Is the picture of something you would find in a male version of Ann Summers? Surely missing some form of lube. :)

Thanks very much for you replies. I did not realise that there are now top fixings, I am bit of an old dynosaur (still have pump action screw drivers and copper pipe handy). FYI - I will spend some time designing the ultimate toilet seat hinge. Look out Branson and Dison, here I come! :-)

Hi, I have been asked to tighten up a loose toilet seat but I do have a clue how to do it on this type of pan. Can somebody give me some instructions please? Picture attached N

Hi, I have just fitted a replacement heater unit to a mira essentials electric shower and a new cover (old one had been ripped off a few times by the looks of it). Everything appears to be sitting back properly etc.. I have a strange issue with the on/off button only when the front cover...

I have just fitted a new fan oven motor to my hotpoint double oven, a BD31. The new one was almost identical to the old except that it had a fan on both sides; on on the motor and the other inside the oven. I purchased the new fan from partmaster where some fans motor descriptions...

Hi all, I have one broken handle and one good one on the window. I have the broken off bits. Pictures attached. Are window handles like these a standard size/fit? Can this type of handle be replaced or repaired? Thanks

Just what I wanted to know. Thank you.

I have issues with the lever version as the half flush sometime is restricted by the overhand of the cistern lid. So I have to fit it in a 45 degree position. Any tips? I prefer the lever flush as it does not put too much pressure on flimsy cisterns. Thanks the for link.

Thanks. The hep20 washer tip is a great one. I will try it. I've always added a flexible tap connector with an isolator to each inlet valve that I change. I have come across so much cross threading and ptfe taps fixes. Thanks again.

Hi, Can I fit a fluidmaster cable flush valve to a low level cistern to replace a normal siphon valve? If so, would any cable flush operated flush valve fit on a low level cistern or does it have to a an adapter with it? Thanks. Nigel T

Hi, I have been asked by a letting agent to tidy up some work that a tenant has performed on a kitchen worktop end. Typically it was done by a man in a rush so the jigsaw cut waving all over the place, face edge looks OK. There is no power in the property so I thought I could tidy it up...

Thanks Meldrew4291, I did not realise that the frame had been fitted inside out. Here is a picture of the bottom shoot bolt. Not as clear as the image of the top one. Can you see any adjustment? Nigel T

I have a customer with a door that does not close properly and the bottom bolt, when unlocked, catches its keep situated on the bottom of the frame. The catch does not enter the keep at all, too far away but it is lined up. The bottom bolt loosely hangs out of the bottom which also catches...

Thanks for you help. As I work alone it is good to know that I have some virtual brains to pick.

Hi, I have been asked to see if I can reduce the gap on only the hinge side of the window shown in the images. I have looked at previous posts which leads me to believe that I need to replace the hinges or the windows. Is this correct, should I replace them? Or should I attempt to free...
