Doing a bathroom in 1960s flat this week, been doing plumbing, penny didn't drop with nrv on vent, arrow pointing into the cold water tank. Drained the cold water tank, re plumbed the bathroom, Refilled, got everything working, no leaks, lovely. Turned the valves off, hot and cold to deal...

Hi, Why would a non return valve be fitted on the vent just before the cws on a direct cylinder? Cheers

Thanks all, I didn't think it was the best route but a means to an end. I'll get the model and take the cover off and have a look, I need to get my meter out and test the rcd before I do anything anyway.

Hello, Have a 16th ed cu (half rcd) I need the upstairs lights to be rcd protected. It's quite an old board so don't think I can get a rcobo for it. Would it be deemed acceptable to cut the busbar at supply to said mcb, provide a appropriate size link cable from rcd to mcb? Then swop...

No

Gurgling drains where they didn't before normally means a blockage of some kind.

If your opening the bleed port and nothing's coming out, you have a problem with blocked filter, fuel to low or a fire valve has popped.

Clean all water away from the area then wait and systematically run your finger over each joint in turn to find out where it's coming from. The water maybe running back( or forward) from the leak.

I'm guessing it has a dipstick for the auto box? Modern autos don't.

Yes but your missing the point, just don't stuff to much at the egdes or you will block the ventilation from the eaves.... Which is very important..(that you don't)

Only does it in netural with the clutch up? Stop start won't activate if the engine is cold, battery is low or any other high power loads are switched on. (Heated rear window)

True but v5 isn't proof of ownership. As long as you both have a receipt. But I can't see people liking doing it to be fair.

The tax information will stay on the system until dvla receive the v5 to change owners. I guess one way round it would to do a deal with the seller/new owner, not to send off the v5 till near the end of the month. I haven't taxed my new van yet as its still taxed till June, (previous...

So the boilers firing and the pipes get hot? What about in the airing cupboard.

Measure half the area you want to tile and measure out from this and cut, finish on edge with tile trim.

So what would happen to the compression in that cylinder is the valves never open? Isn't it a waste of energy to compress it if it doesn't need to? Surly it would be far easier to stop the injector firing fuel and just opening a second valve/valves to stop compression.

Been around for years, I had a fluke meter that did it.

Get the alternator checked. Volt meter on battery with engine running circa 14v shows its charging the battery.

Beg, borrow or steal some acrows... Quick.!
