Even though it says only trimable by 12mm I'm worred I may cut into the core and expose whatever is inside as they are only vanered

I need two pine 6 panel doors at 26 1/2 inch (673 ?) The 686mm ones in wickes say only trimmable by 12 mm is this to close for comfort or have I got some leeway with them ? Or can someone point me in the right direction to get some reasonably priced pine doors that are solid pine and can be...

I just need some help with what this may be worth to sell It comes with a few blades Any help would be appreciated

A couple of times recently something that is running from my garage (possibly the pond) Has tripped out my rcd in the house I know I need to find the cause of the problem but to stop this happening in the future is it possible to fit a 2nd rcd in the garage consumer unit that will trip before...

All the fuel components are new tank fuel lines filter etc But it would be easy to setup a temporary tank just to be sure I will also check the new coil to see if it's getting hot

Finally I have fitted the new electric fuel pump wired from the ignition switch After charging the battery it started fine and ran for about 10 mins then just cut out ? After a couple of turns it then restarted another 10 mins same thing just died Could this be a fuel thing ? The engine has now...

The only issue I have left...

Yes I agree I wish I would have done that at the beginning It shouldn't be to bad being that the engine is in a boat it is only the basic ignition and charge wiring As a matter of interest if the engine is ticking over for a few minuets it suddenly dies ? Could this also be due to the...

" initial rotor magnetisation " ? If the warning light is nessasary it could explain a problem I have noticed I started the engine today and the amp guage wasn't working Checked battery and was only getting around 12.4 volts I then gave it a good hard rev up and all was well again ? Amp guage...

No I only have two lights one says hot and the other oil but I have never seen them on I do have an amp gauge but haven't a clue how that's wired The alternator has two wires one thick brown one and one smaller blue one The regulator also had two one blue and one red on terminals marked I & F...

That's great I will just tape them up them Just as a matter of interest my alternator has only two wires attached one is obviously the charge wire so would the other have gone to the regulator ? And then from the regulator to ??? Many thanks for the help

Thanks everyone for your advice And after some adapting of the old mounts I have now fitted a new 75 amp alternator I'm assuming the box in the picture was the regulator from the old system I have removed it but do I need to do anything with the wires One red and one blue I can't find where...
