Howdy, I am just about to replace my shower mixer in a rental property for the 3rd time. The water is very hard and generally things seem to leak after 18months or so. Do I just accept I buy a new mixer every 18months or is there a 'repairable' mixer I should be looking at. I have...

Just found this: http://dl.owneriq.net/6/6c6accab-f383-44cb-84b8-b820909c79e9.pdf If you look at page 29 - I don't really understand it all but it looks like there is a lot of earths on the RH oven and the LH oven is separate. Could it be that the 'spark generator' is knackered on the...

I have a 110 Gas rangemaster. All bar one (RHS oven) of the spark lighters have suddenly stopped working. Anything obvious I should be looking at? Anyone got a 'take it apart' manual?? They are making the noise but not sparking at all. I am struggling for access as I cannot pull...

Flea-bay - cheap and decent ones

eh???? AAV????

That looks spot on..... ....might have to cancel the 2m of pipe I have just ordered!!

Can I bump for some help for this - spent an hour in B&Q looking for a solution! 15mm copper pipe is too big to wedge in to the existing pipe. 10mm I reckon will be too small and not hard enough to use jubilee clips with (10mm usually seems to be flexible/soft) My only thought so far is...

By hose clamp I assume that means jubilee clip? I was wondering if some brass pipe forced in to the heated cable and jubilee clipped would do it! This aqua stop has meant that the rat chewing the cable has just caused my machine to stop working as opposed to it leaking/flooding for the...

Think its called an aquastop http://www.buyspares.co.uk/spare-parts/washer-dryer/neff/w5420x0gb14/catalogue.pl?path=496306%2C495970%3A496363%2C127864%3A496054&model_ref=891196&illustration_ref=1824238 Part number 0501 £108.95.....ouch.......

Reason why I'm worried about tube replacement.... With outer cover removed.... Make of my machine....NEFF W5420X0GB INT WM Where tube goes in to machine....

Photos..... Break in pipe Pipe gets too wide when 15mm insert is put in. Overall aim - but without getting drenched when I turn on the machine... The tube has some type of auto cut off attached to the end - looks sealed so not sure I can just replace the entire pipe...

Howdy all. An unwelcome visit from a 'furry friend' (aka rat) has mean I have to repair a break in my washing machine tube. I attempted to use some speed fit connectors and a 15mm plastic insert. http://www.screwfix.com/p/jg-speedfit-pem0415w-straight-coupling-15mm-pack-of-10/89893...

Howdy, I need some of this.... http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/Products/Seals_for_Doors_and_Windows/Glazing_and_Joinery_Seals/4304/Compex_Joinery_Seal/210821 To replace the damaged stuff I removed prior to repainting. But only need one doors worth and a bit loathed to spend £40...

I'm about to put up a series of mirror units in my bathroom. I currently have a standalone mirror light with shaver socket with an additional thing that heats the mirror when I put this light on. I would like ditch the light but retain the mirror heater - not sure how I would turn it on...

Anyone help me on this?
