Thanks robinbanks. That is a very logical suggestion and I had thought of that at the very beginning but wanted to avoid messing with the washing machine end which has been perfectly dry all this time. The hose is also a long one that goes through awkward and tight spaces/holes. Can't remember...

Thanks for all the advice. This is the washer that I had bought. I assume these are 'soft' washers? I tried adding a second washer but it still drips. Not the washer suggested above, just another one from the ones I had bought as I had 9 spare...

Well I bought a new washer but it still drips. It is possible it could still be that the new washer is still not the perfect fit. It is very difficult to tell exactly where the drip is coming from, but I had a long close look and I THINK the drip is coming from where the metal part meets the...

Thanks for all the replies. That link didn't work for me, but I found the tool from the link text, thanks. I hope I haven't cross-threaded the plastic nut! I didn't pay much attention to that first time round! Oh I wasn't going to use the same washer! Haha. I already had two spares (the ones...

Thanks for your reply, blup. Nip them up a bit with adjustables? Sorry, I don't understand, haha.

Hi all. I installed a new inlet hose less than a year ago and it's now started dripping at the end attached to to the tap under the kitchen sink. When I removed the old washer, it was slightly frayed at the edges and there was a circular indentation mark across it. Does this indicate that the...

Hi all. I understand the official genuine Vaillant water pressure sensor has part no. 0020059717, however, reputable sites like Screwfix advertises it as 0020059717 but the image of the item shows 0020036671 (see link below)...

Thanks Madrab. In that case, 'quickly' will have to be sacrificed in favour of 'properly'.

Hi all. Is it possible to tell if an o ring is made from natural or synthetic rubber (the one below in this case)...

Thanks for the replies. denso13, having it along the floor is just one of the options available. It'd probably be more diagonally from the bottom of the machine and then level/straight along the wall (near counter top height) and then down into the drain. I'm assuming this is OK too. foxhole...

Thanks for the reply, oldbutnotdead. For the moment, weedkiller has done the trick. Will look into the other suggestions in this thread to make the situation more permanent and post back with any reports. Thanks.

Hi all. I have the exact same question as the poster in the following link (except all the ups and downs), however, despite several replies to his query, nobody has actually answered his question. https://community.screwfix.com/threads/washing-machine-waste-pipe-clip.262351/ Is there a...

Thanks for all your help! I managed to install it and nothing blew up! All the radiators came on nice and hot. Only one problem, I was very anxious to get it working to be safe against frozen pipes over this cold weather spell, however, got a text a few hours later that the credit in the gas...

Thank you! I spent hours searching for a definite answer on the web, but there were too many different variations and with SO much to lose, I just couldn't rely on information for 'similar' setups! I learnt that the colours don't really matter in these cases, so was going to open the boiler...

Hi. https://manuals.plus/honeywell/t4h110a1021-t4-programmable-thermostat-manual.pdf In the instructions above, which colour wire is A and which is B? One is blue and one is brown. Thanks.

I must have magic radiators because they get hot almost straight away! Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I meant when I turn up an individual radiator, I like it to get hot straight away. Sometimes, it doesn't even start to get hot until a while. I didn't mean the temperature of the room. Thanks for the video recommendation, that should really...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, even after over 20 years of having a thermostatic system, I have never quite fully understood how it all works. There are temperature settings on the boiler itself, a thermostat controller like the one in this thread and also a round dial in the hallway. Why...

I managed to open the unit (see the photos). The yellow 'X' in one of the photos is to highlight a copper wire that isn't connected to anything in the unit. Before I go spending any money on things, is it easy/possible to have a system without any thermostats of any kind, that is, if I want to...

In approximately 20 years of having a programmable heating control, I have never set any programs, however, I now realise that one day I may eventually need to be away from home and if it's winter time, might be a good thing to have to prevent pipes from freezing/bursting, so you do have a good...
