I've got what the Potterton (Suprima 60L) manual defines as a fully pumped sealed system. We've seen water coming out of the overflow outside and assume this is because the expansion vessel bladder has zero pressure (well I think that's why water is seen). To pump this up I have turned off the...

Not seen a recent thread on this so hope someone can help. Since being in this house we have always had issues with the mosaic tiles on the floor that needed regrouting once a year. We went away in December and come back to them being 'bouncy' and I said enough was enough and starting ripping...

I just noticed today that when trying to set the alarm with a user code (as keys and prox ID tag were in the car) nothing happened. This is since setting up the Smartcom and having monitoring set up (albeit the free options). I read somewhere on another thread that if monitoring is on that you...

Yesterday I had an oddity.... the keypad come up with 'Arm Low Fob Battery' when using one of the proximity tags (they don't have batteries?). Anyway, I swapped around two of the fobs in the Wintex config, uploaded, tested and all was well (my youngest daughter doesn't need one anyway...)...

Hi there, During one of the many failed Virgin installs over the last few weeks (that's another story), the 'indoor' Virgin installer/engineer was very helpful and gave me a part roll of Amphenol Broadband Solutions 006277V00BK301CU01R1 cable so that I could get on with the indoor run myself...

Rather than resurrect this thread COM IP - Problem Notification (and test call) | DIYnot Forums thought I would create a new one (though essentially the problem is almost the same). I have followed the COM-IP instructions to the letter and am not getting any notifications, and test call does...

Hi there, Last year had the garden done and there are a number of earth retaining walls. These were rendered and a lot has blown off over the winter/spring. Now not all of these are on the earth retaining walls, some are just faces that were exposed to some heavy snow drift etc... Now a...

Hi there, started a new thread after reading the painting external render thread. Basically we had a seating area and various flower beds built out of brick and block (on various levels) and rendered last year. It was painted with a couple of coats of Sandtex but over the winter lots of...

Hi there, My parents just got a quote for a complete replacement floor for their victorian terraced house. They have a bad damp problem, which after much work never seems to go away. Now this has been diagnosed as 'condensation' which I don't agree with and assume there is a leak somewhere...

In a new build house. Towel radiators in both the main bathroom and en-suite. Always did have a lot of noise and knew that they needed bleeding, and finally got around to it. Strange type of valve. Crack it open, air comes out, but no water... did this a few times over the next few days, and...

Hi guys, I am in need of some help. Fitted bath OK, and looking at the expensive panel that come with it that is in two parts. Both are a high gloss laminated type. Firstly I assume these should just be joined together (after getting the correct height) with self tappers? There are no...

Sorry more problems! Had a pre installed ideal standard dual flush valve in my cistern (its the type that overflows internally). I noticed that it had a constant flow of water once installed, so took it off and tightened the bottom back nut (thinking it was the external seal) Once on again...

Just fitted my Ideal Standard mixer tap/waste and was greeted with a rush of water down my neck! It appears that there are about four turns of thread on the bottom of the waste (~10mm), but the trap has about 6 turns (~14mm), so the pipe does not pull up and seal.... :roll: Now I assume...

Got a new steel bath, levelled it up and all is well, but just a little motion as the walls do not run true (and the legs are not rigid and allow a bit of flex). I see that this has no brackets underneath like the last (plastic) one I took out. Now, ideally I don't want to start drilling...

Hi guys, Been waiting endlessly for my mate the electrician to come around, and just cannot wait any longer! Got bare walls that need to be boarded up and have installed a shower pump underneath the bath. I need to get some cable in so I can at least start to board up again. What is...

I have a combination of connections, with my new shower pump etc. I am just trying to get my head around what the simplest way to connect it all up would be. I thought I could use flexible hoses, but I think it would require too many adapters and they are not long enough.... :cry: Anyway...

Sorry for bringing up this thread, but I have the same problem, but is pretty much the whole year around..... There is no obvious holes from the front or lost tiles, it is more a case of them getting in from the tiny gaps between the last tile and the fascia... I went up and tried to plod...

Hi there, Just ripped out my bathroom, and have two 22mm (I guess) pipes from the hot and cold side of the bath. Now, it's a gravity fed system, and I purchased a Grohe 2000 shower as it stated that it would work on a LP system. But I also got the Tarantofill kit which quote that it is HP...

How is this done? :? I am considering wall mounted taps, but as an afterthought, considered how you tile it? Sorry for the dumb question. Either a hole cut in the tile to let it through or cutting out part of the tile? If it is the latter would probably just go with normal mounted...

Hi guys, Yesterday I reported on how my fan died on the Baxi Solo 2 PF, and after turning on the trusty immersion heater.....nothing! Looking at it, it seems to be an indirect cylinder....so thats a complete new tank right? :cry: Cheers, Mark
