That’s the result of seeing a few pinholes and then prodding them with a finger! Lol

Yes, still got a thermal store, system is drained down so I could remove the leaky F&E. I contacted Gledhill about a replacement copper one and they have said I don't need a copper or metal one as they are used for uncontrolled heat sources not a conventional gas boiler system with thermostats...

It would be much more expensive or damaging if we hadn't noticed the slight drip from it and that hole appeared flooding the house!

I believe the replacement store is stainless, interesting.

The store itself was replaced a couple of years ago, inhibitor was added then, don't know if there was any in it before.

Tank and hole

Hi all, my system has a copper feed and expansion tank as originally supplied and fitted in conjunction with a Boilermate 2. The F&E tank has started to leak, it has a series of pin holes in it, any idea what would cause this? I'd understand it it was a ferrous metal or an old galvanised tank...

Hi all, I had my boilermate 2 replaced few months back with an advanced appliances thermal store (TSDC140). It's been working fine up till now but over the last few days I've noticed the boiler firing up a lot and our gas usage increasing. I've checked the metal F&E tank and its full of very hot...

Yes, the pipe leading upstairs gets hot as the store heats up, the heating pump isn't coming on, just the boiler pump.

Its on a thermal store system, no 3 port valves, just a pump for the boiler flow, and another for the heating. When the store calls for heat the boiler pump starts but the upstairs rads get hot, none of the other rads.

Hi all, can anyone identify the manufacturer of the valve in the attached photo, I'm hoping the B within a hexagon is a clue. It's playing up, letting hot water into the upstairs radiators when the hot water is being called for but not the heating.

:-) They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but lets see if I can match your level of it. Are you an aforementioned "professional", complete with your own selection of specialist tooling? Maybe you hoped I would bow down to your superior knowledge, marvel at your collection of basin...

Its a 1.5 bowl sink, the tap is more or less behind the junction of the 2 bowls making access very difficult, you can't see anything.

The plumbing wont be a problem, its just the lack of access to remove/fit new, and the unusual tooling required! It looks like the sink has been siliconed onto the worktop, no fixing clips to be seen.

Hi, our existing mixer tap is leaking. I have bought a replacement as I couldn't see a way of dismantling the existing one to change the ceramic washers (if at all possible). The sink it's going on is a 1.5 bowl ceramic. Is it possible to change the tap without removing the sink, or will it be...

Our house is similar (built 1999), the outside security light feed is supplied from the downstairs lighting circuit, it is not independantly switched.

Good question, and I have thought about that, I have three choices:- 1/ Phone 999 2/ Activate the remote kennel lock and release the two rottweillers 3/ Use the recording as evidence as normal

Hi, I am definate about the dpc. They built up to dpc level with the dwarf walls then laid down a normal dpc to both skins of the wall. The floor slab was then laid directly onto the subsoil, no sand, no plastic sheet type dpc. The slab was laid to approx 75mm of finished floor level. I was...

Hi, can anyone recommend a decent network ip camera suitable for outdoor use? I would prefer one I can connect to my server and access it remotely. Thanks

The dwarf walls have conventional dpc fitted, its the base that has been covered with the bitumous material.
