Thank God someone's got some brains Its the first thing to check

Haha thanks

Nice tip I've never thought of doing that. Can you do it with the system filled or do you have to drain the system.

[@snapgas9832]

You can do it with the system live mate, just don’t tap too hard that you can’t hold on to the spindle 😂

[@strongbow310]

No need to drain

I like jobs like this, nice and easy, not a reliable fix with the honeywell valves as the ball can become unattached

[@snapgas9832]

Exactly that mate! They are great, I’ve also noticed with the honeywells the ball can swell and that way it won’t seal correctly and will pass
