Great now all fixed, thank god for the internet. I read somewhere when I searched my problem on google that just take the Orange thingy (which turned out to be a supressor) out and it will work fine. All it does is to stop interference when your watching TV or listening to the radio...

I need to use some 32mm Waste pipe not for a plumbing job but for a hobby project. I do not need to join any of it together so I am not bothered about Pushfit or solvent weld. All i want to know is what is the stonger of the two? and are they the same thickness? I am hoping its the...
