since i got here and turned on the water again ..... ( and found water pissing out of the shower unit and boiler ) its been great lol..... new shower control valve ( £80 )..... new boiler actuation and control valve ( £120 so far ) ....plus call out charges and labour costs , i now have a sodding wet through bedroom and hallway carpet :(.....a bloke with a machine called a rug doctor has just been up and sucked water out of the carpets but its still wet, ive tried the vax carpet washer we have down here ( on spill mode ) and thats sucking up water too, although it seems to be drying out a bit now that the boiler has been fixed, but its still piss wet through ........ oh the joys of a holiday ..... at least i will get some of my money back from the rest of the family , if it wasnt for bad luck id have no luck at all lol ........ on a good point the drive down here was fantastic .

ps anyone got a snorkel and flippers ? :lol:lol

Hope the leak doesn't put too much of a dampener on your break (geddit) Briggie, have a good un! :thumb2

the haven gas engineer / plumber has fixed the boiler ,and the shower unit ..... no leak anymore , but still a piss wet through carpet in the bedroom and hallway , the vax carpet washer is picking up a tankfull of water everytime in the bedroom alone ! :eek: , although it is seeming to take longer to fill it :thumb2 ..... they have advised not to use a hair dryer / heater as this may make the carpet shrink , they said it is better to let it dry naturally .. he estimates a couple of days to dry it out completely :o
