Conservatory about 15 years old. Few of the panels have started to slip and allow water in. I have managed to push most back but the seal is coming out of a few. Also, it is freezing cold in the winter and boiling hot in the summer as there is no protection from sunlight / heat etc. I am...

Got a new battery but now have a silly question. The negative terminal won't easily come off the old battery. Positive one was fine. Can I safely WD40 it ?

Thanks very much - where's a good place to get a battery from ? It's a Yucel Y7-12.

Managed to work it out - the only message now when I try to reset is "checking for tampers" then 01 Fault <> SMS Comms Fail and I am not able to return to normal user mode until I've sorted this out.

We have a Galaxy S2 alarm and until recently had a phone line connected to it. We have now had the phone disconnected but forgot about the alarm connection. We can't set the alarm now as we can't override the alert "tel line fail" and "user reset required". I have the master code and...
