All,
Just fitted new washbasin in the bathroom. I have screwed in the waste
fitting and connected up the waste pipes. All looks ok, until I turn the
tap on.... it appears as though as soon as the over-flow chamber gets
full (as the chrome plug /basin seal is obviously not water tight and
water leaks into the overflow chamber surrounding the plug hole fitting
even at low flow) the seal where the waste screws starts to leak. It
appears as though the large rubber washer between the waste screw and
nut isn't doing its job. HELP !!
I have tried all variations on tightness of this screw fitting but with
no luck. Any tips ?? What am I doing wrong ?!

Basically the wash basin is not fit for purpose and has been designed badly.. Why can't a company like Pennine simply sort the issue out and do a recall on all affected models - it quite frankly puts me off the company as it appears to not care about a major issue affecting the whole camper unit.
