    Yes and kind of .... but, it'd be the wrong size screwdriver and the wrong pliers.

    Somewhere .... in all those boxes I packed and "tidied away/tucked away/stacked" .... I do possess such things.

    It'd take either good luck, or a long time, to source them all.

    Okay, I give up. You do need the plumber. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I'll live. Chap whose door I'd have banged on just to top up water is out too, spotted that when I went for the curry.

    The thing is .... I know what to do ... but have a fear of turning it/doing it too hard in the wrong direction and it all just going Pete Tong.

    I've done that. Got the T-shirt, etc.

    Pastures, for next time......once the plumber's been and told you what to do, write it on a label and tie the label to the lever/pipe, etc.

    That's what I did, for the avoidance of doubt in the future.

    One never sees the same boiler twice, so the next one will be different.

    Holiday is nice and all that...but home is nicer even if it now looks like we were burgled while we were away.

    Still no car window but the temp sheet of Perspex lasted the motorway. New record journey time without suffering a breakdown - 7 hours for 240 miles even though we set off by 10:30 :(
    I think....

    No, this is only the second time it's needed topping up in 4 years.

    I can't work out your first sentence. Were you burgled? Or has your unpacking left a slight mess?

    I read back and realised it could be read either way, the answer is luckily the latter.


    I always think if we were really burgled the thieves would be most disappointed, there is zilch of any value in the house and they would have to spend hours searching through the carp to discover that :)
    I think....
