Thanks:D Yes - you are right. The consensus is that 15 years is good service so time to buy a new one ! Reckon the problem may have been faulty door seal and compressor running all the time. Thanks agaIN

So saga continues. Thermostat checked ok and compressor runs. Removed to my garage and cut one of the lines (l h side of compressor ) and virtually no gas came out. Is this the supply side and not under pressure? Think it could therefore be low on gas. Anyone in Northants I can bring it to for...

Faultless service for 14 year of a built in FF but just lately it seems even on No 1 to be icing up the back and running a bit more than usual. No unusual noises. I was proposing to remove (a right ball ache) and ensure dust build up at back and around fan is removed. It defrosts but then the...

Thanks Guys-good advice

Thanks guys Returned from a weekend away to find absolutely zilch on any channel so checked and the input into the masthead splitter had come out in the wind- Sorted and now seems all ok. Thanks for all the tips. However, I am only getting about 35-38% on 2 of the TV's on most channels - so I...

Brilliant idea- one of the TV's is a small flat one so easy to put in the loft and connect - Thanks Lucid

Thanks Lucid No strangely the newest TV (HDTV) which is on one of the cables from the aerial has all the channels and HDTV. On the other cable which distributes via the 4 way Slx ? amp the only two TV's are not HDTV (about 6 yrs old ) and it is on these that there is no signal on BBC channels...

Thanks Guys Tried the Manual Retune without success. Aerial points to Sandy Heath yet we get Meridian info (SOUTH) on Itv. Towcester is renowned for poor signal though we are at a fairly high point. Am I over amplifying ? splitter/masthead amp to newish DTV and on the other cable a 4 way amp...

Hi All Current setup is a roof aerial about 17 yrs old fitted at time of first DTV. Splitter at aerial - one side goes to Optima box indoors and in to newish TV. Other cable goes to a 4 way powered amp which supplies the bedrooms and kitchen. Suddenly we have lost BBC1 and 2 and a handful of...

Thanks......it was a cement based adhesive ....you confirmed my fears .... Good old chisel is needed! Best regards

Our hall has ceramic tiles layer 20 yrs ago and now err indoors wants karndean or similar. The tiles will come up easily but I used loads of adhesive..... What's the best way to get rid of tile adhesive to get back to the screed? Is there something like a Kango hammer I can hire or is it best...

Thanks Guys You confirmed my fears about the flexible ones...... Good tip on re-using (I probably would have tried to.......) I wont now.

hi Guys Plumbing in new wall hung toilet between Xmas and New Year in order to avoid visiting the MIL. Bought a frame and toilet combined from Victoria plumb. Cant find the height of the waste i.e. not sure if my existing waste elbow can be re-used. Can anyone tell me what I should buy by way...

Thanks Yardie Yes there is sufficient water but on the occasions it doesn't heat there is a bit left in the bottom.. I presumably can by a new pub from Neff?

Hi I have a 12 year old Neff Dishwasher which stays on with only cold water and the programme running for ages. We have cleared the fat trap. If you turn off the mains and then press reset the next wash is fine ,with heat ! Any ideas ? Del Boy
