If the existing Tails are a suitable size & In good condition , I’d look at running them Into a Henley Block in your Flat & run 25mm tails from there into the new Consumer Unit Regards Phil

I’ve fitted plenty of Electric Showers over the years , it’s always a case of you get what you pay for imo , I’ve fitted plenty of Showers specifically designed for the Older generation , one I’d always recommend is the Mira Advance its costly maybe around £320 or so but it’s got the safety...

I’ve worked round dry clutches at the Speedway 20+ years working on the Bikes so I know a stinky clutch , I’m pretty sure it was stinking / almost smoking , maybe a bit of Pilot error as I was trying to park up … maybe 3rd gear selected ‍♂️ it seems ok now ….. maybe I’ll be back on here sometime...

Hi Guys Here we go with an update , Mechanic from the Garage called round at lunch time , had a look under the Bonnet and showed me the problem , one of the Cable ends had come off it’s ball , the end just pushes on , so thsts reverse back again, we both had a Test drive and all seems fine now...

Hi John In fairness I E mailed the Garage last night and received a reply within ten minutes , it’s a small Independent Garage that’s got a good reputation locally , and he asked me what had happened etc , so fair play to them (for now) I’ve moved the Van from over the Road and there’s no...

This is along the lines of the right Tool , it’s a Skirting Board saw , most good Hire shops will have them Phil

We Insulate a lot of Sheds & Concrete sectional Garages , we use 50mm Kingspan ( if the Shed Framing Battens are deep enough ) or we batten out the Framing to enable the Kingspan to fit with an air gap behind it , we always use 6mm or 9mm Plywood glued & nail gun pinned , there’s always a chance...

I fit supplies to lots of Sheds / Garages , imo always best to have minimal joints in a Supply Cable , so for me it’s SWA all the way , at the Con Unit either gland it onto the Con Unit or terminate into a Wiska or Metal box & carry the Cable through to the Con Unit cheers Phil

It may be the Fan they have fitted has a long Spigot at the back ,& as a result it doesn’t fit flush , others don’t do get the Co to replace it with another Brand with a small spigot / rear section Phil

Hi yes I’ve used the Anti slip decking Paint (Cuprinol) it’s got like a grit in the Paint , it covers well & yes it does work even on icy days Regards Phil

It needs venting out either via a Vent on the Soffitt ( if you have one ) or through a Tile Vent , or as others say there’ll be problems in the Loft space in the future . Phil
