Evening all, been reading some posts tonight with great interest about warm water getting into the cold water storage cistern then overflowing,etc. I understand the mains cold feed/mixer valve back feed scenario and also the pinhole in the coil as well, but one of the reply,s...

Thanks John, I dont think we,ll bother taking the laptop now, the mrs and I are both retired so we go in an apartment quite often, also there are many internet shops where you can get 15 hours for 10 Euros, and unless somebody knows any different, that seems to be the best...

hello everybody, What is the best way to get wireless internet in Spain if we take our own laptop with us when we go on holiday. Thanks.

I suppose the answer then is to leave alone ,dont drain the system. thanks. p.s. I think the glow worm hxi is a good boiler, had the space saver 45-60 in previous property, would love to know what you guys,..the proffesionals think...

Thanks for your advice lads. but every time I switch on after a long lay off(about 4-6 weeks), the red warning light flashes and boiler wont fire. Until I press the reset switch on the flow pipe...

Hello everybody, I live in a bungalow on my own, and I work abroad quite a lot, usually for about 4-6 weeks alternately away then home. Whenever Ive been before, I have allways closed the stop tap inside, as you would. I want to go a step further next time, (mid...

Happy new year to everybody. Im looking to buy a bench grinder, for sharpening drills etc etc. Ive looked at screwfix and machine mart, and the one I prefer so far is the Clarke cbg8rsc........1fine 1coarse wheel, 375watts, £58. What do you think? any views, or other reccomendations are all...

Just a general question lads,........Am I right in assuming, that the closer the return temp is to the flow, the better? As Im writing now, the boiler has been on a few hours, the H.W. is up to temp, rads all ok,...boiler temp on the display is 55c and I have a clip on gauge on the return...

I have a 36x18 h.w.cylinder in the loft, it has the blue insulation all over it, and I have boxed it in with plenty of loft insulation round it......is that just about all I can do to reduce heat loss, or will aluminium foil be better still?

Thanks Slapper, I took a small offcut of the pipe into a few plumbers merchants,.....nobody had a correct push in fit insert, only a slack little hepworth one, infact one place said that because it was class D (thicker walls/smaller I.D.) It didnt a insert. So, the...

I have just changed myinterior stop tap for a new 22mm compression stop tap. The mains pipe is approx 21-21.5mm black alkathene. O.D. I think it is grade D, heavy duty, because the I.D. is only approx 11-1 2mm. I have used 3/4 olive, which was a perfect fit on the alkathene, and thereis...

Thanks Keego, In your experience, does the spindle usually turn easily once u have a good grip, or should I pour some oil or wd on it for 24 hours?

In my previous post I forgot to ask about my outside stopcock in the pavement,.....its about 2ft below the surface, I tried to turn it off, but the little handle just broke, leaving just the square end on the spindle. I,m sure if I get the right size socket adaptor onto it, I will be able to...

Hello everybody, I live in a 1950,s bungalow, and my inside stopcock is leaking slightly along the spindle, also it will not completely close of the water, probably the seal I suppose,as the spindle is easy to turn. The incoming black pipe is alkathene I think and the o/d is approx 21-21.5mm...
