All Done, he used the part a bought which was £60, labour was £84, happy with that. He says I was going about it the right way, because usually the cartridges pull out and push in quite easily. But he's never seen one so corroded enough, to be jammed in. His solution was to take the whole...

I will Tony, he's sorting it now, thank god.

Thanks for the advice lads, i gave up, managed to get an engineer around. Thats the car fund gone! DIY, no chance! Cheers.

Thanks Tony, in hindsight i would have bought the whole valve, and i probably will end up doing so. I'll give the cartridge's another go in the morning first. Yeah, its a cylinder/water heater, not a boiler, sorry, it's clearly not my area of expertise. But i'm sure i'm missing a simple trick...
