Hi All I've just finished fitting a new kitchen for my mother in law. The new oven has arrived today to go into the same place as the old one. John Lewis won't fit it because there is a washing machine waste pipe running behind the oven position and they also wanted the rear to be...

Cheers fellas, Toilet down. Nice and level. Thanks

It's a fairly dusty/sandy concrete.

Hi all. I can't use the screws to fix down the pan because of pipes. I wanted to use a mix to bed it down but have heard that bonding plaster can crack a pan. What should i use? Thanks for your help. Buzzbob

Thanks Picasso. Fixed. I don't know why it wasn't working before. The boiler stat knob is a bit knackered so maybe I didn't have it properly turned off. Who knows. Cheers

There's no one in at the moment. Do you think i should be able to hear the gas flowing when I press in the valve button?

Really hoping you can help. All my appliances are all ganging up on me and the boiler has decided it's time to play up. i'm trying to relight my boiler. I've done it a few times in the past but can't seem to get it right this time. The programmer is calling for heat to the rads and the...

Thanks for all your comments-they are all gratefully recieved.

The engine has done about 30k and its a 2002 reg. The car was serviced as per the recommendations for its first three years and then i started taking it to my regular mechanic who i've used for years. The noise started at about 25k. I'll get hold of some flushing oil and give that a shot...

Thanks for taking the time to read this..... My (trusted) mechanic has told me that the clacking noise in the first ten minutes of the engine running is probably something called cam over run. He feels that as the car is tired its not worth spending the time and money trying to sort it out...

I think i've finished. I think it's made a difference. I think i don't ever want to do that again.

I'm about to fire up the boiler and add some chemical to the system. Only thing is i've got the vent and feed pipes joined in the loft. Is it still ok to fire up? Does the machine cope with the expansion problem? Thanks for the help. Buzz Anyone know how to extract a cat from...

I had spoken to a couple of guys about putting in a new boiler (due to a persistant kettling problem). They were unable to get it done until late jan. They mentioned that they would then do a powerflush-I then stumbled upon the possibility of hiring. I believed (rightly or wrongly) that a...

Thanks for the replies..... Wow-I had to look up what a Job's comforter was. I think i've got it. I did get to hire the kit at 10:00 on sat morning. I then spent hours and hours trying to free off the pump nuts! :evil: After many attempts at heating with a blow torch i finally won. I have...

That's easy. I won't be chucking that magnet at the thing because it would involve throwing it through the nicely finished ceiling i put in without a hatch. I stood there looking up into the ceiling void and said those words " i'll never need to get in that space again, I'll just board it...
