Hi, These have been fit and are all working great, there are no leaks from the flexis. The only slight issue is the rubber washers that go between the underside of the basin and the back nut, didn't quite seem large enough. One of the taps gets a very slight (and I mean slight!) bit of...

Hi all, I'm intending on fitting a shower screen to my bath; I've marked approx. 40mm inside from the edge of the bath. The problem is we have tile edging around the bath and I need to cut into this as shown in the picture so that the shower screen wall channel will be flush with the bath...

Hi guys, Thanks a lot for the advice, it's really helpful. Are these flexible tails not very reliable? I have read some comments on the 'net from plumbers saying they shouldn't be used etc. My bath taps seem to have some fitted and they've been fine.. for at least 4 years + I do have...

Hi, I would like to replace my bathroom sink taps. I have purchased the taps and all of the tools I might require. The taps are a standard brass 1/2" fitting. I have 15mm copper pipe coming from an isolation valve as seen here; It then goes up to the tap as seen here; I would...

Hi guys, Thanks a lot - some great advice on this forum. I've gone ahead and ordered all of the fasteners. I was doing some research into how to finish the wooden slats, is it recommended to use 2-3 coats of "Yacht oil"? The wood is just softwood pine I think. Want it to look nice...

Hi JohnD, Thank you for the great advice, I'll go with A2 stainless steel all round.. what kind of non-seize spray or lube should I use, do you have a link to some? The nuts are on the underside of the bench so I'll just use regular ones, I'll use hex head bolts to be seen from the top...

Hi, I need to order some fasteners for a garden bench I am renovating. The original bolts, washers and nuts are completely rusted up.. I was originally considering A4 stainless steel replacements, but now I'm thinking that brass might look better.. this will be the most expensive option...

Hi, I've had a Gas Safe registered heating engineer come and look at the boiler today. He took the front panel off, looked around, then took top panel off. He said that the main heat exchanger needs replacing and would cost £400-£500 for the part alone, and even if I could get one he...

Hi, Thanks for the replies! Yeah when we first had problems with the boiler I did some research and quickly found out it was a total lemon! The boiler and majority of radiators, pipework etc was done by Warmfront. I did wonder if there was a lot of sludge in the system; we had problems...

Hi all, Had issues with our Ideal Isar HE30 Combi Boiler about 10 months ago, plastic diverter cartridge part no. 174200 needed replacing as when you ran the hot taps, the radiators were getting hot. Struggled to get a plumber at the time to do it and basically since then the hot taps have...

Ok so I pulled the diverter valve pin forwards with a pair of pliers and run the DHW but still the same... rather alarmingly the pressure gauge spun round and 'clicked' so I turned the boiler off then! The original diverter valve head now seems to be stuck in the opposite position to before...

I've took off the diverter valve head, the white lever on the side of it won't move at all - it's stuck facing the rear. Inside where the spring attached to the white lever rests is a metal spindle, this is covered in a layer of black sludge. Put the new diverter valve head on and still...

How do I check the shaft? Do I need to depressurise or drain the boiler?

Have I got the wrong bit then? I thought it was the head that needed changing. That's the part I've got, it's a VC6012-34
