OOPS! Ignore that last post. I see that the Ebay item you refered to has everything needed so is good to go. Thanks for your help!

[/url] Brilliant! Thanks! One final question. I've just ordered that very faceplate you linked to from Ebay.I've been looking up the modular jacks to fit it but there are so many and I am worried I'll buy one that won't fit. Is there a particular type I should be looking for?

Thanks for that. I wondered about the filtering bit. What sort of faceplate for my router to connect to do I need? All the faceplates I've seen that have a socket for the RJ11 cable have been filtered sockets?.

Hi there. I have been having problems with unreliable ADSL broadband due to what I have finally narrowed down as a poor extension socket where I need to have my Router plugged in. If I plug my router into my master socket I get much improved speeds and reliability whereas if it's plugged into...

Thanks for your help Dan. All the radiators have finally successfully heated up and the pump is quiet now too. Thanks again! Geoff.

One more thing (sorry). After bleeding the pump valve, it is now rather noisy. I bled it with the system running - was that right? If I bleed the valve again, air seems to escape a little then some drips of water then a little air, then drips and so on. Whilst the valve is open the pump noise...

Thanks Dan, I thought it may be air. I now have a few random hot radiators. We have 3 floors. None of the ground floor are hot. A couple on first floor and most of 2nd floor. Am trying what you suggested and have shut off all the hot ones.

Not sure what that is but my radiators are mains water fed (water tank in loft).

Hi danny, thanks for your reply. A friend of mine just suggested air in the pump. I just loosened the centre screw and a load of air blew out then water so I closed it again. The pump kicked in and now the boiler has fired up. The upstairs rads are now hot but the downstairs are stone cold?

Hi there. I managed to drill through the plastic pipework that feeds one of my radiators. I have fixed the pipework (pushfit joint) and refilled the radiators (by bleeding them from downstairs upwards). Now the boiler won't stay on to heat the radiators when I ask it to via the thermostat. It...

Thanks very much for the info i'll look into it. Thanks numpty, i'll try that.

Thanks for the replies! The trouble with the spring toggles is that there is no room to use a screwdriver to tighten them, only room for a spanner. Unless there's a fancy gadget out there?!

Hello! I have just installed a new basin in my bathroom but it's not attached to the wall strongly enough. The reason is because it's attached to a tiled plasterboard wall with large cavity behind and the fixings which were recommended by my local plumber's merchants (These...

Thanks for the help (most of you). All done and working fine.

Thanks Nige but I think you haven't read the thread ;) I've done the work myself but have a question (see the post above yours). Any help appreciated!

Update! I've replaced the shower with no problems (touch wood!). I was just wondering what the best way is of water-proofing the areas around where the pipes come through the tiles? Here's a photo of what I mean (sorry abut quality - taken with my mobile): As you can see there are 2...

Thanks Chris, Tricky and bahco. I'll take the old one off and see what I'm left with. If it looks good to go, I'll have a bash at it myself. I'll report back in due course (especially if I run into any difficulties!) Thanks again for all your help. It's much appreciated.

Cheers Bahco, I thought as much. I'm thinking of doing it myself. My broken shower is a Triton Combi HP thermostatic mixer. Details here: http://www.alertelectrical.com/upload/pdf/218hp.pdf What if I were to replace it with a standard valve mixer? Do they all have a standard distance...

My mixer shower has fallen apart. How much can I expect to be charged for a plumber to raplace it for a new one? I'll buy the replacemnent shower before hand and it will be a like for like replacement.

OK thanks. Why would they put 2 hours in the manual?
