Hi, One of my arris rails has broken right in the middle of the length. I guess I need to replace it, but for a quick fix is there a bracket I can use? I've searched Google, but the only ones that come up are brackets to fix the end of the rail to the fence post. Can anyone point me in the...

Long shot this, I suspect it's a "put up with it" answer, but if anyone has any ideas... The two clips on the plastic (turquoise) cyclone motor unit that hold the clear bin in place have both broken off my DC07. One clip is a spring-release mechanism, the other is more of a "sticky-out lip"...

Hi, Quick question; Do you need to disconnect the power to the unit before adjusting the timer jumpers in a TREX Exit Detector? Thanks!

I have an old mechanical programmer, British Gas branded but I can't see a model number or find similar pics on Google images. The timing controls work fine and CH & HW come on at the right times, etc. However, quite often (but not always) when both CH and HW are on, the unit will click on...

Hi, I've been looking at FM transmitters but have had problems with them in the past and have stumbled across a couple of hints online as to being able to fit an aux-in 3.5mm stereo cable to the back of the head unit, eg; - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yssNqLyA3xo Has anyone tried this...

Hi, I've just replaced the switch that supplies to our electric shower, but the neon light on the switch is always on, even when the switch is in the off position. This is a double pole wall switch external to our bathroom and mounted into the wall. Have I just put the supply and load...

Hi, Bosch fridge freezer KGH33V63 was making an unusual whirring noise this morning. Decided to leave it to see if it stopped itself. Later in the day found that the food in the freezer was thawing out. It's been making the same noise all day and food has had to be thrown. Pulled the unit...

We've had a problem for a while now where the bath will only fill a few inches before the hot water turns to a trickle. I usually leave it a while and try again. Anyway, tonight I decided to take a closer look. We have an indirect system. I'm not sure if it's vented or unvented. We're in a...

Hi All, I've got a B&Q Lisbon monobloc tap that's dripping from the hot pipe (ie if I isolate the hot water feed the tap stops dripping). I've isolated the water supply, taken the cap off the handle, unscrewed the small screw inside the handle and unscrewed the tap body cover, but I...

Hi, My toilet flush recently started filling reaaaally slowly. I took the valve mechanism apart and identified a small tear in the diaphragm. From further investigations it seems I have a siamp bottom entry float valve and simply replacing the diaphragm should fix the problem, but I...

Hi, My Escort has developed a problem where in neutral the revs jump up to about 2500 rpm. When you come to a standstill (at lights for example) it drops off after about 5 seconds. It's been going on for a while, and I think it might be burning the clutch out. I thought it might be the...

I heard a rhythmic constant tapping a few days ago and thought it was probably our upstairs neighbour doing a bit of DIY. During the course of the day it continued and struck me that it might not be him. I started exploring round our flat and found that it was loudest in our hallway cupboard...

This morning my Gainsborough 9.5e Electric shower stopped providing hot water. The electric (h/w) switch (outside the bathroom) lights up, but goes out when the shower is turned on. When the light is on, it's not as bright as usual. Is there a leak/short in my shower unit causing a safety...

Hi, I turned off the timers for a weekend whilst away, now the hot water is warm but wont get hot, and I think it's only warm because of the CH. I have a Potterton Netaheat 10-16, and the pilot light doesn't come on when only HW is turned on. The thermostat on the boiler is set to max. The...
