In preparation for replacing the basin and washing machine waste pipe

I'll stop the washing machine gurgle, I thought to myself.

Now, there is a distinct drain smell in the cloak room ... so clearly
something is amiss. Is there any trick with these traps (no
instructions on bag) or is it just (a) crap design, or (b) just my
luck - faulty ?

dump it and get a HepVO - Ebay abt £10
