flush pipe to the pan.

Close coupled cistern (if this type recomend new close-couple kit as well as syphon) High level cistern Low level cistern

yes thats a syphon, but if you cistern sits directly onto the pan it is what is known as a closed couple cistern and is sealed by compression on a flange once taken apart and new new syphon fitted these flange's can leak just as easy t replace as they do not cost much and would save you some hassle.

if you cistern sits directly onto the pan and seperated via 'doughnut' flange then i reccomend you get a close couple kit awell as the syphon.

do you know how a secondary return works? He would need to install a circulation pump which would mean energy usage! Also would need to run timed or on permantly. For the sake of 1 bathroom seems a bit pants. Bronze pump to conform to water reg's (fittings) and all the pipe needed for this...

yea sorry didnt make that clear fit iso before combination valve. :shock: my bad

yea iso can be done. Just be carefull if you iso the cold inlet as once isolated you will need to open a hot tap to release pressure on the hot feed. This can also drop a pressure in the cylinder which requires a drain down and refill to pressurize. This is only on some models.

agreed dan just didnt want shot him down to bad but i agree seems he has just done enough. And when he has his money there's no real incentive other than his pride, word, or rep. Which lets face it as op has detailed seems he couldn't give a rats. Shame! Anyway maggie defo give him the...
