Hi Have an 04 tdci 115 mondeo with 88k on the clock. Now i have code P132A as a fault. Not great as i have an electronic actuator so the whole damn turbo has to be replaced. Can't get it done straight away as i need a car and earliest i can get a courtesy car is 17th :shock: So as i...

Cheers for getting back to me so quickly Nige So looks like i'm going to have new gutter to match the facia. Thanks again Nige Martin

Hiya I have done a very stupid thing :oops: While replacing the facia i have taken my old guttering down along with all the old brackets corners etc. Well now i can't find any of the brackets and corners anywhere, have spent ages looking for them but without any luck. I have also been...

Hi Having problems with my chimney :( Its not used any more but either the pot or attached TV ariel is now loose. I want to pull it down and rebuild it like the other two have been, not bothered about the height as i said its not in use both connecting fire places have been bricked up...

Cheers gcol for your quick reply :D I can't see it noticing that much really as its only just over 3 tiles wide, but as the porch has the same tiles was trying to run them straight in line ok with a door in between but thought it would look better, then tomorrow cut round the door frames so...

Hiya Just started trying to tile a small space at the bottom of the stairs about 1M X 1M Its an old house and the floor is out badly, from one side to the other i loose the bubble in the spirit level ...............ok only a small spirit level 30cm say. Now i know i have to start at the...

Hiya awbcm Yes its a secondary door as such the porch is like a little room with a nice new hardwood door. Didn't even think about this being a problem as it would for all intense reason now be an internal door. This was done along with a lot of other building work which was passed by the...

Hiya Sorry have not gotten back to you for a while. Been away working :( My other half tells me she has had a few problems but when a bulb in our bedroom blew, one of three and before it blew it flickered and took out the trip with it. The RCD has not played up since. Ok only been...

Hiya Have been trying to fit a new front door only making it an interior as we now have a new porch. As with many things in the house it seems the Original front door frame was not put in properly :evil: What i assume is a weather strip .........a strip of metal running along the bottom...

Thanks JohnD and sparky Thats a good idea John never thought about a lawnmower RCD at least then i can still use everything and wait for a week. After looking at the other posts seems water based things are more likely to cause it so can try these first. Only things i can't change are the...

Hiya JohnD I live in the county with overhead cables the main cable in was replaced a couple of years ago as it was very old. Mice might be a problem as i have heard them in the loft please don't tell me i have got to check the whole loft as i put extra rolls of insulation up there a year...

Hiya oharaf Yeh i can take some pics but will have to be tomorrow The RCD or what i assume to be the RCD is a separate box Its what i would have called a trip switch until i learned what it was called, it has been changed for a newer one but thats all always had one for years. Everyone...

Hiya JohnD Yeh i have looked through them but being honest i hate playing with electric far as i will go is replacing a light rose and thats if i'm feeling adventurous. It seems from reading the posts i have a earth fault of some kind or at least i think is do as i said not to clever with...

Hiya Ok i am getting stressed :evil: I have an intermittent fault that is not blowing any fuses just tripping the RCD. The problem is it can go nearly a week without tripping, i know i can test this by unplugging things but its not exactly realistic for a week to unplug the fridge...

Cheers Yeh was looking for a easy way lol Just finished it was not as bad as i thought two coats and finished buy 2ish Martin
