Thanks Woody

Thanks for the reply Woody Sisters boyfriend did the Job, I helped & no, he didn't apply any heat. Am I right in that apply the Flashband primer where it isn't sticking (like a glue) and push it back into place?

PS The Roof and Sticky lead are a couple of months old & the Plastic Fascia was washed and dried before applying the Sticky Lead

Our Sticky lead has come unstuck from the Plastic Fascia a few times now, we know when it has, as it lets water into the conservatory when it rains, I've been up and pushed it back onto the Fascia. Can anyone recommend a remedy for this, ie is there a "Sticky lead glue", or if no remedy, what...

Hi Guys, I've a shower to put in for my sister after the stabilizer valve went on her her old one The broken one is a Triton Enlight, the new one a Triton Enrich. I'm OK turning the water inlet but can anyone help me out on how to connect the mains up please? The electric connector blocks are...

Shower Model - Triton Enlight Hi Guys, My sisters shower is leaking from the part marked in red, from the area in red, Can anyone identify the part for me so I can order a new one please, or is it a case of a washer / O ring inside the leaking part? TIA Jon

Thanks for taking the time to reply Terry. I'd already replaced the olives with no joy, using LSX has resolved the problem for me. FYI Fibre washer. I used a rubber O ring washer where the tap connector met the threaded tap tail as the water gushed out when using a Fibre one.

Hi Guys, I've made a short video of the problem as I'm having trouble putting it into words, a picture is worth a 1,000 words (Or video in this case) Thanks in advance, Jon

Update - Couldn't budge the nut, tried heating it up but to no avail. Explained to my sister that would need to cut the tap & pipe, she wasn't keen on this and decided to leave the taps as they are. Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply and offer their help. Best regards, Jon

Hi Chris, Tools I have are, Normal tap wrench Stilson wrench small handle length adjustable spanner I'm unable to undo the nut circled in red, wont budge at all.

Bernard, as said above, I've concerns about cutting the existing piping in case I can't put new fittings on due to lack of space.

PS I'm not a plumber, I've basic skills and doing this for my sister, I replaced the basin taps with no problems and have put in a mixer set elsewhere, again with no real problems.

Thanks for the reply Nige F :-) I Don't have either of those tools and the concerns I would have about doing that is needing to put on a compression fitting lower down due to the limited access, it's one of those where if you stay in the position needed to do the work you'll end up with a...

Hi guys I bought one of these ... and from the off it gave me problems, sometimes working, sometimes not. Turns out it was the power supply that was at fault as when I rigged it up to an old PC power supply it worked fine. Hope this helps someone
