I have a koi over a foot long. I have been losing goldfish on a regular basis and blamed a heron seen in the area. It's not cats as we have a Tom who's not interested but keeps other cats away. Is it conceivable that the Koi could be eating the goldfish?

Thanks very much for your help. :(

I have a 2002 Skoda 1.9tdi ie a volkswagen engine. Can anybody tell me whether the vaves are interference or not ie will the pistons hit the valves if the belt snaps. I've had conflicting sories. Cheers. :?

Texmex, thanks for your answer, a strong possibility and very entertaining too. Cheers

You're right they are all earthed but the real way is to earth both the S/O and the box. Not much to do it right.

I'm not a CH fitter or plumber but if this is a combi there should be a filling valve. It usually has a braided pipe connected to it. Crack this open and the pressure should increase. Consult your hand book or web site to see what it should be, usually 1-1.5 bar.

This will take some explaining. I'v got an en-suite bathroom and a main bathroom. The main bathroom has just been re-furbished. There is no external vent to either, formally a drago valve in the en-suite, now a drago in both. On occassion (regular but not every time) when the en-suite is used...

Thanks kevplumb

Can somebody please clarify something cocerning the above. I live in a detached property, about 20 yrs old. It has only ever had the above installed regarding bathroom (2 off) wastes. It does not have an external vent. Due to odours, I queried this over the phone with the local council building...

thanks very much Chrishutt, glad I checked now. :roll:

Mainly for kevplumb but any advice appreciated. Anti syphon trap has plastic disc inside ASD when top taken off. Should this be removed, and should the top be screwed hand tight or left loosish?

Thanks for that Kevplumb, and your prompt response.

Having had a new bath installed, it unfortunately had a shallow p trap fitted. Flushing the toilet syphons water out of the trap, causing smells. Unfortunately not enough room to fit standard P trap or bottle A/S trap. I've fitted an in-line non return valve which has helped but not cured...

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for prompt reply. I'll try that.Cheers.

Have doubts about a new AAV. It's fitted correctly. Is there a minimum height above the main soil run that it should be for suitable operation or should it just be above the soil. This one is about four inches above a very close toilet flush. The basin goes into the main discharge below this. Is...

I'm no plumber but when my daughter had a combi installed the plumber advised me how to set the correct pressure (1-1.5 bar usually), he said if you leave the filling valve (on the silver braided pipe usually) open it will overflow. Is it open just a crack. Like I said I'm NOT a plumber.

Kevplumb, the lip looks to be intentional ie smooth and about 3/8ths of an inch. As you put your finger through the flush inlet hole you can feel it on the inside. Cheers.

Kevplumb what I've got is something like that but it goes staright into a hole at the back of the pan. Is this no good?

Kevplumb, what's a putty cone so I know to avoid it. What the score with this lip. Is it the problem. The problem is the joiner is coming to box in, albeit with reasonable access should there be a problem. Is there any alternative to changing the pan?
