Hmm - lol - well I'll give it a go - though surely there must be a reason why it's started doing it in the first place?

Hello, I have a dehumidifer (brand Amcor, Qt120) which has developed a fault. I want to see if it's fixable before buying a new one. At the bottom of the unit there is a small pipe, which looks like some kind of overflow or drip pipe. For some reason, when we operate the unit, the collected...

I came here for constructive advice on the best solution, but I give up. Not many of you seem capable of it. Snide comments and criticisms don't really help me. For what it's worth, someone is coming saturday moning. I just wanted some help in deciding the best way forward.

Fine but please tell me what you advise - remember I'm not an expert, and am trying to get this sorted, and want constructive comments!

Ok finally I can offer you some better info - photos! Here are three pics of the existing boiler... http://www.geocities.com/ghall12345/index_old.html And three pics of the spare HE I have which I hope to use... http://www.geocities.com/ghall12345/index_new.html The leak does seem...

Where are the seals? And don't say at the South Pole... I'll try and take some photos maybe, and post a link to them. Then people can stop guessing and give some sound advice!

You jest, but I do love those quick fixes, and was wandering if there was a way of fixing this leak from the outside, spraying on etc... Maybe I could get a welder in :)

Blimey... > Have you got trv's on at least your bedroom rads? Not sure - all old single rads, quite rusty :( > Have you got a programmer, and room and cylinder thermostats? Yes to all I think > Does your HW cylinder comply with current Building Regs? Doubt it, old and...

Are you able to give any very rough quotes for the two options?

The problem with getting it fixed is finding someone to do the job - no one seems very keen to do it. However they seem keen enough to advise me to get a new boiler :?

Just two of us. I'm not keen on overspending, as we are hoping to move on within a year or two, meaning that we wouldn't really get our money back.

Hello all. I need suggestions on the way forward with our central heating system. We live in a 2-bed 1st floor maisonette. So there are 5 rads and a bathroom with power shower. We currently have a Potterton Suprima 60 which is I believe about 8 yrs old. In the past I have had a few problems -...

:D Trouble is my partner loves the shower curtain as it has dolphins on!! What I need is something like that, but much smaller and triangular...

Hi - I post this is general, as it doesn't really fit into plumbing... In our bathroom we have a bath, with a power shower built onto the wall at the end above the taps. There is a shower curtain which hangs the length of the bath. It doesn't matter how much we play with the curtain, some...

I probably should have tried cleaning it first - I don't suppose I had to re-grout it at all! Oh well I'll give the mould and mildew remover a go. Thanks.

Hiya. 2 years ago I decorated the bathroom and tiled a new shower area. I used Unibond waterproof grout. After some time the grout around the shower went a dirty pink colour. Last weekend I decided to redo the grout, scraped it out as far as the clean stuff and redid it. Now after only a...

Misunderstanding... the adjustment on the rod is for where the water lever stops when it refils. This is working fine. The problem is, even after that, a small amount of water very very slowly still gets let in, so eventually the water level reaches the overflow. Like I say not a major...

Hi... I'm not sure if I can. This is the valve I have installed... http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/product/product.jsp?CATID=86735&entryFlag=false&PRODID=23694 ...and I need to reread the instructions but I don't recall anything about that.

Well I kind of got there in the end, 7pm last night. I found the donut washer, fitted that. And for all the leaks, well in the end I just gave them some welly (despite the fact that the instruction manuals keep stressing 'do not overtighten - hand tight only')....once I got a decent spanner...

Hmmm. Makes sense Graham - but I don't recall there being any such 'donut' washer when I took it off... I'll go look but I'm pretty sure. Any plumbers in north london?!
