thanks we might try that too, as we are beginning to think its a combination of problems. We have been doing some renovations, but as careful as you are covering things up, especially with plastering, the dust gets everywhere.

thanks for tips, but we think we have found the problem after looking on a speaker forum. After assuming the cheap amp is to blame, my partner looked online about the speakers, mission 780's. Others have had the same problem with these speakers and think it is the bass drivers failing...

its only a cheap amp (too embarrased to name make) but only 3 years old. I 'd like to try and repair before forking out for another. I checked all wiring to speakers and connections, all seem fine and when it cuts to this low tinny sound, it's both speakers, the same noise. if i turn the...

thanks for replying, I'm pretty sure they are the right connectors, I just couldnt think of a good way to describe the connectors and my problem of tightening them more. They have a bolt which tightens the loop bit that goes round the battery terminal. And it seems to be at the tightest the...

I have an old peugeot 306 diesel 1800 (1999). Over the last 6 months the battery seems to be running down and not re-charging so I go to use it and it doesnt start. The colchester wilko garage tested it for free as i assumed i needed to buy a new battery but they said it was fine and to give it...

We are currently decorating 2 upstairs bedrooms in our 1900's detatched cottage. After taking the wallpaper off, half the plaster fell off (lime plaster) so we are taking it off to re-plaster them completely. As the end bedroom has 3 outside walls and colder than the other bedroom (and obviously...

hi your post question is exactly our situation, new DPC injection downstairs (1900s cottage) upstairs where we are decorating now has mainly failing lime plaster with areas where it has been patched with more modern hard plaster. What did you do in the end upstairs? replace all the plaster...

This may sound daft but worth a try.... We have a normal doorbell (doorbell push button outside with bellwire through wall to battery run door chime unit inside.) We can't really change this without a lot of disruption. Ideally we want to keep the chimes where they are as we can hear...

thanks , that's what we did in the end ....the sink is supported by a heavy duty wooden purpose built cradle, the slabs are as heavy as 2 and a half foot square paving slabs (only maybe a bit heavier as they are granite and 30mm thick.) We put a baton on the back walls and angle iron brackets...

Just getting a quote from a painter to paint the rendered outside faces of the house. He said he could do Dulux trade, or Johnsons trade, which is half the price of Dulux. My question is - With exterior paint, do you get what you pay for ie will the Dulux last longer? The painter said...

we have a butler sink and 2 paving size slabs of granite which we want to install either side of the sink which then in turn will rest on angle iron brackets on the 2 end adjacent walls. Our question is - the end of granite that rests on the sink edge, we were going to just rest on a bead...

Does anyone know where you can get any/or similar plastic edging strip for the bottom of the plinth that ikea supply with their kitchen cupboard plinths. Mine has split and after calling ikea, they said they dont sell it separately I'd have to buy new plinth to get the length of plastic...

we couldnt quite get the area out of our bit in the end, so had to splash out on 2 new bits 30mm thick, approx 700x700mm each. Each one has: a pencil rounded front edge, one rounded corner, and 3 pipe hole cuts. total £530 including (stellar bianco) granite. We didnt fancy trying to cut...

We have salvaged an old butler sink and some second hand granite worktop someone was throwing out of their kitchen refit (!?) to put in our utility room. We just need to put two squares of worksurface either side of our sink, with 3 rounded cuts to fit round pipes where the granite work...

We have just had an old gas fire removed and it has been 'capped off' and about an inch and a half comes out of the concrete floor. We are now re-decorating and getting new carpet and ideally would like it to disappear completely as we definitely do not want a fire in this room again (and...
