I have 2 fluorescant lights in the garage. 1 tube is a marked Ring Energy Saver 36w white the other is GE F36w/35. Both the tubes are "cloudy" in the middle and dimmer compared to the ends. So I thought it was time to replace them. I got today some new tubes. They didnt have white, so I got warm...

I too have a 3 bar pump. The problem is that it drains the cold water tank in the loft completely, (its a standard 50 gallon(?)), and the boiler cant really keep up. So as its given up the ghost now, I'm too looking for a pump. The En-suite I have as a 1.5 bar New Team one and it provides the...

I have one light that is a 12v 50W downlight. Its transformer is in the loft. One night the light output varied from the bulb randomly and after a few hours the bulb stopped working. I have replaced the bulb with a known working bulb and it does not work. A single switch controls this single...

I have some children's s/w from DK. Its works fine on win95. The s/w is old, and states only 95/98 compatible. I have tried to install it on win2000 and its reports that I do not have enough disk space. It requires about a stated "1,300,000Kb" (!) free. Well the disk has 10Gb free. I'm assuming...

I Moved into a house, where the main bathroom has an Aqualisa power shower fitted. The pump is a 654DE 3bar pump. The problem I have is that while pressure is not a problem(its too much really), temperature is a problem. Its not hot enough. If I turn off the power to the pump, so that the...

Should I be concerned, as a kitchen bulb (when it blew) tripped the RCD lighting circult.

I have cold water supply from the cold tank in the house, in the garage already but do not have access to a drain. The only access I have to a "drain" would be run the outlet of the dishwasher into the downpipe of the guttering that comes off the flat roof of the garage. Can I do this or would...

Ok I need to replace some locks on final exit doors. However I know I need sash locks to replace what I have, but looking at www.screwfix.com I'm confused? How do I know if I need 2 1/2 or 3 inch ? What do they mean by S/S or P/B lock ? Or NP and EB type lock ? Anybody- thanks

Which is better? A belt sander or a sheet sander? Apart from the cost, belts are about £45, and sheet about £15, and replacement belts seems to be cheaper, but a they have a greater area, I assume its swings and roundabouts. Also I’ve used a belt sander, and clearly the belt goes round in a...
