Many thanks. I'm a bit concerned getting the old one off might be a pain. It's been there since we moved here 19 years ago. I've used JG fittings and Hep in the past. I know Hep require a tool to remove but wasn't sure about this one as never seen it. Don't want to force it if a tool is...

I think the one I'll be trying to remove is Toolstation product 30488. Not sure if it requires a tool to remove though.

Need to be careful not to damage the copper pipe though. Not much to play with

Something tells me, after 20 years this might be tricky to remove

JG method is to pull the red ring towards the black body I believe?

Hi, Am going to be replacing this pushfit connector and hose due to a leak on the valve screw. Am familiar with the John Guest fittings and how they are disconnected but never seen one like this which must be at least 20 years old. See attached pic. It has a red collar but no idea of brand...

Yeah, bungs are a good shout. Thanks

Is there anything else a can squirt over the top to seal it like silicon sealant?

I know. They're bloody annoying.... Need to drain the header tank to fix now....

Switched off the screw head type inline isolation valve to do a fix on my toilet. But when turned back on again (or even on off position) it weeps. Ptfe tape is not an option as not feasible to put on, so out off desperation just covered i it fernox lsx in the hope the very slow dripping will...

Good shout re leaving drawer open. Makes complete sense. Thanks

Thanks. Will give that a go

Fair enough. I'm not so worried about speed as just creating a backup archive in case my original gets destroyed. Only reason I was thinking about ssd as there's no moving parts, hence have better longevity. Plan would be to write to it once to fill it up with my photos etc and store away...

Thank you but I can get the drawer out. It's the holes that are in the machine in the top part of the cavity where the drawer is from that is blocked.

Our Zanussi washing machine conditioner tray is not emptying as the holes above where the water sprays through are constantly getting blocked. Poke something in the holes now and then to clear it but that only fixes it for a few washes. Looks like a build up of black gunk around those holes on...

Are these mechanical hard disks or sdd? Was thinking about going for the more expensive sdds as apparently they are more reliable and last longer. Thanks

A Agreed. Have backups on magnetic disk type hdds but thought another non mechanical solution would be good. Ssds are a bit pricey though

That's a shame. Need to spend more now and buy an ssd

Thanks. Surprised they can get away with that on ebay.

As a cheap solution to store photos etc, was considering buying a couple of cheap 2TB USB flash sticks (less than £10) each. E. G...
