Hi Yerino/twgas I don't have a mixer tap. I have bought a mixer tap to fit this weekend but wished to get the pressure query sorted first (in case it had an adverse effect on the new tap). Should I fit the new tap and follow your recommendation? re tank refill. The refill seems to be the...

Hi Cider Could you explain how to back fill? I'm a plumbing novice! Cheers!

Hi I've recently experienced a drop in pressure in my downstairs hot water tap. It happened after I filled a bath and emptied the tank. I've got electrical heating so no gas boilers etc. The upstairs taps on ther bath sink, shower etc use a pump due to the pressure being too low...

Hi I've just moved into a maisonette flat and I've got a problem with the upstairs hot water taps. The flat currently has electric storage heating so no gas boiler or anything. My water tank is in the bedroom which is on the same level as the bathroom. I occupy the top two levels of the...

Cheers Adam. Will give that a go.

Dunno what you do for a living, but you should be a comedian mate! Now I'll need to find out from someone how to stitch my sides backup. Later. :lol:

Does anyone know of an equivalent to the Haynes manual for a Seat Toledo. Getting a few problems just now which include a hissing when accelerating, engine running slightly on after ignition switched off and oil warning light and beep coming on when overtaking at speed (i.e dropping a gear)...
