Yes, I was talking about the differen cisterns with different flush mechanisms that affect the force of the flush. As I have said in my post here, #12, I said I was not talking about the method it fills, but the method it flush. But some implied I linked the method it fills that determines the...

I am not talking about the method it fills. It's the method it flushes. Have you seen both system how they flush ? Problably not, I wager ! ok, I am not here to argue who is right and who is wrong. I am here for answers to my questions. So far you have asked me to send photos and you asked for...

Ok. But I beg to defer as both different system having the same amount of water in the cistern gives very different flush force. But anyway, before I pop into a plumber supplies shop to show them the parts I am looking for, one other question. I have changed the parts on the standard 1/2"...

I agree about the noise. But the one big difference is that the force of the flush on these ballcock system is a lot stronger than the weak flush whicn is almost like a gentle water flow in a modern system.

Everyone is telling me to get a new ballcock which I know is under a tenner. But I'd like to know the sizes of the bras system I have and what are the size parts to search for. Put it down to having a interest in old stuff, if you like. :) I found that with the brass system, the inlet water is...

JohnD - Only thing I noticed is that I've lost the captions to each of the photos :(

JohnD - both is from the water mains supply ok, here are some photos. Hope they make sense and helpful

rsgaz - thanks. I was not expecting the Post New Thread to be in orange. Over looked it as I thought it is part of the site decoration. I was searching along the top that says New Post, Spy, Treading Topic.....and even on Home, How to... Thanks for pointing this out. Have a good day.

Hi - How do I open a topic to ask for help ? It seems there is no place to write or open a new thread to post it on here. Please advise as I have been searching everwhere on this site without success. Many thanks

Sorry, my mistake.

I can switch the heating on and off from the room thermostat and the thermostat can also be program as to when the heating comes on or off and at what temperature. I wanted a over ride switch so that if the thermostat fails or ran out of battery in the middle of the night, I can still manually...

Not sure if they are mass produced or not. But I suspect they are, though the production line speed may not be that fast. My favourite is the coupe. Anyway, I think we are getting distracted from the intention of my original post and it would be good to get some concrete suggestions or...

Can a Toyota reached up to 500k miles ? :)

You mean even when the relay box or the room thermostat is faulty and not functioning ?

I have not been involved with cars these days like I did when I was much younger. But I wondered can a modern day car engine be overhauled like those made in the olden days ? My mid 1975 Lancia was still going strong way past 65k miles. They said on average use, a car will do 10k a year and this...

Following my earlier reply/comment to yours and having taken a second look at your suggested wiring, I have another question for clarification which is: ....on your suggested wiring, wouldn't it mean that the thermostat is still connected (live) even when the bypass switched is turned on ? Is...

Well, you are entittled to your oninion and I have my reason for doing what I wish to do.

Bad experience ? - yes and no, depending on how you see it. But I do know that they don't make them as they used to. These days, they are made to be thrown away and don't usually last long. Companies these days are more profit orientated than having pride in what they do and care for their...

Thanks for your comments. I did mentioned which stat I have in my very first reply, whichI is the same as the one you have, the CM927. However, I am trying to cater of all eventuallities given that if there is a fault, it would be a simple alternative than working in the cold or looking to get...
