Exactly that buddy. There’s a slight drip with the tap off and from what I can tell, the rate increases with the tap on.

When the tap isn’t on, it’s a very slow drip. When the tap is on it’s a slow but steady drip down the pipe, every 5-10 seconds there’ll be a drop run down the pipe. The pipe was filthy but I’ve cleaned it up to try and trace the leak as I initially thought the solder on the elbow had failed.

The middle floor is a toilet with a sink directly above this one. The pipes to the sink on the middle floor are accessible behind the pedestal but they’re dry. I do seem to recall when I changed a tap in the middle toilet that the pipes under the floor boards appeared to be copper pipes into...

I live in a 9 year old 3 story house with a bathroom on each floor, each on top of the other. Recently I noticed water marks and mould on the wall behind the sink in the downstairs toilet. I crossed my fingers and hoped it was condensation on the pipes causing a bit of damp on the wall but...

Magic, thanks for your help. I’ve ordered an LED driver which I’ll try before moving to 230v bulbs.

My girlfriend recently bought a house and we changed all bulbs to LED’s for both energy efficiency reasons and as some were blown. Under the kitchen cabinets were 3 MR11 halogen bulbs, 2 of which were blown. I replaced these with 3W LED’s which work but faintly flicker. On investigation, the...

I live in a 6 year old 3 storey house with an Ideal Logic 15 boiler on the bottom floor and a Range Tribune HE cylinder on the middle floor. Over the past couple of years, the flow rate of hot water on the top floor has degraded to the point that the bath is now a trickle and takes over an...

All sorted. Constant live into 1 and turned off at the switch. Works like a treat. Thanks for your help.

The live is just “terminated” in a connector block. So if I connect the constant live to 1 that should activate the photocell when the light is switched off with he switch acting as an override?

I have a light above my front door which we tend to keep switched on as a security feature. Upon clearing out some bugs from the fitting, I realised that the light has a dusk till dawn photo-cell fitted however this doesn’t seem to operate as the light is always on. On inspecting the wiring...

As I mentioned in my first post; I intend to. I just want to be clear what the issues are when I make the call.

Oh dear? Is that an Oh dear to my simplistic questions or the boiler situation? I'm a complete novice when it comes to plumbing so any help or direction is appreciated Guys. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I was mid-Google search when I typed combi boiler. So the fill loop just needs replacing? There nothing that can be done to resolve the dripping/leaking from the flue?

Hi Guys, I have an Ideal Logic Heat 15 combi boiler in the kitchen and the hot water tank on the first floor. Around 6 months ago I noticed that the full loop was working sporadically. This has now stopped working entirely. On further inspection I have now found that the boiler in the kitchen...

All fixed after this Gents guidance. Thanks again Buudy :D

Thanks Buddy. I've PM'd you

Hi Guys, I bought a show home from Strata in 2013 which has an alarm fitted. The key pad is a Eurosec CP8L however I can't find details of what make and model the alarm itself may be. We've never really used the alarm until I tried recently before a holiday and I found a "Mains flt" error...

Magic. Thanks again Seco. I'll have a poke around in the morning.

Thanks Seco. I tested the flow with the head off and it still cycled hot and cold. I've found a rough schematic here: http://www.showerdoc.co.uk/shower-spares/triton/t100em-care-electric.html I take the inlet filter is located somewhere near No. 6? Where are the isolation valves...

Evening Guys, My Triton T100em has been cycling through hot and cold every 20 seconds for the past few weeks. The continuity on the top and bottom TCO's is OK, I've cranked the dial around to cold then back to hot and the flow reduces accordingly. Anything else I can check or is...
