Hi Sorry for typing the message in twice, I lost the first thread somehow. My computer crashed about the same time it was sent in and it claimed I had never sent the message! Computers! My husband tells me that he has set the ball valve to the lowest that it goes, and it refuses to shut...

I have a cistern that is repeatedly overflowing out down the wall into the garden (useful for watering plants but its upsetting the neighbours with the limescale deposits it leaves on their windows!) My husband changed the ball valve on it last year and set the new plastic one to the lowest...

My cistern is overflowing and leaking out into the back garden (better there than the house!) My husband changed the ball valve and adjusted the screw so the water storage level was as low as possible, and it worked....for about a month! Its getting worse than it used to be, although it stops...

I have a lot of radiator problems! First off we have a rusty radiator I want to clean up and repaint - I have a hammerite rust beater, but it says I can't use it on certain metals - being a bit useless, I don't know what my radiator is made from. We also have a variety of badly behaving...
