I'll get some snaps of the setup for you tomorrow. The current valve has a knurled knob to turn. That's where the problem seems to be, as when I applied some plumber's tape in a bid to stem the leak, I got a jet of water to the eye. I'm looking at something similar on the screwfix website as a possible replacement.

P.S. What are olives? Other than the green things you put in martinis LOL

Compression Ring in the picture. The "body" would be the valve you'll be replacing.

Right, OK, now I see what you mean.

Need to see if I've a spanner to fit the nuts. If not, money spent on good tools is never wasted.

Any replacement will come with the compression nuts and olives as a complete piece. You can cheat and possibly use the old fittings, replacing just the valve.

I've been trying to tidy up my bookcase.

I have one of two possible problems:

A. My bookcase is too small.

Or

B. I have too many books.



Perhaps the amount of bookcases you need is n+1!

That is a problem I am *very* familiar with.

I have books stacked on the floor in the sitting room because I've nowhere else to put them.

How many Centauri does it take to change a light bulb?

Just one.

But in the days of the old republic, hundreds of servants would change thousands of lightbulbs at our whim.

How many Minbari does it take to change a lightbulb?

One. But they don't finish the job and never tell you why.

Note: Reynard Bonuses for anyone who gets the reference.

And it's time for me to put the writing away and trot off to bed via a nice hot bath.

Aye there's 2 nurses at my GP's surgery, one knows what she's doing but the other just pokes around for ages so you end up with a bruise the size of a half-crown. Mind I managed to get my type 2 under control by losing over 20Kg, got my blood pressure down too still slightly high but in the 'acceptable' range now.
