Ensure it is enabled via the timer, to run the central heating first. Does it have a 3-port valve, or possible two 2-port valves, to switch the heated water flow, between HW and CH? This would likely be in the airing cupboard, if you have one, where the hot water cylinder is located. These...

Only once it is fully dry!

The adjustment, two nuts either side of the bracket, locking one against the other - only moving the deck forward or backward, an inch or two, rather than much up or down. An earlier tractor mower I had, raised and lowered the entire deck fully, but it lacked the anti-scalp wheels this one...

I only usually put mine on charge, after use. Basically I park it, straight in my workshop, which has the charger mounted on the wall, ready to plug straight in, before I even get off it. It then stays on charge, until the charger shows a green LED, then it is unplugged, after until next time it...

No, that is the 'rule' for lithium cells, as used in your laptop, and phone - some devices include that 80% limiter. For SLA they suggest try to limit discharge, to 50%.

Mobility scooter batteries in particular, plus leisure batteries... What is the best way to get the longest working life out of them? I have always been of the opinion, to use them, use as little of the capacity as possible then fully recharge them, and keep them fully charged. Every few...

Well, at least I would not be stuck at the roadside, with a flat traction battery.

Oh, I have just bought one! For years, I have repaired such hard plastic items, by the use of a hot soldering iron, and office staples. Struggling to get the hot iron, to heat the staples up enough to sink into the plastic - The gun, makes it so much easier, by passing a high current/low voltage...

I think a great subject for a thread, would one where we have a vote on the years most banal question posted for the year. There are several regular posters, who post such threads.

A trip up the street, to look in some of the charity shops, to see if they had anything useful, then on to Lidl to do a bit of restocking. I spotted a Halfords rechargeable tyre/inflatable, light, come USB unit, with programmable tyre pressures for £5, so I grabbed it. It was totally flat, so on...

There you go, sorted! Looking, is always the first stage of fixing.

Roundup, is glyphosate., the very same, just a manufacturers name, to enable it to be sold at higher markup don't ya know?

Lawnflite (701 rings a bell) - maybe double check later on actual model number... It's old, it's rusty, deck rusted, but it generally does the job eventually. B&S engine is completely reliable. I bought it very second-hand, many years ago. A couple of weeks ago, I got it out for the first cut...

No thanks, I'll stick to my refuel almost anywhere, in an instant, with decent range between - diesel.

You are looking at possibly an amp. Has this ever worked?
