Thanks Technotim. Probably wont look at it until the weekend, but will let you know how I get on.

Spoke to the manufacturer they've told me to take off the none return valves, remove the plastic section inside and then replace it - something to do with the water pressure not being high enough!? This doesn't exactly sound right as then there'll be nothing preventing back flow, but I'll try...

Diverdee - The valve does have none returns fitted and the HOT label is actually moulded on the valve. Buck51 - I've not had the thermostatic cartridge out of the valve. It'd just be my luck that I've got the only dodgy one made! I've got the manual it came with, but to be honest I'm not...

Buck51 it's not that I wont take your advice that's why I'm on here and I'm open to it, but the hot and cold feeds are connected to the correct sides of the valve - the left as you look at it is hot (marked with HOT) and the right is cold. The cold feed from the tank in the attic feeds the...

The valve is fitted with two control knobs a flow control (to the shower head) and a temperature control/temperature override knob. With the flow control on full and the temperature control on hot - hot comes out. When I then turn the temperature control towards cold it stays hot and...

Definitely not connected the wrong way. The valve has hot written on one entry - the left hand one. The old valve was the same set up so all I've done is connect the old pipes which were in the correct position to the new valve. Even I couldn't bodge that up!!! Just had a chat with borther...

Yes.

That's the strange thing I haven't done anything with the electricity for a while. If it is a loose connection would that mean it must be before the 2nd bedroom, given it's affecting the third bedroom too? Is that how the upstairs ring circuit would work? Just trying to understand where I...

Recently both ceiling lights in the two back bedrooms have gone out. I eventually got round to replacing the bulbs only to find it wasn't the bulbs. For some reason there appears to be a problem with the mains supply to the lighting in those two rooms. All other upstairs lights are working...

I can't get my head around what the problem might be here. I've recently fitted an Ultra Ecco twin control shower valve. Prior to connecting the valve there was cold water coming out of the cold water pipe and hot water coming out of the hot water pipe. After connecting I checked the valve...
