Hi all My mum is looking for a new car and I must admit I am kind of useless in helping out. She wants something small (currently drives a 3 door 2005 Yaris). We have looked at the i10, but the Hyundai garage was less than useless so have crossed that off the list. The Mazda 2 was a nice car...

It does seem F1 shoot themselves in the foot they tell Pirelli to make tyres that degrade but then the drivers complain when they do. It seems to be the same with everything that F1 impose on the sport, leads to drivers complaining and fans getting annoyed. I've been watching Indy Car this...

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has used plastic lawn edging. I haven't seen any in gardening shops but looking at it online it looks like a good idea but just wondering if it actually works or looks ok once in a flower bed/grass border?

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where is best to purchase wood and pallets to use for carpentry. I have looked at B&Q but their wood seems pretty expensive (as I expected) but as I don't know much about timber I don't really know where else to go. I have looked on ebay for...

I'd love to use slate but I think thats a bit too big a job for what I wanted. The bituminous roofing looks really good (and cheap) I will measure it up and see how much I will need.

Hi I can't help you I'm afraid but I recently had problems with my garage door and used this website http://www.garagedoor-spares.com/ I phoned them and ordered parts from them. They were very helpful and talked me through what I needed to do.

Hi I am looking to build an outside storage area. We have a gap about 2ft wide between our fence and the side of our house, I am going to put up a small waterproof shelter/roof over the gap attaching it to the wall and fence. I was looking for some advice on if I should use felt roofing or as...
