I have an en-suite 'area' which has a shower cubicle and a wash basin. At the moment, there is no door between the room and the en-suite. I want to add a door to the en-suite. Don't know where to start. A cheesy option would be to have a sliding door on rail at top but i want to avoid it as far...

Glad it helped you.

The story may be one of the typical ones... I spilled tarka daal on the buttons of the gas hob. It made one of the gas knobs quite hard to rotate. When I cleaned it thouroughly, the knobs are ok, however the ignition has stopped working. I pulled the cap on the ignition switch and cleaned it as...

Can you please tell me who RS are? sorry for lack of my knowledge.. and on the 'mile long' links, you can make those link small using websites like : http://tinyurl.com/ http://shurl.net/ TIA, SP

Thanks for taking the time to read it. I have moved a few steps further from where I was but it looks like I am heading exactly the same way as you have said. This is what I did, I got rid of the metal plate by punching out the small rivets which held the plate to the plastic. The holder I...

I have been looking for an E27 lampholder to replace the one which has lost it's footing in the set of lamps. This set of lamps is attached to the ceiling fan. The one I am looking for is this : however the closest I could find is this. I tried to get rid of the small metal plate at the...

I had read about someplace where you can upload your images and provide the link in forum posts. Can somebody jog my memory.

I used to use my MSI MS 6967 bluetooth dongle to transfer files from my SE T610 phone to my PC. It all used to work quite well. Then I upgraded my PC to XP SP2 and after that all hell broke loose. Anyways, I have recently got new PC, again I have XP SP2 installed on it. I went on MSI's...

A big thanks to all of you who helped me. At least when the plumber / heating engineer arrived, I knew he was not talking rubbish. The plumber came in yesterday, did the job within an hour. Within the first 5 minutes, he was right on the track and said the pump needs replacing. The plumber was a...

Shall I try and see if the pump moves with heating and hot water switched on or is it unsafe?

Do you mean the pump is running 24 hours a day. It might have tired by now. I could not rotate the pump after removing the screw. Should it rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise (looking from the front) anyways, I could not rotate it at all. Does it need a lot of force or should it be easily...

With CH and HW both switched off from the control panel I opened the screw on the pump. Water started dripping out of it but when I inserted screw driver in it, I could not sense any movement. Should I expect the pump to be running only when CH and HW is on.

The valve indicator does move to M but the radiators are still cold. All the pipes seems equally hot.

Oh I see what you mean. I was thinking that the valve and the electrical box above it is one thing but looks like they are different. Does the electrical thingy (actuator?) move the valve? and you want me to remove the electrical thingy only?

I could not locate anything saying Man / Auto. On one side of the actuator, there is a lever and position markings as W M H Currently the lever is stuck on W. On exactly opposite side of the mid-position actuator, there is a small lever which I can press in but that lever does not have...
