I have just visited my caravan to find a nightmare it looks like it was not drained down proparly as I have been fixing burst pipes all day 9 sections in total lol just got home been there since 9am nightmare.
I thought I had done all the hard work but before I left I decided to try the boiler I nearly died when I saw it had a slight leak right at the bottom on what looks like a brass flying saucer.
Then I checked the brass nut I normally unscrew when I drain down and realised it would not tighten any further it just keeps slipping and then it started to leak slightly.
Anyway I took the nut out and it looks like the threads are a bit worn.
Anyone got any Idea how much damage could be done to the boiler Im hoping a new nut or some thread tape might solve the problem is this wish full thinking ?
I couldnt take any photos because I had no phone with me but Ive managed to find a simular part on ebay and used that as a pic.
any help lads before I phone a corgi man I would use my insurance but It would just go sky high.
thanks for any advice )
