Hi I'm looking to merge the toilet and bathroom and move a bedroom door in order to reduce the size of the landing and gain space in the bathroom. Means knocking down one 3' * 3' L shape and one 3' * 3' * 3 U shape (reducing the size of a large airing cupboard). Walls are not load bearing -...

Well both tanks were empty when I started filling so the loft tank outlet will have been uncovered - so plenty of opportunity to gulp air. That said the pipe run is a short horizontal then a vertical drop to the immersion inlet - not much opportunity for air locks, but you never know. Loft tank...

Oops - double post

Forgot to say - poked my finger in the inlet and nothing obstructing there. Yes vent re-connected (used most of the same pipework) - trapped air in the tank did cross my mind, but nothing happened when I undid the outlet (can't get much more venting than that).

Moved the immersion tank (eco 7 electric only) today - about 3 foot sidewards and turned the loft tank 90 degrees to make plumbing it back in easier. On completion let the loft tank fill slowly and checked for leaks - all good - so started tiding up while monitoring. After a while I notice...

Sounds suspiciously like programmer is wired wrong (but perhaps not if old programmer was also playing up it could be something at the boiler end) what connections did he tell you to make from programmer to boiler?

Valve has V4073A1039 on one end, it's about 25 years old with no dimple, but once you lift the cover off there are 4 screws (the ones I tried unscrewing - but got drip from between the valve and the head so did back up).

Can you remove the head without draining the system? Heating's playing up this evening, quickly narrowed it down to no output on the orange wire (and all works fire if you hot-wire the boiler to the thermostat output). Look like a new head is needed, so I just tried losening the screws...

Hi all We have a full size adult baptistery under the floor at Church (9ft * 5ft * 4ft deep) - was was once very large but at somepoint has been reduced in size by the addition of two new walls inside the exisiting ones which are nicely concrete rendered (as is the floor) and in good...

Breezer After deleining e-mails did you try Tools->Options->Maintenance_>Clean-Up Now->Compact Deleting e-mails doesn't reduce the size of the dbx file, not until you tell it to compact the files.

If you are not using the computer, let it turn the monitor(s) off altogether and save a few trees. So you are sat there watching the screen saver! Methinks you might need a life :lol:

The penny farthing just reminded me, does this car not have neutral 8)

Any chance of carefully cutting a diagonal slot in it (with a hacksaw blade), putting a screwdriver in the slot and twisting to expand/break it (if you see what I mean). Better to deliberately butcher the part you are going to replace than break the connector on the shower unit.

That's no sleeving - it's the yellow that's been cut from the three core on the left :o

Seen double sockets with bell wire before - but coax is a new one.

I always get my Vauxhall batteries from my local main dealers - for some reason their genuine batteries are very cheap (£30-£35 for a vectra normally). Far cheaper than 3rd party shops.

Well I never :D

4.5in angle grinder?

Is the (their) stop cock in your kitchen fully open or only partially open. Partially open stop cocks can be noisy (as the water rushes through the restriction).

If by double thinkness you mean two layers. Simply trim the layer at the back to allow the lugs to grip the top layer only.
