It is the Classic SE - FF. According to the literature it has a thermostat, thermostat control and thermistor.

I imagine there is a fault on the thermostat of my Ideal Standard Classic boiler. When on max it was overheating and I have lowered the setting to 4 and it works OK. That is obviously only a tempory measur till it is mended. What I don't understand is that where it used to click before closing...

Just noticed someone nicked the l from my boiler. Seriously do you think it could be something as simple as that. Do the fans in these boiler develop funny noises with age?

Can any of you guys identify what is causing an annoying habit my boier has recently developed. The boier is a 2 year old Ideal Classic. Whilst heating it has a 2 a second tapping noise which can also be heard through the rads (mainly the first / nearest) Not so much a problem as an irritation...

Does anything exist that you can paste round a compression fitting that may help if it springs a leak. I have a compression fitting on the top of a copper pipe from which a shower head is fitted. This compression fitting for whatever reason came slightly loose and leaked. Because this was all...

I have chased out part of the hall wall which is damp and exposed the fitting at the top of the copper tube that connects to the shower head. Unfortunately to get access to tighten etc. would mean taking tiles off. However I was would ask a plumber if he could pick up the feed under the bath...

What guarantee should I expect on a new bathroom installation. I have a leak in the pipework behind a shower head that has only now become apparent 2 years after the installation. The obvious damage to the plaster in the hall has only just been noticed although the leak may have been there for...

How can I remedy it then please.

When the hammer occurs no water is drawn from the tank only from the mains

Since I've had a new copper cylinder and mains water feed to it and the tanks in the loft I have had water hammer. It is caused by the washing machine valves and occurs in the pipework just before the cylinder. I think it only occurs when the WM is filling with cold but hammers in the pipework...

They are definitely radials although the fact that they are in a group of five single fused spurs and I can see both of the feeds one to 3 spurs and the other to 2 it would be easy to just complete the ring. The only problem I see with the ring is if on holiday and the MCB goes off then I lose...

What blew was where the wire was connected at the top of the 30A fuse. It had been there for 20 years and I assumed may have become slightly loose and if ( I cannot say now as I have temp. rewired) the WM and TD were on one of the radials the current at the time would have been high as they were...

The wired fuse CU blew today and necessetated a new one be fitted. It was supplying my utility room and unbeknown to me a 30A fuse had 2 radials supplying washing machine and freezer. It had lasted 20 years but the 30A fuse holder blew out and the back has gone as well. I intend putting in a...

Thanks one and all. As was last said, I was looking in the wrong place and have now found the knurled nut that goes through the waste. Tightened and job done. I was near to going out and buying a sink plug, again many thanks.

I've found the joint to which you can adjust the length of the two rods. The thing is whatever length I make the vertical length it still makes too much upward push to keep the plug in. It is though something has changed on the plug, not enough suction (or whatever) to stay down.

There is nothing along the push rod. The two rods are connected by a swivel clip. The upward pressure on the pop up seems high and it is hard to see how the pop up stayed down, is it suction?

Help, I cant get the pop up in my bathroom basin to stay down. The new bathroom has been installed for 6 months and this has started to happen. The pop up plug just pops up with the weight of the trigger (thats what I call it) How do I adjust it if it was working before. Do I have to put lead...

Yes they are fitted. Should this pump not be audible from underneath if mounted on the upstrairs floorboards then?

Are the flexi hoses fitted to the Monsoon able to contract / shorten to accomodate that 50mm. or does the system have to be re-plumbed.

Any suggestions on how to quieten shower pump. I have Monsoon 2 Bar positive standing on the floor of the airing cupboard next to the cylinder etc. The noise in the bedroom is passable but downstairs in the lounge it's inbearable. BTW it is a new installation. any ideas welcome.
