    Can I preserve this window frame?

    TI just started to explore what you said and on further inspection the wood at the bottom of the window from the outside is completely rotten so I don't think it can be repaired. Thanks for the reply though.

    Can I preserve this window frame?

    I have this window to a downstairs toilet. The frame at the bottom has started to crumble and the glass at the bottom doesn't feel secure (it moves when pressure is applied). If I sand it all back and try to repair it would I be wasting my time? If it can be salvaged what would be the best...

    Can't increase boiler pressure

    Thanks Rob, I'll leave it for now and perhaps mention the slow filling at the next service then.

    Can't increase boiler pressure

    I have an Ideal Vogue Max Combi 40 boiler. I have taken an upstairs radiator off for decorating and have refitted. Turned the water back on to the radiator and opened the bleed valve. After few minutes I had to repressurise the boiler so I opened to 2 taps and could hear the water filling albeit...

    Indesit tumble dryer intermittently spinning

    Annoyingly since you posted I have managed to do two loads of drying with no further instances of it not starting. My fault was strikingly similar to yours though so I took off the side panel and located the capacitor which is exactly where you said. It's an 8.5uF capacitor +/- 5% but when I...

    Indesit tumble dryer intermittently spinning

    That’s interesting, when mine stopped after the 10 minute period I gave the drum a little push and it started up for a while like it was really trying to start up again but couldn’t quite make it. I’ve just tested it and of course it’s started up again no problem for the last 20 minutes. I’ll...

    Actually when I changed the socket thats when it started spinning for 10 minutes or so then stopped. Fuse is fine.

    Indesit tumble dryer intermittently spinning

    Hi, I have an indesit condenser dryer. I noticed last night that when I press the button to switch on the machine makes the usual noise like there's power but the drum doesn't spin, or spins for a while then stops. I tried again this morning and there was a little smoke and burning smell that...

    Can I plaster over electrical cables?

    Hi, since I moved into my house I have had a blackbox in the centre of a wall with a cover plate on which looks awful. I have removed the cover and tested the cable and it seems to be dead. I can't find a switch anywhere that might supply it so I'm assuming that it's been disconnected at the...
