Thanks for the reply .. The water wasn't really high enough for it to go into the overflow.. There was a very light trickle into the bowl and I think I might have made it worse trying to sort it , there's a lot of gunk at the bottom of the flush valve cradle so I think the whole thing will...

Hi guys , hope everyone is doing well as can be .. Thanks to the help on here I've managed to fix one toilet that was leaking into the bowl..I had left it for months before getting help on here and sorting it out. Only problem was that my water bill doubled from 40 to 80pm because of the leak...

Thanks for the replies, the pin isn't stuck out just lifts up and down when I pull on it without any effort and just lifts freely probably 10mm or more, there is no spring action at all .

Hi guys.. Just checked the trv pin on one of my rads and it just lifts up instead of bouncing up and down in a spring motion. The pipe is cold but the other pipe (feed I think) is piping hot and the rad is hot at top and cool at bottom.. Would the pin be the issue if its not springing up and down?

Hi guys , I'm looking at replacing an old radiator in the dining room with a newer on .. I've seen the kudok ones at screwfix and TS. Would you go for the type 21 or 22 radiator. I'm after 900 x 600. My old radiator is 960 x 540 so I'll grab a 60mm radiator extension valve as well. Thanks in...

So far so good , just the one wall to complete tomorrow then we move onto the dining room

No its in my daughters bedroom behind her bed.. Just to break up the room a bit.. The other walls are a rose gold fresco and the brick paper is from the range and colour.

Another quick question guys, for a feature wall which is a brick effect do you always have to start in the middle of the room or can I start at the side?

Thanks johnny

Thanks

Thanks guys.. I think the most the daughter will do is probably help peel off the old paper which is what I'll do, seeing I've got time on my hands . Another thing, would I need to apply lining paper once I get the old stuff off or can I apply straight to wall without any other treatment.. I...

Care to elaborate?

My wife has got me doing several jobs like everyone else under lockdown .. So next is my daughters bedroom that she wants wallpapering.. She's picked out a superfresco paper and the paper on the wall already is a thin paper with a teenage girl theme , loads of Polaroid pics etc . Can I paper...

Update, toilet all sorted .the viva flush nut coupler turned up and fitted.. Job done . Thanks to everyone that contributed..

Thanks guy , few options there for me

I don't think there was a chimney in the wall from what I recall and a hole was knocked through..

Hi everyone , I've got a electric fireplace in the chimney breast in my front room (see pic) that's not working and to be honest we've probably used it once since new over 15 years ago.. So we want rid but what is the easiest way to fill the gap in the wall other than bricking it up . We want to...

Thanks guys .. So far I've bought 2 flush valves and inlet, a rubber coupling and now the viva coupler.. Third time lucky... All to fix a poxy toilet... I'll keep you updated..

Update, I was going to order a new 2in flush valve but ended up ordering a 2in rubber connector as someone else suggested. I realised after I'd ordered the rubber connector that the connector would just connect the flush valve and toilet flush pipe (basically sitting on top of each other) but...

Thank you to everyone that took the time to help me out.. I'm going to return the flush valve kit and order a 2 in as recommended by denso13. Glad I found this forum.. Be safe everyone
