I have a 2019 VW Sharan and discovered a few scratches on the windscreen this week. I have no idea how they got there (neighbourhood kids or cats are my main suspects). I have quite a few on the bonnet too. They're not really bad but I know they're there. Can anything be done for fine scratches...

My shower won't turn off. There's a red reset button glowing on it. I've tried isolating it with the pull chord and that shuts the water off, but as soon as I turn it back on and try using it again the same problem occurs. Any ideas what's wrong with it and how to reset it? It's a very old...

We have a rather old Mira Advance Thermostatic ATL shower. For some reason it loses pressure just after you turn it on, but if you turn it off and on again the pressure is normal. Has anyone else had this happen and is there a way to fix it?

I've bought a new blade for my flymo but can't get the bolt off to replace it. I've tried wd40 but it seems to be stuck tight

I guess this fits under plumbing. the toilet in our wetroom gets really grubby around the base. Should it have sealant around it?

My family think I'm mad because I can hear the water rushing through the radiators when the heating is on. They all say it's normal but I'm sure it didn't always sound like this. I searched through some old posts but the answers didn't make much sense to me. We have a combi boiler (not sure of...

the handle has fallen off the basket in our deep fat fryer. Can I solder it back on or will the solder melt in the hot oil?

Further to me trying to fix the glug in our kitchen sink, the pipe under the sink that leads outside is now leaking on a join. It's one of those glued together pipes. Is there any way of mending this (silicone/whatever?) or will I have to get someone to fix it?

Our sink has started making a glugging noise when you put water down it. I've checked all pipes including the overflow and they're clear. I've used Mr Muscle drain unblocker and a foamer down there and still it bloody glugs! The only place I haven't checked is the pipes outside the house but I...

Who has fitted lap vents to their felt? I'm still battling condensation in the loft and these vents keep popping up on different threads. Do they work? How many do you need? I read the link below which has real scare stories attached to these vents - are they a risk or is the site...

If roof vent tiles are fitted do they have to have a hole cut in the felt underneath for the air to pull through the attic? The reason I ask is we have two on each side of our roof and on one side there are holes cut in the felt for the vents, but not on the other.

I have an outdoor extension lead which I use for power tools in the shed. I've just got it out to use something and noticed it's got a split in the cable. It looks like it's got trapped in the shed door at some time. One bit is badly dented, and one bit has a hairline crack right through the...

We've just taken the decorations out of the loft and noticed condensation on the felt and the rafters are wet. I'm mortified as we've never seen this problem before and we've lived here for a few years. We seem to have less frost on our roof than the neighbours so I wonder if our insulation...

I have a Beko dishwasher which is about 3 years old, not sure of the model. I've tried to capture a photo of the bit that's going wrong inside it but I may have to get one of my kids to take a better picture! It has a small metal bracket on the roof of the washer and a plastic bar with a round...

Our shower pull cord won't pull this morning. It was stuck in the off position but it has a tiny green button on it and if I press that the power switches on. If I pull the chord to turn it back off it doesn't go back on again. Why does the green button turn it back on? Why does it keep...

I've noticed a tile on our roof that isn't laying flat like the others. It's lifted slightly at the bottom and side leaving a small gap. There seems to be a slight bow in the roof and this tile is at the edge of it. Questions are : is this tile a problem? There's no leak in the loft. I'm scared...
