I've got a MacDee 2 part syphon on the van, its their 'D-shape' one I think I got it from plumb center, I remember using it a tiny little cistern a while back, give that a go.

I would hazard a guess that the valve on the filling loop is letting by.

ok cheers will let you know how i get on

thanks, i'll give that a go, but wont the water just get under the tape and still escape ? i did consider using denso but its too "squishy" and will just thin out under pressure from the jubilee...

Well I managed to get a flexseal over the CI but theres a very slow drip coming from the CI end of the sleeve. The surface of the CI is uneven (from rust and paint) so I'm going to go back tomorrow AM and try and smooth it out. I've tried a wire brush, with little effect, I'm going to try...

Hi all, Got called out to a leak on this cast iron branch today. (In a pub toilet - gents 1 1/2" waste going into one of the collars, the other one was "capped off" - cap was actually loose). The 1 1/2" waste was being "held in" the cast iron with silicone, and had come loose. As you...

Just do it like a pro. Use a carrot.

I didn't think his repsonse was particularly sarcy, I thought it was pretty concise! :roll: :lol:

I find using a normal spanner (17 for those nuts I think), then tapping the other end with a hammer usually loosens it up. Careful with the sink though, they're usually quite thin where the tap is and won't take much abuse.

FWIW using proper copper tails on the tap instead of hoses helps with stability.

thanks i'm off to the pub to spend that "clutch money" i'd saved up on jack daniels

Well, the knocking noise came back today for all of 5 minutes then stopped again! Funny thing is, it was also knocking away even when the clutch wasn't depressed. It's been fine since my original post (below). Could it be something else loose near to the clutch perhaps? FWIW it's never...
