Hi folks. Haven't posted in here for some time but good to be back! Went through a separation a few years ago (and most of my posts pre that time were about the family home which I eventually left....but I digress!) My daughter lives in the conserfatouyr converted into a bedroom. All good...

So my question is (given I can't find the exaxt match) would something like this work? It's 1700w like the old one but has a slightly different look to it (with those prongs at the front). I've used compatiable elements in the past and they've been absolutely fine, more a case of the fit (these...

Ok - managed to get to it. There's a tray which sits under the oven released via screws at the front and back (there's a warmer drawer under the oven). So could release the element and take a look. This is the lower element - I'm struggling to find an exact match - is it necessary to exactly...

Hi all, Had anybody any experience of changing the lower element in these ovens? The oven currently doesn't raise higher than 150 degrees. I've changed the fan element in the past (take off the housing from the front as seen in the ouc belowe then remove the casing from the back of the oven to...

Thanks Big-all. If there are also any videos demonstrating the correct method that would be handy along with your advice (I bet if I saw you do it I'd get it a lot easier). Tough when you've no real experience in the finer points of carpentry (and want to do a good job). As it stands, it's not...

That would have been a great idea too - will do that next time. Cheers.

Hi opps - I probably wasn't clear. The 36cm is the difference between the highest point of the ceiling and the lower bit of ceiling where the it slants/curves down (might be best if I stick a pic up). It drops like this on the front and back of the house. I'm also struggling to visualise your...

... ...Well would be. I've completely lost my knack for scribing (this is a little more difficult due to the position and weight of the MDF board. I drew (and I did this a number of times) what I thought was the perfect scribe line only to find out on the cut that the slanted bit has a huge...

Thought of that foxhole but there's a height difference of 36cm...if I can do an 'approximate scribe' first so the MDF is offered up much more closely then that's the solution right? I've left a little on the length just in case I 'over scribe'. So...If I measure the ceiling width until it...

Thanks folks. Since levelling it up it's been ok. The trouble has also been with the floor behind it. When we moved in a few years ago the kitchen was 'relatively' new but whoever did it made the decision to only tile up to the appliances (instead of all the way behind) in some assumed cost...

Hi all, I've just studded out a frame on the wall (3x2) to hang a piece of MDF onto (with a hole cut out in the middle for a TV bracket). The 12mm MDF will overhang the frame slightly so I can hide LED strip lighting behind. The piece is mainly square (1200mm width x 1650 mm height) but the...

Definitely a possibility. It was also leaning back (levelling legs at the back have broken) which stopped the drum turning. Placing a piece underneath at the back to level it out is helping but it struggles with heavy loads now. Not sure the drum is sitting properly now (the felt band seems a...
