Very good advice B. If the spare looks a bit ratty or it's a space saver (narrower that the normal ones) you really have to get this sorted ASAP or it could be dangerous using the spare for anything but getting you to the tyre fitter (if the tyre is the issue).

Norseman, yeah that, for those who've been round the block a bit. Just thought I'd do the squeaky clean Blue Peter version for this one. Just wait until I suggest breaking out the stick backed plastic : - )

Yup, slow puncture, or tyre not seating on the rim well and letting air by, or valve letting air by? I would spend your money on getting a local tyre fitter to sort it. You might be able to test the valve by getting a mixture of washing up liquid and water, dipping your finger in it, taking the...

Hey Berty, best of luck with it, let us know how you get on.

Hugh, re the possibility of the wrong insert, yes installers sound a right shower, so could well be. I'm assuming Berty has already checked for debris etc. Guess the only way to diagnose this is to isolate each section trial and error style. Would have to be way unlucky to have got a faulty...

Crikey Berty, lots to unpack there, looks like the gully is just the tip of the iceberg probs wise. My condolences, I feel for you ending up in this predicament. I live in a Victorian house with 4 flats/freeholds (collective enfranchisement) so we’re all responsible for costs for all the...

Just looking at Screenshot_20230817-170213_Gallery.jpg the side view if the set-up, it could be the camera angle but it doesn’t look like there’s much fall on the first section of 110mm from the gully to the 15° bend. I also notice that there’s a short section of 110mm at right angles to the...

Quite right, so the substituting of the insert for the chicken wire (or finer mesh maybe) should be for a short test period only - silt build up is accumulative. If you know there’s a chance of an unusually excessive amount of silt that’s going to be present while testing, then testing this way...

Best of luck (y)

Hmm, sounds odd as you would have thought the insert design would be free of bad turbulence impeding the flow. You could try it without the insert, but I would make a close fitting, simple chicken wire mesh to fit in there to prevent leaves and other debris entering during the test period. Oh...

Did you see the installer of the new bottle gully and drain perform a flow test (sloshing a high peak volume of water down it) after their installation? Did you have any issues with the water running away to the sewer before the new install? Just wondering if there is an incorrect fall from the...

Thanks. It does look that in the photo, but it's just camera distortion. I've just looked really closely at another box and both cable entry channels are the same width.

ih, Perhaps not immediately helpful, but don’t exclude the possibility that the ABS wires and adjacent cables may have been chewed by wildlife. It’s worth getting whoever is best placed to have a recce underneath the car to look for random bite marks along cables mounted on the back...

Detlef, yes I did see the extra supports on the outside one and used them for the 1mm² as shown the photos, but thanks for bringing it to my attention in case I hadn’t noticed.

Sorry Plugwash, I misinterpreted what you said, thinking you meant "slot" as in the channel a group of cables uses. Of course you meant the slot that the plastic grippers slot into – thanks.

OK that’s interesting thanks. Maybe that applies to other models? Looking at the 221-4 I, can’t see any difference between each slot’s width or their springiness etc.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer Taylor and sorry it wasn’t one of the juiciest posts. Such great weather for mowing, hope it goes well.

Just wondering if anyone has pondered this... I'm using a WAGOBOX 221-4 Maintenance Free junction box and it has two cable retainers (cable grips), one for one group of cables and one for another. As I'm only using it for an inline twin & earth connector, I'll only be utilising one grip which...

Thanks Anon, I appreciate the detail. Been a bit busy, so only just read this properly. The install was a bit different to how I thought it would be, but all's good now. I'll post some pics for anyone having CF installed as soon as I get the chance so they know what they're up against.

Sureitsoff? LOL is a way overused acronym, but I really did. Absolutely the first thing you ask every time, not just to get them on-side but because their firm might be running them ragged and they really need refreshments (I’ve been there). One of the best tips I’ve seen on a forum : - ) Dave...
