Hi Guys,

Can someone tell me please.  I've found some dripping where the cold water pipe is attached to the tap under the washbasin.  Is this just a case of a loose plastic fitting, or is there a washer like you have on a washing machine connection?

 

Thanks

Ps:- Thanks to you guys who helped with my previous question..!

'Tis the season of Leaky Taps'

Sounds like frost damage from not draining down the system before the onset of winter.

You may wish to call one of these: NCC Approved Workshops

To avoid the problem happening again. Once the power is switched off and the water pump is disconnected.

1. Open the yellow drain valve(s) (or equivilant).
2. Open all the taps.
3. Lay the shower head on the shower tray.

Sorry Michael, none of these. I think these are a bit too modern for our van. It's a 1992...Thanks for trying though!
