Boiler pilot light purging?

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

I have done so in the past very successfully. My point was to pack the gland on the stopcock with PTFE tape in a string. I have done this very successfully.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

To save yourself ?3.

To save going out for a new tap, turning the water off and fitting the tap. It took all of 5 minutes to pack the gland ............. if that. Btw, if it was the gland that was weeping on your stopcock, you can tighten it up very easily. But you knew that.

I had no complaints until last night, then I found out that Quotefix had been deleted by that bloody Firefox update. It also gave me 14% fragmentation and I've no idea why.

Some use O-rings. Sometimes it's just a better policy to replace. Saves fighting all those years of internal crud and soon to be failing washer.

I don't concern myself with fragmentation, you need a bloody crappy old = slow disk to care about that. Those one with the stepper motors from th= e 80s for example.

The whole tap looked very old, I thought it best to avoid future leaks. = Click on Ebay to get new tap, freeze pipes and fit. Easy.

A high IQ is like a Jeep. You still get stuck, just further from help.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

I think mine was an O ring and it was not very old when it began to weep. It is an outside tap and has been fine for the past few years with the PTFE.

Never mind.

Defragging is no big deal.

I was talking about a tap in the attic for the central heating. Not the= kind of thing I want to drip again.

Last time I saw that pipe freezing method it turned into a right balls up.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Once a month, it does not take long. I think Quotefix had turned itself off.

[Tough Guy no. 1265]

I've never seen it cause an improvement. Even on a crappy old computer = with much fragmentation. Only upgrading the RAM helps.

Odd.

Worked fine for me. Two foam tubes, one each side of the tap. Fill the= m with freeze spray from an aerosol.

Did you remember to turn the heating off? ;-)

I only use SSD hard drives. They never need fragmenting. I would never go back to the ancient and slow mechanical drives. Whenever I'm sorting out other peoples computers that have mechanical HDDs, they seem to crawl along at a snails pace compared to SSDs.

[Bod]

So you had to pay for a freezing kit as well?

I think I already had one. Or borrowed one. They come in handy anyway.=
