Already done that, what’s left is more of a slight ripple here and there.

I recently had a ceiling skimmed and it’s not really a perfect finish, slight imperfections but nothing too serious, short of getting it done again (which I really don’t want to) I’m wondering which type of roller would work best to hopefully cover up when re painting with Matt emulsion?

Hey I’m not being unreasonable, I’m paying a “technician “ who says he can fix the problem… he can’t ?!!!!!!

I tell you why I got the hump, because on my first visit he gave me written confirmation that it was the rear sensor and a £55 bill, so I replaced the rear sensor and was willing to pay him another £55 and he still can’t turn the light off, what planet are you on!

Update, I’ve edited my previous post as I fitted it myself, here goes, ok I’m gonna swallow the £55 and go back to have another scan to turn the lights off, turn up at ATS have the conversation with the same guy and agree to pay another £55, he says what if he can’t turn the light off? I show...

Bought one of these, about as much use as a concrete parachute, didn’t show any codes at all….

Well here goes, went to one of the well known tire fitting companies, they did a scan for £55 and diagnosed the right side rear sensor, I ordered it and I fitted it myself, drove around for miles and it didn’t go off? Went back to the well known tire fitting company (ATS) to ask them to plug in...

Hi, I have the ABS & Traction control light on, I’ve been told it’s one of the wheel sensors, if I find out which one it is and replace it will the lights go out, or will I need a diagnostic plugin to switch them off? Thanks

Hi, for a diy er what’s your thoughts about this https://ebay.us/m/l980If, probably use it about 2-3 times a year so don’t need it to last forever.

Just come across a product called Rayhong, any thoughts?

Thought I should say that I’m looking at removing lacquer from car wheels, so I think a hot air gun is out of the question, thanks.

Hi guys, it’s been years since I’ve used any paint stripper, I use to use nitromors and it would literally take car paint off in seconds, but I’ve recently heard that it’s not what it used to to be? Is this true, if so is there anything else out there that’s as good as the old stuff use to be?

Hi guys, I have a Bosch 18v drill that’s probably 10+ years old but in perfect working condition, but the battery doesn’t hold charge for very long now, I can buy two new batteries for £30 or I could buy a new Chinese (probably) drill with battery from say bandq for the same price! I’m a diy so...

Hi, I have a Sony Bravia smart tv, and from day one trying to watch catch up on ITVX is near impossible without buffering or not playing at all!? All other channels are fine, does anyone else have issues with this channel, if so how can you fix it? Thanks

I wouldn’t take any paperwork for motor vehicles as genuine, even the Main dealerships are at it!! Look for obvious signs of wear on brake discs etc, especially on first MOT vehicles.
