Sir Fallsalot

Have a good make fitted and you will be ok. Make sure you put a corrosion inhibiter in the heating system once your happy its all sealed. And a magnetic filter

It gets better, the new flush valve didn't seal so had to swap that this morning for a different make so that's done now. Decided to put a new bog seat on while i was at it so called into B&Q to get one but when i got home it was grey instead of black ffs. Took it back and had a mess about with the return because i didn't have a receipt, even though i was only there 30min earlier they couldn't find it on their system. Anyhow i got to change it, wondering how i made the mistake of picking up a grey one i double checked, the display one was marked up location 4 and all the seats in location 4 were grey. Then i looked at the display one again and it said the only colours they came in were grey or white yet the display one was bloody black so ended up with a different bog seat to what i wanted as well LOL.

Boilers good it's got a ten year warranty on it and serviced every year, anything wrong with it is an easy fix not like the piece of shit i had before it. Its the heating system i'm worried about, it's at least 25 years old and a lot is buried under floors that will be difficult to get at. There's a few places i can see evidence of leaks where the copper has gone green below compression joints but are dry. My thoughts are whats leaking is so small it's evaporating so i can't see it, i think its got to leak a lot worse before i find it. I did find a leaking hot water pipe while looking for the problem it was wet around the compression nut but dried out as it ran down the pipe that was an easy fix just quarter of a turn with a spanner sorted it.

Please tell me i need all the help i can get

Off work today as i had to visit the dentist this morning for a checkup, or should i say so they could take money off me for the sake of it. I've had a productive day so far, i weighed in some scrap, fitted a steering wheel control interface in the marmite wagon so i can use the buttons i thought i could live without on the steering wheel, took the boy to his training course and just changed the flush valve on the upstairs toilet which has been driving me mad these last few weeks, i originally thought it was the fill valve so i changed that and it was still dripping, the drip, drip, drip, in the nights was driving me insane, so this week I've been turning the water off to it every night to stop the drip, which then led me to the real problem. After turning the water off overnight i found the tank was empty in the morning the flush valve seal was leaking slightly and when the level dropped in the tank the fill valve opened causing the drip, fuck me i can see why the chinks used water torture in the past. Now all i have to do is find the bloody leak on the central heating system, i haven't topped it up since fitting the new boiler about 8 years ago but this last week i have to top up the central heating system daily and i have no idea where its going can't find any wet patches anywhere.

Looks like something homer Simpson has drawn LOL

I think @Six30's brother nicked your scoot @boboneleg https://www.facebook.com/share/r/14hYecsdFp/

I thought that at first as it was in the cold outside bit of the garage but the last time it died it was in the warm inside bit and has been since, i shall have to kick it out in the cold to see if it does it again.

Well i left the battery disconnected for a week the voltage was 13.23v at the start of the week and it was 13.23 at the end so reconnected the battery and after 2 weeks the voltage is 13.20v so not sure what is going on with it.

How is it only now i have discovered this little arrow that takes you straight to the quoted post. god knows how much of my life i have wasted scrolling back through the threads

Injunctions ?

Is that top inlet cam a tooth out or is it the angle the photo's taken from.

Don't you have trace heating on your outdoor water supplies there. I put some on the condense pipe from my central heating boiler a few years ago after it froze and backed up into the house . Our winter temperature's get nowhere near as low as what you have i thought it would be a must there.

Wash your helmet i didn't know this was a thing i just let the new sweat purify the old sweat. Mud and dirt on the outside is classed as camouflage who wouldn't want that

Why am i getting the impression this post is the result of your wife tapping you on the shoulder after your last post LOL

Pinched the tube installing it must have forgotten how to use the rabaconda because you don't need to use the tyre levers to put the tyre back on with it. Anyhow it's done fingers crossed . Now to see if i can get on someones ride today.

FFS

Not been doing much as usual, fitted a home made draft excluder on the inner garage door it was a bit cold on my bare feet in there, and then swapped the XR's front Michelin starcross for a Michelin Tracker i had given to me, took the old tyre to the dump only to find it closed at 16:30 but the marmite wagon got a run, first time in about 3 weeks the rest of the time i spent hiding from the cold in the house. Not sure what i'm doing tomorrow yet.

They pay to take them off you here

Someone in south wales TRF done this because we've been struggling with the second man rule

I caught a glimpse of lord Herefords knob in the clouds and could see a light sprinkling of the white stuff on it. In clyro now 3.5c dry wth broken cloud cover take it easy on your ride

As long as its works for you that's all that matters. I found as i grow older Function over form is cropping up all the time

I recon he was perving over Clive sat on his sofa with just his underpants on basking in his new found warmth
