First off - it doesn't have to be this cam. Just that this is the one I happen to be looking at. The username should give you an idea of my ability. I can drill holes and I can follow video guides but if I'm given a text list of instructions telling me to put the thingymajig in the doohickey...

Thanks. These caps, would they be some universal size? Or do i need to try & get under there with a ruler? Also what am i searching for when looking for these caps? I don't imagine i'll get too far with "sink caps" :) But i don't suspect they'll have too much of a technical name.

Hi Basically we've had a leak for some time. The water doesn't gush out. It isn't even consistent (it seems), but it does leak. Anyway, I had another look today after i'd poured the washing up water away & it looks like the leak is coming from that bit that sticks up on the left that looks...

I bought a pack of nozzles from B&Q. Unibond nozzles i think they were. I had a Wurth decorators caulk cartridge I also had a Dow Corning silicone sealant cartridge. Used the Wurth one, binned the nozzle, put the new one i'd bought on, came to use it some time later, no problem, new...

Is specific radiator paint what should be used, or is it marketing nonsense & other paint is fine/just as good/better? Basically what to use? With the skirting & rails having just been painted (water based) white, they're nice & bright, whereas the radiators are a bit cream now, aside from...

Yeah the video i saw on how to measure said measure using the door But all other guides i read said measure the existing lock, as measuring the door is only rough guide anyway & you can get it wrong. Anyway, it's done now. Another job ticked off :)

I'm wondering how flush is flush, because they arrived today & they're VERY flush, to the point where i'm thinking are they sat TOO FAR back (on the exterior)?? I kinda of like them, but i don't like how they stick out so much on the inside. I would've liked it to have been less. It's now 9mm...

I thought about that after i hit post actually but didn't have time to edit on my breaks. It's pretty handy that you can get different colour tops with the ABS keys. For that i'd probably have to go on a trafflic light system :lol: red for front door, yellow for side door & green for back...

Ahh I was considering them thumb turn locks but yeah we have a window next to it. Also am I missing something about the ABS locks? You say if I lose a key then id need to change all locks. Though what I've read just says you need to quote your serial number & they send you out a new key...

1. I saw a guide saying you shouldn't have it protruding too much. This is typical of mine: It sticks out 5mm on the inside, 4mm on the outside. Is that fine? Just the piece i was reading was making it sound like it'd be better flush. 2. Is there a bad thing about having the...

Oh I googled that filling loop thing mentioned. No wonder I couldn't find the mentioned hose. On my boiler it's a key & nut thing. Are you saying this could have been left open? I'm positive that it was put back to the locked padlock position though.

What's wrong with the pipe work? I'm assuming you mean by the boiler & not the rad? That water look ok? I assumed (probably wrongly) it'd be more clear. And just to double check - did you mean Wooster or did your device autocorrect that from Worcester?

I had a look tonight & i forgot the name. I know it has a "si" in it so i googled it & i think it's a Worcester Greenstar Si. Drained off more, took it to approx 1.6bar, my wife stopped by on the way home an hour or so later & from her diagram :lol: It's about 1.9bar. I took a photo of...

Oh right hahaha ... I thought that's what was meant when the term circular saw (a round blade) was used. Just googled circular saw now & nope we certainly don't have one of them. Haha what an idiot :D
