Thanks. I think I will. Ive called customer care and May have the wrong instructions!

Still no joy. Ive taken the float arm off. Still cannot see anything. Does anyone know how this particular one works? or should I admit defeat and deem it faulty.

Many many ways. The instructions say to Unclip the float and move it down below the fill line but I can’t find any clip. I thought it meant to move the brown thing down so I did and that didn’t work. I then adjusted the white hexagon screw thing to move the float up and down. Nothing. Moving...

Ok I’ll look. Where would the Washer be? Or debris? Sorry. The rest went in no bother and this is just annoying me now.

Hi where is the float valve? Is that the one in the middle that is on the outlet valve (seen lots of videos about that). Can’t see a washer anywhere on the inlet one but not sure where to look.

Hi Ive fitted a new toilet but the cistern keeps filling and I can’t work out how to adjust it. Ive tried everything. Even when I pull the float up /down manually the water doesn’t shut off? What am I missing? Ive moved the float up and down, changed the settings on the outlet. The...

Hi. The stop cock was next to the downstairs toilet and stopped the flow to all the other taps in the house. But. Thinking about it I don’t know if there wasn’t a little bit of flow as the cold water tap in the kitchen ran for a bit this morning even though the stop cock was off for 24 hours.

I think the gate valve must be faulty. But I don’t understand how the tank in the loft is being filled if the ruin main is off? anyway. Sorted now. Just had to work around the dribbles. Buckets and towels!!

No water coming from any other taps. Throwing down with rain. Beginning to think I’m bathing in rainwater

Wonder if anyone can help. fitting a new bath. Isolated hot water and cold is not rising main although this is OFF. GATE valve has a label saying that it isolates bath cold water. This is also off Water just keeps coming out. Yesterday it was a eventually down to a slow dribble. I put the...

Plumber has suggested upgrading it all as I had a new system but kept the old tanks. They are v old I think and the lids are a sort of weird cardboard.

@Burnerman you were pretty spot on. The lid of the tank had fallen in and was wedging the ball cock so the overflow tank was constantly filling up. After I had a bath it was absolutely dripping like a monsoon! The overflow pipe was also behind the facia! What a mess. The leak is at least sorted...

Problem solved! I’ll let the plumber sort it from here Thanks everyone. Except the moron

Hi. Yes. Had the central heating done about 18 months ago. New cylinder in airing cupboard. Beginning to think you are right. So. Plumber it is!

Thank you. It’s stopped now. Well almost. V slow drips but it did that yesterday. I’ll see what the builder says on Friday unless it gets worse again. I’ve checked the lost again and absolutely no drips anywhere I can see. Unless the builder condensation pipe goes into the gutter??? And the...

Not sure BUT it hasn’t rained for 5 days and it been dripping non stop for 2 days.

Hi Yes I have turn the mains off. Run the taps. Still dripping! So can’t be plumbing surely? Really driving me mad!

@catlad. I have and again they can’t come for a few days hence the OP. But thanks for your constructive advice on a forum whose sole purpose is to give helpful advice for those like me who have a bit of DIY knowledge but seek further clarification on a few things. I suggest you look up the word...

No there isn’t. I think I might have to give my plumber a ring.

Yes. There is overflow pipes. I’ve been into the loft and can’t hear anything. Also, I would have thought that any leak would cause the water meter to go round? I’m so confused by it. Logic says it’s a leak in the roof but I just can’t see any evidence for it!
