You will probably need to install this or this below the branch as the shower waste will be lower than the toliet outlet, the branch will push (or glue, depending on what one you use) into the top of this. Also if there are any windows close to the rising vent part of the stack, you will need...

You should always PVA the walls otherwise it might not take to the wall and end up cracking and falling off

To isolate the water supply to the valve all you need to do is turn off the mains water. With an adjustable spanner undo the two chrome nuts that you can see in the picture above and remove the valve. You will see the filters sitting in those nuts. It really isn't that difficult a job to do, and...

Surrey flanges are easier to fit than an Essex flange IMO. Essex flanges can be fiddley if never attempted before, once the hole has been cut into the side of your cylinder there is no going back. I've never dropped one into the cylinder trying to install one before but it is easily done, if...

Before you go buying a new thermostatic replacement, remove the shower valve and there should be some filters inside the two nuts. It could just be a bit debris in them that needs cleaning out. If this is the case, just clean out the filters and put them back in. But if you have been turning...

Yes

nope

If i had one of them, that would be something else the misses would want me to paint :roll:

Of the roof rack yes! Not so sure about the motor :?

If your builder mentioned that he actually worked for the Taliban and that building was his part-time job/hobbie, then i would be slightly worried about the mistery bag myself! Maybe it was a Christmas gift? But remember.... A bag of sand is for life, not just for Cristmas!

I reckon he manages ok with that rather spiffing looking roof rack :wink:

It sounds like you have air in the system, try bleeding all the rads.

Common sense lesson number 1: Take the old seat with you when buying a new one, so that you can get the same size for your toilet etc :wink: Post a picture if you can and we might be able to help you with it.

If you're not competent at D.I.Y, i'd save yourself the headache and get someone else to do it. :)

The hot is probably airlocked. Put your hand over the spout where the water comes out, turn the hot on fully and then the cold. Hold your hand on there for about 30 seconds roughly, the cold will flow up the hot pipe pushing out any air. Make sure you apply enough pressure to the spout...

You can try and use your left over tanking fluid by all means, It could last forever or it could last five minutes. I never bother to try and repair them, i just get a replacement. I don't know why you can't just get a replacement as you haven't answered that question, but that would be the...

For the amount of money you will end up spending on trying different products trying to fix your problem, (which probably won't work, but you could get lucky) you might aswell get a new pan. The choice is yours, good luck!

If The bloke makes money out of it then so be it, whether it be right or wrong. I'm sure its not illegal to make such a documentry (I could be wrong, and most probably am) I'm sure the information about 'concealing stash' is hovering around the internet on one site or another for all to see...

If you isolate the mains water feeding the boiler this will turn off all water, hot and cold. The heating won't be affected as it is a sealed system.

Sound like you've got a hairline crack somewhere on it, why can't you take it back?
