    First property mortgage £30k joint income at time £22 interest rate went up to 15%, so what if that situation, interest rates, happened today. We are talking 89ish
    If you remember its when we had to come out of the exchange rate mechanism and who was lurking in the background when Mr Lamont went to the press a very young Master D Cameron

    Interest rate need to rise as a safe conveyor for investments

    when we started out on the housing market, my parents and the”older” guys I worked with at the time said as a rule of thumb one weeks wages should cover your mortgage, the rest of the month spread over other bills and spends, i have always maintained this philosophy

    so where does this fit into the “modern” concept of living. maybe sensible and safe is what we should return to

    when i see job adverts locally i cannot understand where the drive is coming from the push prices up. yes there maybe a lot of interest in a property but affording it is another matter

    Just dont understand this, houses around me, rural North East Wales have been up for ages some drastically reduced some not, probably due to negative equity.

    Wheres the jobs boom to fuel the prices and I dont mean the figures banded around by government stato’s, good secure well paying jobs that will allow people to make these types of commitments

    We used to 12 car rally’s and single venue many years ago, I’m afraid to say money, car, tyres, spares makes a real difference to your placing.

    If you want to get on in rallying then you have to chase a one make championship running current manufacturers models,BIG BUCKS

    Checked the pipe run, no pooling of oil either on floor or boiler tray. the pressure check point needed nipping up but that seem dry now.
    The smell does seem to be coming from the air pipe, unburnt fuel in combustion chamber. once running smell goes/ burnt off
    the feed pipe appears dry, when you say incorrect thread UNC to JIC or NPT?

    Visiting service engineers from the states refer to the above as “hex wrenches” for some reason

    Youve all mentioned big faults but as with my Priimera the engine warning light, multiple misfire, crank, cam sensor coil packs all expensive and no one could resolve. Sold on due to looming MOT failure due to fault. Laptop work can consume a lot of money

    The plastic coated pipe, qualpipe, on there web site says it isn’t I’ve stable and only suitable for burying. This will mean starting in standard copper going to plastic, under the path and then returning to copper for the rest of the run

    Thanks b r couldn’t find that page of info, will ring local plumbers merchant about the plastic coated piping, however,one of my neighbours recently had there tank replaced and relocated but has been done in standard 10mm copper with screw fitting on every corner- carried out by registered installer

    Ok thanks for the above info, however, will have to bury part of the supply pipe.

    Oftec info only says consult with installation team etc, what have they done in your case, I was going to pass copper pipe through hose for additional protection prior to back filling

    Would hydraulic lock, thread sealent be ok. We use this in work on standard oil piping so I presume this would be the same as heating oil/ kerosene
