    Repairing a dripping tap - what’s next?

    That is my thinking as well. Thank you very much for confirming this. And it has made my mind up that I’m going to have both taps replaced. Thank you everybody for your advice.

    Repairing a dripping tap - what’s next?

    Yes but it doesn’t have the same small metal rod and plastic part it sits on. Does that matter?

    Repairing a dripping tap - what’s next?

    Ok so an electrician who was installing some lights for us also does taps and he managed to get the cartridge out. It required a better clamp and a certain level of “f it” when applying the right amount of force. Next up is finding the correct cartridge. Searching for the product code N35HBS...

    Repairing a dripping tap - what’s next?

    Thanks for the tip. I'll get one tomorrow. And I'll squirt a load of WD40 on it before I set off. I bought an adjustable spanner but the nut absolutely refuses to move. In fact it’s become a bit oval and the spanner just slips round and is flattening the thread. Any further ideas before I...

    30 minutes trip and £11 at Toolstation and the ring came off. Now what? (I don’t have an adjustable spanner big enough to grip the flat spots on the threaded bit showing here).

    It does neither. Since it's dome shaped, I can't grip it with anything. Any tips? Thanks

    Ok, I'm worried about marking it. I'll try putting a flannel round it before using a variable gripping thing. Cartridge. Like for 80's video games? I'll hopefully get it apart and then take the innards to a plumbers merchants and ask for a new Donky Kong cartridge. :) Thanks.

    Repairing a dripping tap - what’s next?

    Hello folks, I’m trying to fix this slow leaking tap myself and I’m stuck here. How do I dismantle it further to replace whatever needs replacing to fix the drip? (The chrome ring round the top will not unscrew by hand.) Many thanks

    I'm working on the forum over the next few weeks

    Agree. I’m very conscious about balancing revenue with user experience on AVForums. Here I think you have too many ads. They are intrusive and interfere with the experience of using the forum.

    Do I need to change my water cylinder?

    Thanks. It’s pretty powerful. At least 3 bar, I would say. It feels as powerful as in my last house which was measured at around 4 bar when we had an unvented system put in. Put it this way, the shower heads will fly off the holders if we turn them up full blast.

    Do I need to change my water cylinder?

    Yes, I was planning on having a plumber do it, but if a new tank is needed, then I’ll be killing two birds.

    Do I need to change my water cylinder?

    Thank you. So I can clear the expense with the other half, could you say why, please?

    Do I need to change my water cylinder?

    Thank you. This is in the airing cupboard on the landing. It's always very hot in there.

    Do I need to change my water cylinder?

    Erm. It's a hot water tank. Isn't that a thermal store?
