Old microbore system

[MyMate]

All the radiator joints leak at the pipe/valve joint. I have been told that I can no longer get new olives for these smaller microbore fittings. Is there any temporary fix? as I cannot replace the whole system yet.

Have you tried Poly Tetra Fluor Ethylene in thin tape form or LSX or even both together?

Pish tish. I'll sell you as many as you like , in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 15mm at £1 each. (90+p profit )

Ok - http://www.bes.ltd.uk

But I'd do as Tony suggests first. (That PTFE tape is the normal one plumbers use)

Dont believe everything that you are told. Do crime figures ever reduce? Or the tax take reduce?
