No I was joking that I was organised, it was only by chance I had a spare element but the annoying thing is I can't find the gasket for it (n)(n)(n), so element gone and tripping RCD, spare element in my hand but can't fit it - disconnected heater circuit so everything else working and will have...

Hi All Thinking I'm really organised I kept a spare immersion heater element just in case it went on Easter Sunday and everywhere was shut . Trouble is the heater is fine but I've lost the gasket ☹️. Do I put up with no hot water till tomorrow, or are there any bodges to "make" a gasket that...

Agreed. I don't want an accident or get nicked, but for the odd occasion I need to take or make a call I think this is the way to go. Having said that I do also believe people can really abuse the hands free and get into a long and indepth conversation which will cause a lack of...

With the tightening of the laws on using mobile phones, I think it it time I invested in a hands free kit. Has anyone any experience of this one? http://www.parrotshopping.com/uk/p_parrot_item.aspx?i=146711 It's attraction is that I can move it from vehicle to vehicle rather than an all...
