Hi Al, Thanks for tip use a tap washer, if any body struggles to drill it out trap it in a vice between to bits of ply & a pair of grips, spray wd40 while drilling then it will cut clean hole, from Coventry in the UK.

Happy New Year to you all. Just love Little Mo, so cute. Who was the extra actor in the back of the vlog - little kitty? Lol. Al can you please do a vlog explaining the valves on your rad and what they do? I have just a old gas boiler system and my rad valves just have white caps, the brass nipples and the x2 washer you unscrew for the PTFE tape. A mystery to me is which valve lets water in and which regulates the temp. Now is it the left for temp and the right valve for water flow etc? This idiot would love a guide to the rad system lol 😂. Ooh another question, why are some of my rads double rads and some not? Is it just a case of what the plumber installs on the day? Ooooh yet another question, why do bathroom rads have a thermostat control and all the other rads don’t? Sooo many questions, lol

Our shower has a diverter that switches between the shower and bath tap, but both leak depending on whichever one it is turned to. Does this mean it's more a tap washer issue? Thanks

Hey. Im having this issue. I bought a new hose too (swapped for a 1.25m rather than the old 2.0m one. When I try to install the new hose with new washers, lots of water comes out of the inlet in the wall. Any ideas. TIA

No, the rubber splits and you just cannot do anything with it.
