Most of it is unproblematic but you always know a pain in the rear is round the corner.
Changing a WC and two rads in a house. WC was bought from B+Q and rads from toolstation.
WC had barely visible hairline crack on underside which leaked when flushing so only noticed when installed. Also spigot was formed too small and every single pan connector pee'd water when flushing. Took it back and swapped it for another which sorted it.
Both rads had brackets that didn't engage fully with rads. One was 400 by 500 and so once piped didn't make much bones but big one a no-go but it didn't matter anyway as it didn't have the blank, bleed, plugs and screws packaged with it. Had used my last spares on a previous job.
Cheap as chips but when it backfires you don't half waste your bleeding time.
