Does anyone know where might be found what I would call a "T-bolt" although that seems to be the name of something different. Namely a (~M5) bolt with the head the same as a T-nut. Thanks.

This was posted on another thread regarding a downlight. What am I missing?

As people seem to be in the mood for long discussions about any little thing, I wondered how and why some things become part of folk lore even though they are completely meaningless and unnecessary. Could it be from such bodies as the recently mentioned safety charity and best practice guides...

To anyone (and Screwfix and other sellers who should know better) who calls this accessory (with switch or not) a "fused spur". Would you please show me a picture of an "unfused spur"? If you manage to invent something which might qualify please explain why you have never before called it...

I have just noticed something I have never seen before. The tyres on my vehicle have "OUTSIDE" embossed on one side but the tread is not symmetrical so this results in it being reversed when on the 'other' side. I can understand a tyre tread being such that the tyre must only rotate in one...

Has anyone any experience of these aftermarket remote locking devices? https://www.ebay.com/itm/204194336195 Mine looks like that but has fourteen wires not thirteen and only two-button fobs. It has worked for the year I have had the vehicle but recently just went dead. No clicking or noises...

No, not the usual dimming queries. My living room has three wall lights. When I moved in there were 60W candle bulbs so I replaced them with 9W LED and this was satisfactory. None has failed in the six years (which is good) but recently I realised that the room was too dim to read or do...

I keep getting this appear when browsing the site. Is it to do with DIYnot?

Am I correct (I think I am) in thinking that, with rack and pinion steering, the track-rod threads should be equal on both sides? If the answer is yes - then when they are equal but the steering wheel is off centre that means that the steering wheel itself should be altered. Put another way...

I have a wi-fi OBD2 diagnostic code reader. Will this work on pre OBD2 systems with a specific adaptor lead? In particular a 1996 Toyota Previa with the 22 pin outlet.

I have Sharper Image 206077 wireless headphones. When used on P.C. with a lead and jack plugs all is well. However, when used with wi-fi and optical cable between base and TV, the stereo is reversed. I.e. left is right and right is left. Does anyone know if this is a problem with the system...

Bath/shower wall mixer taps offset joints. I need to adjust one of the offset joints - old taps 160mm.; new 150mm. - but it is sealed with now hard brown sealant. What is this material? Is this possible to loosen with heat or anything else? Thanks for any help.

...why did Omicron case numbers not double every two days as promised?

I have an 18V cordless Sealey CP2518 car polisher. I have only used it once and then charged the battery. I left it on all night by mistake despite it saying 5 hours to charge. The next morning the battery measured 20V - fair enough. Then I noticed the charger label states - the exact...

If you go to an event where this is required and you catch covid, at least you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you caught it from someone who was vaccinated. At bit like this event...

... wrong place again.

I'll try again. Has everyone realised yet that they are utterly pointless? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59077036 If so, then why are they being introduced in various places?
