You think right, Doctor Lenny. Wish I could do likewise. Thanks very much. :wink:

Call me an imbecile but in trying to deactivate Automatic Numbered Lists and the Automatic Auto Bulleted Lists in the Tools > AutoCorrrect feature, I seem to have invoked a setting that produces a margin and has set all text to be printed in red and underlined. :shock: As a result have been...

Very good points, chaps. Thanks for your advice...I will pass this info on to the neighbour. :)

Anybody come across this kind of water heater before? My neighbour seems intent on having one fitted yet I am unable to find any information details as there seems to be no available website. Apart from the Dani another company that makes something similar is Marey who I think are based in the...

That is the next step though access to the shop itself would normally be at the freeholder's discression. They certainly have but in the main a copy of the policy schedule has not been forthcoming. Obtaining confirmation of cover from the insurance company can be very difficult if not the...

You might consider this though, Bylough...it's a quote from LJK Setright a motoring journalist (sadly now passed on): Don't actuall agree with the first line, but interesting, nonetheless. :wink:

Sorry guys, let me fill in a few more details. The shop is owned by the freeholder of the building which includes a flat which is occupied by a family. There has been a pretty acrimonious dispute which relates to the buildings insurance cover for which the freeholder is responsible. A...

Hutty, you might find it useful to look at this site: Honest John Just select the model you are interested in. Click on the car-by-car breakdown. I have re-edited the original post as it gave some misleading info. Must say that I agree with your preference for chains over belts as does HJ...

This installation looks to be unsafe. It is there to provide a supply to an unused shop the owner of which seems pretty unconcerned as to any problems ti might constitute. As not being conversant with the prevailing leccy legislation I wonder if anybody could give me some advice as to what the...

I think it was purchased from The Bath Store and I gues it is of British manufacture. I will give it a go with hemp and silicone. Thanks for the advice, guys. :wink:

Ever had a pop-up waste that that fails to sit square in an appliance? :oops: I am going out of my mind trying to get this item fitted to a bidet. First of all when fitting the top half of the waste (with washer for flange) and then attaching lower half of the waste body upon tightening as...

Thanks very much for your help, chaps. :wink:

No, it seems pretty dry at the joint; it's just on the washers (now large) and tapered plugs where the seepage occurrs. I'll give it some 785. Thanks again, Bahco. :wink:

Have replaced the original washers for larger ones and have tightened the wing nuts as much as I dare but I am still getting a small leak either side. This is driving me insane. Any further advice , Bahco, or anyone? :(

Nice idea, Bahco. I'll try the bigger washers. Thanks. :wink:

I have tried repeatedly to secure a new close coupled WC, but am continually getting a leak which runs down each the screws that hold the cistern to the WC. They are the type that have a tapered rubber washer held in place by a steel washer, with steel butterfly nuts at the base. I have...

Here we go again. Thanks Nige. :wink:

I need to fit a levered mixer tap to a bathroom basin. The tap comes with flexible connectors which are about 8mm wide. As the water supply is from a cistern is it likely that the water will drip rather than flow? On the base of the taps they have '8mn' embossed if this means anything...

Thanks guys. I will try to get a suitable coupler from the plumbers' merchants. If not available I will try heating it. Cheers. :wink:

Anybody have any suggestions for being able to adapt a length Osma overflow pipe to the overflow standpipe in the WC. The usual stuff (21.5mm) is slightly smaller than Osma. Does a coupler exist that brings the two sizes together. Is it plausible to connect the standard size pipe into an Osma...
