This is a bit of an odd one. Did the old shower work ok before it broke? These showers are designed to work on extremely low pressure systems so raising the tank might work but it shouldn't need to be. It literally sucks water from the tanks. I doubt it would be sucking it air although this...

After having a good read and following all the advice in this thread over the bank hol I would definately say upgrading the size of your mains and putting in an unvented cylinder would be your way forwards. I know that's what has been advised but sometimes it helps to hear it from a couple of...

You'll want to check with Grundfos technical but i'm fairly certain they class these types of pumps (Actually most of their water circulators) as unserviceable. I know that the motor repairs/rewinds people we use don't do any work on them, but that might be for any number of reasons. It might...

http://www.axminster.co.uk/ambersil-penetrating-oil If good ol' WD doesn't work try some of that. It'll be a pain if you can't find some locally and have to order it but i've had it do the impossible before. Joints I can't break with the 24" stillsons, give it some of that and 5-10 minutes...

Heh, like you say then it's not worth anything anyway. I can understand why they don't pay out for damages to property but at the same time who is going to quibble over the cost of an elbow when you came home to see the 50" plasma swimming down the drive?? If I hear any mice rustling i'll...

Like you say diverters can be expensive and a pain to change (Although I don't remember what the performas are like) so i'd probably keep on trucking till I was sure. If the hot water works fine, and the heating works fine without the stat in, but with the stat in just takes forever and goes...

Eek, i'll never hear the end of using this plastic from anyone it seems! I'm not fussed about losing the warranty on the pipe and fittings, i'd probably not bother claiming anyway, although if you have a serious leak and you installed it correctly do they cover the damages to property also...

It seems odd that it works if you disconnect the thermistor, which should rule out a blockage as if the boiler was truly backing up and overheating it'd kettle like mad which im guessing it didn't? I doubt it'd be a pipework problem, ive seen systems with 10-12 rads all on 15mm (Rough cowboys...

Hi guys, first post on here! Been reading it on and off for years though about people's problems, and now I have one! I'm a Plumber/Gas Engineer (Domestic and Commercial) and I bought a house (A real fixer upper, only left two walls standing) about a year ago. Well i've finally got round to...
