Folks,
Hopefully the first pic shows the tank on first floor (in bathroom cupboard). There is a drip INTO the tank from under the white plastic thing atop the copper securing device of the BRAND-NEW ball-cock. When the tank fills a bit more this drip slows right down but does not stop, so when I go away for a week and water is not being drained from the tank, it fills and the water drips out through the overflow pipe. What can I do to the ballcock to stop it dripping, or is it a fault one?
Secondly - on the second photo shows the old (is it?) piping system that leads up to the tank. One pipe (the one on the right in the pic) has a old-looking tap on it and the pipe has been been marked "Cold water main" - would this better being replaced and is it the one that I should turn off to stop the water getting into the tank if need be?
