I've inspected the washer but it looks fine? Also, it is contained within the valve as per 1st pic, so how would I ever replace it? I'm pretty sure the cable isn't sticking Any other ideas?

Hi, I managed to fit a new 'Fluidmaster 400UK' cable dual flush cistern back in February. Everything fine until recently when we thought we had a ghost! Toilet flushing by itself - anyway, have turned off water, and the whole cistern has slowly drained back into the pan. It must be leaking...

Neighbour gone away for weekend so cant take a pic, have been looking for images on google & found something similar, having trouble putting the image on here thou?

Am trying to help my elderly neighbour out - thought it would be a simple, replace washer type of job, but can't even remove top of tap! It is a smaller, older style basin tap, but it doesn't have the decorative bit on top to take off hiding the screw? Towards the bottom of the tap, there...

OK, so have finally managed to fix the drip :D But, I keep having a look just to make sure, and I have noticed that there is an incredible amount of condensation on the cistern, so much in fact, that it is slowly dripping onto the floor! I am assuming that this is due to the whole cistern...

What is this called?

Thanks, will try that

LOL!

Hi, the only washer present is the rubber ones replacing the previous rubber one. I've checked & the pipe & inlet do appear to be in-line I possibly may have over-tightened? I can't do any more this evening & back to work myself tomorrow but will try again tomorrow night & let you know Thanks

Hi, Do you mean the new plastic inlet pipe? It certainly doesn't look damaged - I've also tried with & without PTFE

My cistern hasn't been flushing properly for ages & actually stopped altogether so, after reading loads of info on here decided to do it myself and try to save a little money. I successfully drained, & replaced the syphon, donut washer etc, and put cistern back together (close coupling) My...

Hi, I am hoping to lay a laminate floor in our lounge. The room is the coldest room is the house, and so I was thinking about under floor heating mats. B&Q came & measured up, & gave me a quote for the job, but I have decided to get a known & trusted carpenter in to do the job. B&Q...

They're in my lounge, and I really need them to be on a dimmer control?

Hi, My OH's mate has installed new 12 x 50w halogen downlights. These are connected to a 2 gang dimmer switch, the other switch operates a low voltage light in the hallway. The chap did say that we would need to upgrade the switch to cope with 600w as the existing switch was only for 250w...

Hi, My upstairs loo keeps overflowing. It continually drips until level of water in cistern overflows. I have replaced the washer, have adjusted the arm of the ballcock to different levels, but, it continues to drip. Do you think I should now look at replacing the whole thing? Thank you

Thanks for that, have phoned Telewest & they have arranged to send me a set-up disc. When you mentioned about re-loading the system, do you mean me using the red disc? Thanks

Hi, the red disk is a system restore disk which will take ALL my settings back to factory. Don't really want to do this as although I don't have a lot of files saved, I wouldn't know how to re-load ISP settings (Blueyonder), they sent someone around to install in the first place & I don't have...

Hi, still having major problems - only way of getting on-line is actually connecting my laptop to the router with a cable. I finally managed to do a system restore on my desktop PC, hoping this may fix some problems, however, unable to get on-line at all. Unable to access e-mails too. I...

Thanks all, have completely lost internet connection now (currently using laptop) I looked at above link, and ran 'scanreg' but all I got was a message stating Registry has backed up already today, would you like to back it up again? Unable to type in scanreg/restore I was able to start...
