[Misc] Plumbing advice?

[Balders]

Quick question - was in the loft this morning and noticed a slow steady drip coming from the Header Tank. Ran the hot water in the bathroom for 30 secs and back in the loft the Header Tank was filling (as it should?) and then when it stopped, the slow steady drip appeared again. Nothing coming out of the overflow - is the ball valve on the way out or is this normal?

Core drilling not my favourite job and can never get the fecking things apart afterwards without stress

Put grease on the thread and also a couple of rubber o rings at base of thread

What I do in situations such as this is simply avoid going in the loft.

Problem solved.

Whenever Mrs Bodian hears a new rattle in the car, I turn the stereo up. As you say - problem solved.
