right been and tried this nut wouldn't even budge to tighten. So my big long list of questions still stand :lol: but now another one. If its leaking from there is it because of the olive? As I've said I'm not cutting pipe so if I can't use the old one I ain't doing it. Years ago when I...

Hello all, Have posted a couple of times regarding stuff I have done in my house and the mothers and I am also a saddo that reads most posts on here as I find plumbing really interesting! Anyway after help on here I changed a radiator valve on my mums microbore/combi boiler system after...

We've had builders in doing work and they fitted a kitchen including a new tap. Its not a monoblock I don't think as its got a rectangular body where the water connects and the spout sits on top of that. Anyway the spout, not the unit itself is loose and you can wobble it, it doesn't leak...

is it ok just to bend it up then? When I told somebody i'd bent the original one down I got a telling off!

the float valve went in our old toilet a few months back so we bent the arm abit then all was well until this weekend when it started leaking again. I've changed them like for like (portsmouth I think they are called?) and adjusted the float as far up the arm as it will go to increase the water...

i thought/hoped that would be the case!

it stopped after about an hour and had nothing since. Checked the tank and the level was fine in there.

In the new year we're going to put a heated towel rail in the bathroom so as per advice we've part drained the system and put x400 into the f+e tank. Tank filled up/radiators bled and all ok but now we are getting a trickling water sound in the rads upstairs is this normal or do I need to...

it was the time clock. Had reverted to timer rather then continuous. Thanks for the help

hi guys my mother has had a power cut lasting around about 2 hours. Her potterton promax HE worked fine before this but is now not igniting. I told her to reset for 5 seconds - nothing and then turn it off/on. This got a little hot water but then nothing and is now showing an error code of...

quick question having got into this plumbing lark I was chatting with a friend he has a combi and the diverter valve was a diagnosed fault. I thought if you had to take off the boiler casing you had to be rgi and as the diverter is within the boiler this would be the case. He says not as gas...

my mother got a £60+vat charge on a cold rad that i've asked about. He did everything I did, decided as was already concluded that there was a blockage and that I could but x400 in! That was a bit of a pi$$er

can think of the mess now with the hammer and chisel! The soil stack will be a new plastic one btw

if i was to hire one, could i then use this to cut the soil stack or would I just use a combi drill for this?

Am ripping out my bathroom which is poorly designed - bath and basin wastes terminate out of the wall at the same point so the bath one actually has a rise in it!! I am looking to drill directly out for the bath waste and then drop it onto a new soil stack. I've only got a cheap drill and...
