Ah - just seen my picture and noticed something odd so looked at the problem with a torch. It looks like there was a removable removable end to the tap, but it is sheared off. doubtful I'll be able to get out what remains threaded in (unless any one has a trick?). New tap me thinks.

Hi. Our kitchen mixer tap works fine with the hot water, but cold water splatters everywhere and dribbles back down the spout. I'd really appreciate help fixing this. We'll be replacing the whole kitchen within a year, so would rather not buy new taps now. The spout end has an inner...

thanks for the replies - I've been given a couple of guestimates of about £1,000, so it looks like it would be worthwhile spending the extra and just getting a new boiler - knowing my luck we'd replace the flue, then the old boiler will totally pack in! Got qoutes for removal of the old one...

I am adl - not really after getting qoutes here, I just wondered what a ball park figure would be. I can't seem to find anyone that is a specialist in installing flues, unless they are big industrial jobs - perhaps I 'm using the wrong search terms. What is the name of the flue installation...

Hello - I've just had my old back-boiler serviced and condemned. The condemnation is due to the flue having large splits in several locations. Our plumber says he wont replace the flue, but we could get a specialist firm in - any idea on what this would cost. The flue goes from ground floor...

Matt - here are some photos of the system. They show the new valve and my bad guess at wiring. I've also included the thermostat and control box in case that is useful. The room thermostat (in the kitchen) is Sunvic TLS and the control box is Siemens RWB2E.

I've taken some photos which I will post up when I get to work. There is certainly only one control valve - it is after the cylinder so only opens/closes the CH circuit. We have never been able to set controls to have CH without hot water (so in winter tend to just have hot water set to off...

thanks, so I will need to connect earth to earth (ashes to ashes), blue to blue presumably the brown must go to a (red) live coming up from the control panel. but, when you say internal microswitch for orange and grey, these wires come out of the flex - what should they connect to...

Hello, I'm trying to replace a sunvic SM5203 2 way valve with a honeywell v4043H motorised zone valve. The colouring of the sunvic wires and honeywell wires don't match: sunvic had: earth, blue, orange, yellow, and white. honeywell has: earth, blue, orange, buff, grey. Are the wires...
