Thanks Ronny. I'll speak to them.

Hi, I'm looking for some help sourcing a spare (or similar) one of the things in the pic. I'd just google it, but all the terms I've tried don't quite seem to get the right thing. Can anyone help with what this might be called and where might be the bast place to find one in the...

I've no good answer to that. Is copper a better bet? I've no experience in any of this at all and i just thought that plastic would be easier for corners and whatnot.

Magic! I'm such a dozy git. Will i have to smooth off the cut to use in speedfit gear?

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice with regard to fitting a new radiator. There used to be a radiator in place fed by 10mm (microbore?) pipe - forgive my terminology. I want to fit a new rad a run 15mm plastic from the send and return pipes of the main heating loop. I'm going to drain the...

I've posted as much info on this forum as i told the guy over the phone and he was able to pluck the quote out of the air (or perhaps his crystal ball), so I just idly hoped that someone might have an idea what kind of work it might be for the money.

just thought I'd ask a little bit more about the process from a group of impartial people rather than asking the man himself. thanks for your advice, it was very helpful

Hi, I live in a late victorian mid-terrace which has damp areas just next to the front bay window and in a similar spot near the back room window. The total area of damp on each is probably 1m sq. I called a guy out of yell and without coming to the house or anything said it would cost...

on a laptop you generally don't want numlock on startup. get your friend to go into the bios (f2 or del on startup on c800s) and set so that numlock is not on by default.

another option that might be worth having a go with is just to change the aerial position from a vertical one to an horizontal one. The signal from a stick aerial can resemble a large donut (but with not much hole in the middle) so you cover left-right better than up-down. Doing this will mean...

I was about to remove the rad again today and lo and behold - it was working. Thanks for the help guys.

This seems like a more simple setup. I'll go and get the gear from wickes tomorrow. I'll need to chop down the main waste pipe then so that it's a bit lower? I've had everything off and cleaned it out. The last post makes sense as I rigged up the system to an outside tap feeding the...

I'll have a bash at it again tomorrow. I think that since i took it off this morning, it's actually working very, very slightly. It seems a couple of degrees off absolute zero (where it is normally at). Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the quick reply. Before you edit/changed your mind you mentioned fastening the drain hose in a loop higher than the sink water level. I'm pretty sure this is already the case as the drain hose needs to go right up to the level of the draining board to go back down the next unit...

Hi, My washing machine periodically fills up with water. If we go a couple of days without doing a wash we can find that there is an inch or more of dodgy looking water sat at the bottom of the drum. The waste system beneath the 1.5 sink (which the washer is connected to) is always quite...
