    Where to buy a replacement old-style low-level cistern

    Doesn't need to be an exact match. I just want to know where to buy cisterns on their own. Hard to "shop around" when I don't know where to shop :-)

    Where to buy a replacement old-style low-level cistern

    We have an old Victorian outdoor toilet, with a cracked cistern (low-level). Can anyone suggest where I might find a replacement? I have searched online, but most stockists only seem to sell the pan and cistern as a set, which I don't want. The cistern currently in place is 530mm wide, and I...

    gas boiler not firing; immersion->boiling water in cold t

    Thanks. I have already read reports about the potterton boilers, and called them up (299 pounds to fix as more than 10 yrs old) but surely that wouldn't explain why there is boiling water feeding into the cold tank in the attic when we use the immersion heater (with the gas boiler switched off)...

    gas boiler not firing; immersion->boiling water in cold t

    I recently moved into a new (by that I actually mean old Victorian) house with both a 10-yr old gas boiler (Potterton Suprima) and a regular immersion heater. A couple of days ago I tested the central heating (which initially worked fine) but now the boiler is refusing to fire (red flashing...
