    Dripping bath shower mixer tap

    Thanks. It drips out the aerator but if i unscrew the shower pipe then it drips from there. Do i need to isolate the water if taking the valve out? I see a small plug on the back of the taps so assume i put a small hex in there to take the top off?

    Immersion heater and Hot Water Cylinder pipes (Ed.)

    I cant check on meter when other things will be drawing. The thermostat on the top of the cylinder - the switch connecting to that is always off. I only had to switch that on when we had a boiler issue. So is it the small box on the cylinder that switches on and off via the honeywell?

    Toilet flush

    Ideally it just needs rotate 5degrees clockwise but it cant. At the moment i have the cover off and if i push it forward away from the tank, the pipe kink reduces and it flushes. But i can secure it like that and dont want to break it

    Toilet flush

    Have a press button flush that has suddenly stopped working. Not sure why suddenly but it looks like its due to one of the air lines being kinked. Its close to the side of the cistern and i cant twist it round any more. The flush has 2 air pipes which connect to a plastic plate, and then one...
