I had a blockage in my system recently and a local company drained the tank in the loft and put in two diffent chemicals. One from a tube and one liquid. They found the blockage and removed ti and all is now well. I have a bill for about £250 which is ok. Now, 6 weeks later, they want to come...

My 15 year old boiler makes all the right noises, lights up on cue and produces luke warm water. All thermostats (boiler, water tank and room) are up to maximum but the hot water and the radiators don't get hot. Literally, just luke warm. I had a new pump fitted a few weeks ago, also a new...

I have a rudimentary knowledge of electricity but that is all. I want to fit a second light in my kitchen, on the ceiling and only a few inches away from the existing light.. Which wires do i run from the existing ceiling rose? Both lights will operate from the one light switch. Thanks

In Septembr 2004 I had double glazing fited to a two storey flat on the first and second floors. At first all was well but recently it has become very noisy, howling in the wind like a manic set of bagpipes. Very loud. Any ideas?

I have a 15 year old system, quite conventional (?) in a three bed house. A Potterton boiler, tank in the loft, a pump, three way valve and hot water tank in the airing cupboard etc. Last year I had a motorised three way valve replaced. More recently I changed the pump and, last week, the...

Hi. I had double glazing fitted to both floors of a semi, early last year. have a FENSA certificate and a 10 year "guarantee", but needless to say the company has now ceased trading. Most of my windows are unbelievably noisy when the wind blows, sounding like an off tune bagpipe player. They...

No response last time, but surely worth another try. I have bought aN "M" reg Mk11 Golf automatic. Ir runs beautifully and starts on the button, as it were, running on all cylinders. But it cuts out after literally one or two seconds. It then restarts immediately and does the same again. This...

I have an old Hoover Spacemaster de lux frig/freezer. The top half is frig and the bottom half frezzer. The frig has packed up whilst the freezer still functions perfectly. If the frig thermostat is turned up to max it freezes. If it is turned down, it doesn't work at all. Neither of these...

I recently bought a Mk3 Golf Auto. It starts and runs beautifully - most of the time. Periodically (once a week/month) it will start instantly, run for a second or two and die. It then restarts immediately and does the same again, maybe for 3 or 4 times before it again starts and runs perfectly...

I have just bought a "M" reg golf which has a scorpion alarm fited. It locks the doors, sets the alarm and closes sun roof and windows. The fob has a small 3 pin socket set in side, but I have no idea what this is for. I only have one key fob, scorpion are in liquidation and I dare not set...

My toilet has a horizontal pipe, straight out of the back of the pan and through the wall. There is a joint in this pipe where the outlet of the pan meets the straight pipe and it is leaking quite badly. What should I use to seal this and how do I apply it?

I live in a two storey flat with a 16 year old central heating system. which is incredibly noisy when turned on. There is the noise of air bubbling up the pipes, prticularly loud upstirs. I have a potterton ideal neterheat, 8 radiators (four up and four down), a hot water tank in the airing...

I have a potterton boiler and a small tank in the loft, in addition to the hot water tank which is upstairs. When the boiler lights up (set on a timer) there is almost continous noise of air bubbling through the pies, for the first 30 minutes. I have bled all radiators but air is in the water...
