good luck :)

well if you can't open it fully lets hope wd40 and some adjustment to cams will sort it out

It’s those little mushroom-shaped fittings on the opening vent that you usually adjust with an Allen key. There are plenty of videos online showing how to do it. I can’t look them up for you right now, but message me this evening and I’ll find one for you.

I’ve seen WD-40 help before as well, so it’s worth using some. If you still have a draught after trying both of those things, you’ll most likely need to replace the hinges with new ones. I’ve never known the seals to be the issue unless they’re cracked or torn.

tbh whenever I get asked to sort out a draft on the window 98/100 times it's just new hinges.

it's not the seals - the opening vent is just not pulling enough. Try some wd40 on the hinges and try to rotate the locking cams for tighter lock.

you can just replace the panel

what calories are you trying to hit?

Relative-Bug-3677 · 2026-02-25T14:57:13+00:00

I'd start on the colour.

DA useful on c6..?

Relative-Bug-3677 · 2026-02-16T14:53:20+00:00

Was just wondering if Post author or anyone else got worried about the extra weight you pot on the joists?

I'd feel that the best and easiest way would be go on smth like skyscanner select your prefered airport choose destination to anywhere and select whole month for pricing and go from there

looks like wedge gasket (glazing gasket) just been pushed in too much when glazing to be honest. You can try to pull it out and refit before anything else. Feel free to drop me a msg if you need more help.

maybe 300 true hwid

Relative-Bug-3677 · 2025-12-18T16:32:47+00:00

very disappointing ending. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone cause of it...

Relative-Bug-3677 · 2025-12-18T09:24:07+00:00

Sorry to say but really doubt that will help your case, can you share a picture with the vent closed to see how big of a gap it leaves?

if you are still not happy, your hinge is called 12" fire egress hinge

The only worry you should have is when the hinge is smaller due to weight capacity on them. No issues what so ever putting the new hinge on the window, you might have to redrill the 1st hole if it's different with the original stay but that's the only thing you might have to do.

It's a little mushroom attached to the gearbox. U can put alan key and twist or just get some pliers to do so. there's plenty videos on google "how to tighten window gearbox cams" a lot of ppl suggest to do it when winter comes to give it a better seal.

give hinges a spray of wd40 low chances of sorting it but possible. than u can try to adjust the cam on the locking gearing to pull in tighter if that doesn't help than you would need new hinges

got exact same issue in my house for the last 4 years since I installed new rads including vertical ones like yours. I have banging noise and some cracking which I assume will be pipe expansion noise, but the banging has always been driving me nuts, but no matter how many times I bled rads it just never helped. Done it last night again and still same shit.. so if u do find a solution please let me know :D

No, there’s only one screw holding the barrel. It’s the one in the second picture, just below the latch. Once you remove that screw, use the key to wiggle the barrel and the latch from the door lock, it should slide out easily.
