Yeah that's the job . There are different types of them . They basically push into the plaster board and open out like an umbrella inside the wall. As you tighten them they fix to the inside of the plaster board .

Sound stuff Babbs, seems nicely secure.

But ffs, the HDMI doesnt fit between wall and tv so had to order a slim one off ebay. Nothing ever easy.

Lads would your local Woodies etc. stock plastic tubing? Anyone know what the price would be, imagine the longer the length the cheaper.

Babbsballs there seems to be a problem with our boiler. Its a combi boiler yoke but just today when we went to turn the heating on it started making mental loud clunking noises and wouldnt fire up. Any idea what it might be? Up until now it was okay with the heating but if one person had a shower and then turned off the water then another person couldnt get into the shower and have hot water it would always be cold when they went to turn on the shower a second time. The landlord is sending around a plumber tomorrow, I just hope its not a huge job. Any idea's?

Shower head built up with grit so bought new one. Worked like magic (some difference) for about two weeks and now problem is that temp is fluctuating all the time and pressure gone to sh*t. But if you remove shower head the hose is as it should be. I rinse out the grit (north dublin = hard water) and it's ok for a short period of time. Anyone solved this problem? Pain in hole rinsing the yoke out when you just want to hop in/hop out in the morns.

Question.

Went to bleed a single rad upstairs and the Fcuking screw yoke corroded and crumbled away. Is it straightforward to change a rad or do I need a plumber. i.e. Can I just turn off water and lash a new one on or is it harder job than that?

Best bet is to just drill a little hole in top of rad and screw a self tapper screw with a bit of plumbing tape wrapped around it does the job, dont do this while the system is on
Just because it's tradition does not make it right

Cheers Daithi. I had heard of this before alright. Can you drill the hole anywhere? And will water spray all over the place if I was to do this?

Top of rad at either end, make sure system is not on when doing this,  if rad is needing bleeding then should not really have any spillage when you drill the hole, use a small bit and a screw to fit same, you can then use screw to bleed the rad when needs be
