    In  that case it was nice to put a face to the name Clive and yes I struck lucky in the fourth marina I tried along Riverside.

    If anyone is thinking of updating/changing their water system, I can recommend a variable pressure pump. They're VERY expensive, but there's continuous pressure assured at all times (no pulsing, very good for thermostatic mixer valves), they're quiet enough that you won't hear them in the night if someone wants a drink, and there's no need for an accumulator tank. Not a project to do for the sake of it, but worth considering if you need to rip your old stuff out anyway!

    This is for houses/ flats - yes?

    I've had it a couple of times, I can normally tell by the dripping from the overflow outside when the tank is heating up, mine has expansion tank on it's side which stresses the bladder I think.

    you won't have an accumulator at home as mains supplies the pressure and you won't drain the local water tower brushing your teeth (Rob Beckett might...).

    Expansion vessels in homes should be sited vertically, being the correct colour for the application and I`ll wager that there are far more accumulator tanks around than many imagine.

  4. I`ve read that MB watched the tyre temperatures dropping off and became concerned about a DNF, they threw the dice hoping for either a pit stop under the safety car or the track drying out neither of which happened on a track that was different from last year in terms of tyre wear.
