I'd get a good diagnostic scan done, if light is coming on there should be a fault code. A light supposed to be for one thing can be used for other less obvious faults too. Yes I'd have said temp sensor but if that's been done I'd say wiring / electrical fault next. There's only one temp sensor...

My advice battery sounds and looks knackered so don't leave it even if it now seems ok. The colder the weather the worse they perform too which is why people find battery problems this time of year Go in to where you got the battery from. Our local unipart supplier has a proper load tester and...

magic, cheers John. Yes I was planning using a boss with 45 degree elbow on the 40mm pipe so it's as high on the 110mm pipe as it can be. I get the pressure wave yes and that the AAV will be slower to relieve that than an open vent. I'll test that but yes reckon it'll be fine. The upstairs wc...

Hi folks I'm redoing the downstairs bathroom. The bath and basin currently drain in to an old cast iron branch going in to a cast iron rainwater pipe (from the gutters). 32mm is connected in by badly done wrapping. I reckon the rainwater cast iron joins the main drain underground but seeing as...

likely yes for an ecu they can be different even for the same engine as manufacturers keep changing even things like that sometimes year on year. i don't know for your car but ring dealer and ask for parts they will have the part number listings from your reg number and tell you for sure...

i'd go with handyandy for sure- hold big screwdriver on pipe and listen get someone to tap both incoming mains water pipe and gas pipe at stopcock/meter see if u can hear either?

Yes I fitted one to our alhambra (also vw electrics) diesel engine. (01 plate so older) Anyone with latest diagnostics can turn yours on for you, it might be all you need it the switch, the ecu etc will have the capability so use the cars existing (not turned on yet) capability not a...

brilliant thanks!! now understand will check what the pump needs in terms of head , put tank on timber frame if needed.. Also if I wanted to run en suite combi mixer shower plus electric shower at same time what min pressure pump would you recommend? (fanily of 6 good option..!) (Yes I...

great thanks folks :) Dan- would a 2 bar be enough for say shower to run and someone else to run a tap at same time, or washing machine to be on or something? when you say pump below tank why can't pump be located at bottom of tank on outlet pipe? How far below are you talking? (I'm...

hi folks, info 1st: old house, mains fed everything, combi (bungalow , upstairs converted, no room for tanks up there even if u wanted them) and known low water pressure in the area (also made worse by a mains lead pipe from pavement to house, yes I'll replace when I get round to digging a...

ok cheers folks! yea wasn't sure that the plane would really clean it up properly anyway. went & bought a 2100W 1/2 erbauer router from screwfix so will do it properly. saves hassle (& worktop!!) Got the directioin of cut sorted: always left to right cutting into bullnose edge first, then...

ok cheers, 1/2 inch rpouter ideal but can't justofy cost at mo. Considering a decent blade for my saw, local supplier has a 48 tooth blade, would prefer more but if anyone can confirm 48tooth blade is ok will give it a go... btw- what am i doing that's dangerous? (other than using a...

sorted, many thanks. yes it ground off no problem and they turned with grips easily new bolts in, drain unblocked, happy wife :) thanks

hi folks, cutting some 38mm laminate worktop. I've read through previous posts, I'm not doing corner joins for my kitchen only cutting to length so likely to use my decent circular saw, although i want to buy a new blade that's finer than my usual one obviously (and recommendations?)... EDIT-...

ok great cheers will grind them once the head is ground off and the cover removed, is it worth trying heat and mole grips to turn what's left of the screws? how does cast iron react to a blowlamp?! (used to do this on car parts not sure about drain pipes!!??)

hi folks, i have a 1930s houe with cast iron drains :( main drain seems to be ok, it's the smaller rainwater drain to the rear of the house that is blocked. The kitchen sink drains into it (I know you don't mix rain & foul nowadays but that the way it was done then..) problem is the...

thanks, yea. I wondered if stop cock might not be fully on. The street stop cock, does it not just turn 90 degrees for on and off, or does it turn like a normal stop cock? (I turned it 90 degrees and it stopped for doing some work on pipes in house the other day and just turned 90 degrees...

ahh, never thought of that.. if on street will affect neighbours too wouldn't it? neighbour on one side reckons ok, other side are on holiday till tomorrow, will ask, might just ring water board anyway tho.. thanks

hi folks, just moved into a house here's the issue: If I turn the kitchen taps and the bath taps on at the same time, the water stops (completely!!!!) in the kitchen. Not a drip..! Pressure seems low generally. One neighbour says hers is ok but I do need to check with more neighbours she...
