Any Neff experts out there please? My Neff single oven timer is showing an error code CO 6. It will flash 0:00 but if I press it to set the time it goes back to CO 6. Any ideas if this is easily resolved by me or do I need to call in the experts for megabucks! Looking at the price of a...

My Neff oven timer has suddenly decided to stop beeping when time is up. It now just makes a horrible weak buzzing sound. Also it will suddenly go from clock reading to a flashing 0:00 display as though the electricity supply has failed. Is this something I can fix or look at myself? Just to...

When our toilet cistern (Geberit) has finished filling after flushing we get a loud bang which we assume is a loose pipe. This started as a gentle clunk but has gradually got worse. We hear it below in the kitchen cupboard also (situated directly below the loo) where the stopcock is. How can we...

Just recently we've been hearing a juddering clunk when the toilet cistern has finished filling. Toilet is a Geberit UP200 and only 1 year old. It also happens when you turn the cold water tap off suddenly in the kitchen (just below bathroom) but to a lesser degree. I guess this is water hammer...

When you turn the cold tap off in the kitchen or the toilet cistern has finished filling after flushing you can hear a horrible judder of the pipe as the water stops. This has only recently started happening. We had a washing machine repair man in and a central heating service guy here working a...

Had Click Clack wastes fitted in new bath and basin when we had our new bathroom installed recently and both leak slightly (can't leave a face cloth soaking in basin for long as water disappears and can't run a bath in advance if you want it to remain full). I'm no plumber and we had such...

We have just had the above mentioned bath installed by a bathroom fitter and it looks like there's been a bit of a cock-up! Just wondered if anyone has fitted one of these and encountered any problems. The legs appear to have been installed incorrectly and they haven't allowed sufficient...

Not sure if this is a silly question but here goes.................. :oops: Just had a new bathroom fitted. ST pump fitted in airing cupboard for shower and taps. Pump noise isn't too bad considering but of course we have now realised that if the taps are run during the night it sounds loud...

Have chosen Astro downlights Vancouver or Mint x 3 for new, small, bathroom (70's style bath/loo knocked together). Can someone advise re 12v or 240v please? We would like to use a dimmer switch and I like the idea of a crisp white light (don't like yellowy hue) but know nothing about the...

Would 1,600 btus be sufficient to heat a bathroom approx 2m sq with 2 windows? This is a combination of small heated towel rail (175W) and underfloor heating over roughly half the room area. Thank you for any help or advice

Please may I have some advice re which pumped shower to go for? Currently trying to choose between the Trevi therm with a Stuart Turner pump(very ugly says my plumber!) or an Aqualisa Aquavalve thermo 700 with the pump that's in their brochure. Sorry can't remember name. I need a strong shower...

Since we had new taps fitted in our bathroom the water seems to be slow running filling the toilet cistern and flowing from taps to fill bath and wash basin. Any ideas why? The guy who did the job is a 'jack of all trades' kind of guy and to be honest he didn't do a very good job of fitting the...

Can someone tell me where to find parts (lint filter) for this warm air heating unit? I understand Lincoln were taken over by someone............ Any ideas anyone?

Can someone tell me where I can get hold of a filter for my Mother's warm air heating unit please? I understand that I may have to cut one to size from a larger square. Any suggestions of where to source would be a great help. The last 2 plumbing/heating chaps who have serviced the unit haven't...

Virtually ever since we had our central heating system installed 2 years ago we have had an intermittant fault whereby the pump still runs even though the hot water and heating system is turned off. The only way to stop it is by switching off at the power socket in the airing cupboard. Usually...

Is there such a gadget that can drill around corners? I have just bought an expensive made to measure blind for the kitchen which fits outside the recess. Took old blind down and filled holes, papered over etc. Can't now fit the new blind because there's a kitchen cupboard in the way (sideways...

We had a new Ideal condensing boiler fitted last September. Previous CH was semi gravity, open vented system, oil boiler. Our plumber is very competent and conscientious. He is now tearing his hair out. We started to get air in the rads. Three in particular (two of which have been moved in the...
