    shower pump with a bath/shower mixer

    One other point to mention is that the diagram above is wrong in relation to where the cold feed has been taken from the cold water storage tank. It has been taken from directly under where the ball valve fills into the tank. This will cause an air and water vortex to be drawn directly into the...

    Fiat grande punto 56 plate

    Daft question but how the f**k do you take it out. I have the panel off the passenger side but all there is, is a liquid bottle? Cant figure it out - will end having half the car dismantled!

    Kitchen Pipe Leak

    I would try to avoid silicone if possible, the pipe would need to be super dry to allow the silicone to seal and you wouldn't actually be sealing the pipe, just putting a shroud around the pipe. Plus if it still leaks it will be a nightmare to try and repair at a later date with dried rubber...

    Fiat grande punto 56 plate

    My other half has a Fiat Grande Punto 56 plate - the heating fan/blower inside the car has failed. It was working but used to cut out as if it was getting stuck and if the passenger kicked the centre console under the dash it used to come back on slowly, kick again and it wound itself up and...

    Ideal Boxer C28 boiler losing pressure

    yes defiantly check the expansion vessel and see what pressure is in there, if you pressed the pin you should have had a puff of air come come out. Get a gauge and pump and hopefully thats all it is. Make sure you turn electrics off. Dont want to say too much more or ill get shouted at from the...

    Ideal Boxer C28 boiler losing pressure

    Just read the last part of your post about heating going up 2.5bar. That is too much. it would be worth checking the pressure in the expansion vessel. If its not that then it would be worth contacting a gas fitter. regards

    Kitchen Pipe Leak

    It looks like its going behind the kitchen unit and a clear small amount of liquid is usually synonymous with a condensate pipe. Have a look at the pipework leaving your boiler and see if there is the same pipe leaving the boiler. i would almost put money on it, but just almost

    Kitchen Pipe Leak

    Its possibly your condensate pipe from your boiler, you would need trace it back as best you can to determine this. If it is your condensate it must terminate into a waste or gully. The only real safe way to repair this is to renew the plastic pipe and fittings. Personally i wouldn't try to seal...

    Would you have a condensing combi/system boiler in the kitchen by any chance?

    Lead supply pipe renewal.

    I imagine if you were to lay the pipe yourself and get it into your property where it needs to be and close to the outside stop tap a plumber would be happy enough to hook up for you. cheers

    Lead supply pipe renewal.

    Usually, after the stop tap, will be your responsibility. It might be time to get a spade out and start digging a trench and put some alkathene in. the material wont be too expensive and you will save a fortune if you dig the trench yourself. cheers

    Thats actually a very valid point! :lol:

    stop cock

    There is nothing wrong with opening the nut a quarter of a turn, if that, to see how much pressure is there. Obviously don't loosen the nut so much that it comes away from the fitting and you cant put it back on again! A little bit of common sense is required!

    stop cock

    Good afternoon, it looks like the jumper/washer may have stuck to the seating or if there is a non-return valve in the stoptap that may be sticking. I would crack the nut open on the incoming side of the tap and see if there is much pressure there. If there is, turn the water off...
