Ummm....if you have hot water, why do you have to replace the
immersion heater?

Or is this the best window of opportunity?

Best to leave it until you have a time when merchants are not going to
close.
Question for the experts - Is it preferable to try and crack it loose
whilst it is full of water - to avoid risk of damage to the cylinder???


IME yes, its much stronger when kept "taught" by the mass of water in it.

Oh dear, I don't think this is going to increase my popularity,
'taut'. (It does mean you don't have to quote it really though).

:-) :-)


Apologies - fumbled it as I typed, and then took the first spell check
option without looking carefully enough!
