Thanks for all the helps so far. We're getting somewhere. I went out and bought a new tap as the swiftest way out of the predicament. Ooops. Got the old one off and the new one is a bit narrower. For some reason the fitter of the existing one thought best to cut a massive jaggedy hole which...

Indeed it did. I'm pleased to report that since posting this I have got the lever off with the kind of brute force usually reserved for not caring about things because you plan to replace them and the plastic innards are all sorts of broken. I think this is what was causing the leak rather than...

I think we have the Lidl one from about five or six years ago. It looks very much like this model: First the cold side was dripping through the top lever part, just slightly, then the hot went last night. I was planning to put a new washer in but hadn't got 'round to it. And now that we...

Thanks. I usually fill to around 1.5Bar. I recall the WB guy telling me to do that so I just always have. However, the system was sounding funny and gurgling alot when I was re-filling it today so I carried on filling. Someone was upstairs with their eye on the only rad which was in the Bleed...

Drained my GCH today as I needed to mend the drain-off point. Replaced the offending part and all well and good. Came to refilling the system and it was like pouring water into a bucket with a hole. The guage went up to nearly 3Bar and then back down to 0Bar in about five minutes. I thought...
