    Low water pressure in bathroom....

    Bathroom tap is probably ment for higher pressure systems. Replacing with a low pressure tap should improve things. The shower should have a mains cold piped in. Unless its an electric power shower?

    Hemp.

    Yeah when running heating/chilled water in barrel always provided with hemp and boss white. Its cheap and does the job. Shouldn't be used on potable water services though. I couldn't explain in typing how I hemp up a fitting/pipe. Its obviously not hard but there is a little technique. Maybe...

    Whats your most useful tool??

    I bought a set of smooth jaw grips years ago, made by Channellock. They sit in an old toolbag with all the other garbage I won't ever use! And I don't know if you can class it as a tool, but a pencil behind my ear! If I don't have a pencil to hand I lose the plot! Marker pens don't work...

    sub contracting

    I know theres a fair bit of sub-contracting work happening in and around London, which is obviously far for you but if the money is right.... Boiler swaps or rip out old system in place of a combi, either to be finished in a day. Think most are looking for 2 man teams though. Try KFB...

    Adjustable Spanners

    Hey guys, Been using Bahco adjustables since I started my career a few years back. I bought a new set of the 8" wide jaws and noticed that they wasn't as good as the ones I bought say around 2005. They seem to lock up etc. Anyway I noticed that IREGA have got a set of 8" wide jaws out...

    Citroen Berlingo HDI Van (not starting)

    Hello John, I asked the mechanic today whether it might be the fuel pump. But he said its definitely not the pump. I mean the van is starting now so surely it can't be something severe? Or am I dreaming? I just thought now that its starting and its back to the intermittent fault its going...

    Citroen Berlingo HDI Van (not starting)

    Well visited him and the poorly Berlingo today. He now believes the ECU to be fine, as its starting fine now! But it still has its moments of not starting. He now believes the problem to lie with either the injectors or the wiring loom. Both rather notey items to start replacing ! With brand new...

    Citroen Berlingo HDI Van (not starting)

    I'm not sure if he's a citroen specialist. He has serviced my van, and I've noticed he works on other Berlingos + Partners, so assume he knows his stuff. The thing with ECU is that he fitted one from another van and it still wouldn't start :?
