Actually feeling quite dumb now - just played around with it and pushing the connectors down releases the wire and it just pulls out - very easy!!!

Hi Looking for some guidance please. I have a brite source led downlight driver connector box for the brite source 833839 led downlight that I am trying to disconnect the cables from. They go into a push fit connector - so look like they get pushed in and then you push a connector down to...

Hi, I have a casement window which opens outwards and is currently then locked into position with an old style casement stay. Unfortunately when opening the window it can sometimes get caught by the wind and fling open. I'm trying to find a solution to effectively provide some resistance...

Doh - just reread your first post where you mentioned grease. Just put a bit on it and hey presto job done. thanks for all the advice.

Well I have the part, isolated and drained the boiler and taken the old one out. But cannot get the new one in. It is a push in and twist one but the hand space around it is very limited and I am bu**ered if I can push it and twist so that the side lugs on the aav can locate properly so it...

Hi I have discovered a slow leak on my boiler. Having taken off the front cover and had a good look I have identified the part which is leaking as the automatic air vent. Having googled the part looks like a replacement is about £10. Have found from this forum that it is a common problem...

The sides don't look detachable - the 2 sides and back piece look like one piece with no screws etc on them - so assuming I have to go in through the front now.

Hi, I have got a new heating element which I want to put into my HNC170. I have taken the back off and gained access to the heating element, however I now can't see how to actually take the heating element off to replace it. The new heating element has four cables with push fit connectors...

So I wouldn't be creating problems for the post if I drilled into it to attach a small metal angle plate then?

Thanks for the input guys on this - been out studying the fence to see what removal of the posts will mean - apart from a lot of hard work. Anyway one of the things I am thinking about is that if I take the old concrete posts out and replace with some nice shiny new concrete posts I am...

I had hoped to avoid digging - but probably worth a look I guess. The only thing I would say though is that the posts are leaning in the line of the fence rather than into the garden which is what I would have expected with wind hitting the fence over a period of time. I had just assumed that...

Hi, Hopefully you guys here can tell me if my plan is feasible. Currently I have a well battered fence which I believe is shared with my neighbour and he thinks it is mine. Anyway it is made with 3ft high concrete posts with 3ft boards slotted into them - the posts are leaning where...

Oh no - not the glass. Carefully avoided that - did something much harder to do - managed to drill through the rolling mechanism. :shock:
