How do I remove the cylinder lock I was expecting to see a screw like the upvc euro cylinders

Thank you for any replies in advance. Due to several leaks in my bathroom, the floor had to be taken up. This gives me the chance to reroute pipes and I hope make the layout more efficient. Combi Boiler: Worcester 30cdi is located upstairs in a converted bungalow. It supplies an upstairs...

Yeah I removed the spark generator but still couldn't get my hand in. I was using a standard gauge though not an angled one. Thanks anyway

The guide is in the faqs.

No, not qualified. I just took off the front panel to measure the pressure in the expansion vessel which I had done a few times on a different boiler.

Hi guys, I wonder if you could help me: The potterton 28 HE plus is around 10 years old. On two occasions in the last 2 months the chs and hot water stopped working. On the first I occasion the pressure had dropped to 0.5 bar and I just topped up the system and it started working. On the...

Thanks, I assumed it was a min/max value so was going to go for the middle value. I just couldn't find an explanation in the manual. Thanks again.

Hi guys, I am looking at the service manual for my car and it gives the tightening torque value as what I think is a range, for example: Spark plugs tightening torque 14.4 - 21.6Nm Wheel Hub Nuts 89 - 118Nm My question is what value do I take for setting my torque wrench as I can only...

I understand now. Thank you for all your help.

Ok, I'm being really thick now but if its behind the lip how does the water get there? Thanks

Hi thanks seco services, is there another kind of design or something cause I cannot feel any hole. I remember my last shower I could feel the hole and was able to stick a brush down to clean it out. With this one I can't. Obviously the water is draining away somewhere but I just can't...

Hi guys, I would like to clean out my shower trap but when I put my fingers down it I can't feel the hole where the water is supposed to drain to the waste pipe. I can't figure out how the water drains away. Could someone explain this please? Also, I have removed the silver cap...

Thanks TicklyT. Wouldn't I need to dig my shower base out to replace it though? Yeah I'm going to do that, the sink pipe was being supported by bits of rubble jammed underneath it, forcing down onto the living room ceiling! I really don't know how I would even approach this, all the...

Thanks NigeF. I guess I'll need to put up with the bubbling in my shower. I'm going to replace the 40mm pipe with 50mm. Is there any reason why this would be a problem?

Hi TicklyT, Yeah I already know why it is bubbling through. A combination of the pipe being nearly horizontal and overlong waste pipes. I cannot do anything about it . The whole loft needs renovated but I don't have the money. The previous owners obviously got some cowboy in. I have the...

Thanks Charnwood. Yep judging by the rest of the plumbing this is no surprise I've posted quite a few times on here about my inherited botched plumbing. Anyway I want to remove that part and replace it with a tee with a non return if possible? Why do you think the sink waste is 40mm and...

Hi guys, I've had a leak stemming from the below tee connector. I had to cut out my living room ceiling to locate the leak. :cry: As well as fixing the leak I would like to install a non return valve to prevent the water running from my sink waste and bubbling up through my shower. Is it...

Thanks Burnerman.

Hi guys, I'm looking at hammer drills and I often see type 1 or 2 or 3. I was wondering what do the types 1,2 and 3 actually mean in layman's terms? Thank you

Thanks JobAndKnock.
