We have had this oven for probably 7 years. A few years ago the bottom oven stopped heating up. I checked the internet before rushing out to buy a new element. Other people had had the same thing and said it was a fault with the oven. I seem to remember that the solution was to turn the switch...

Went into Virgin box settings using the remote and changed the setting to "widescreen". Job done.

Thanks for that. If we have air in the system, how do we get it out? The boiling soounds more serious, how would I know?

Phoned the water company as I was woken up by pipe noise. Now we have very high water pressure, noise and spluttering taps. They are sending someone round to check outside today. The guy on the phone said it could be a problem within our property though. My question, how does this cause higher...

Panic over. It has cleared itself.

Good tip, thanks, sounds like we are loosing too much pressure between the meter and the boiler.

Ahh now I get it.

We have virgin tv on cable and the edges of all tv pictures are cropped down the sides, you can't get the whole picture even by changing the tv settings. I lived with this for a while but now we have a new tv and the same thing is happening. Any ideas? Also, when there is a white band along the...

Threw this away in the end and bought a Sony one.

We fitted the new toilets but the solidified pee (looked like yellow rock) was knocked down the pipe in the floor by a colleague we found out later. The pipe has now backed up with blockage. How can I clear up this mess?? Is there a chemical that will dissolve it or do we have to get underground...

This is interesting, I don't get it though. If you need a 22mm pipe supply, why have a 15mm inlet on the boiler? If the gas can't flow down a 15mm pipe all the way from the meter, how come it can flow down 1 metre of pipe at the end?

Thanks Mr Gas

We have a Potterton combi 80 boiler installed many years ago with a 15mm gas supply pipe. A plumber said we should have a 22mm supply pipe and checked our pressure which is 18 when it should be 20. This would be a big job so I thought I'd see if other people agree. The only problem we have to...

Knocked up this image of our proposal on the computer, as you can see we are trying to add a toilet for a wheelchair user at the end.

Thanks for the advice. What's an AAV?

Added two more pictures to my album to show the lid of the rodding eye. You can also see that the urinal pipe where it enters is almost completely blocked with scale. I am thinking of attacking this with a hammer and cold chisel using a circle of board stuck down the shaft to catch any debris...
