Just had our en suite and main bathroom refurbished having had electric showers for 10 years - acceptable flow in summer months, but next to useless in winter. I have the same loft tank, downstairs boiler and tank in the airing cupboard layout. Went for a Stuart Turner twin pump and cheap...

We used these IKEA boxes to fill the gap between our sliding wardrobes and the gap up to the ceiling - much 'nicer' to look at I was told!! http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/small-storage-organisers/clothes-organisers/svira-box-with-lid-grey-white-flowers-art-00290293/

We have two identical shower cubicles that are original to the house we bought - they are about 16 years old. Both have had most of the wheels 'repaired' by me over the past 2 years - the plastic wheels split with age and lose their ball bearings accordingly. I've managed to repair all of...

The heating has been on 24 hrs since November. Setting the thermostat to about 11 overnight/during the day and the rads stay lukewarm and keep the house mild. Set to about 14 when we're around and she is comfortable and I'm in a t-shirt. At 15 the house should be unbearable and even she...

Had the annual service carried out by British Gas today - conventional boiler system. We use the thermostat in the hall to raise the heat in the rads when the missus needs more heat. In this weather if I turn it to 11oC it kicks the rads in throughout the day 'to take the nip out of the...

S-I-L noticed her Beko Fridge Freezer [the top fridge part] was struggling to keep cold even at max setting. Had a quick look and noticed the bottom of the fridge door seal had a 3 inch split in it. Seems easy enough to change. Went to buy a new door seal and several sites are offering a...

Your image hasn't appeared!! Inverter is more than likely to go before the screen. £2-£5 on fleabay. Dismantle yours 1st and try to replace with the same serial number - I bought one for my laptop which was for my model, but it had a different serial - and had similar problems as the...

Fitted the new switch and flow assembly to one of the showers - restored the water and turned it back on with cold only to start with. However. it stays cold when increasing the settings through low/medium/high and increasing the temperature dial :( What have I likely to have got wrong...

Thanks for the replies. Got the parts from onlineplumbingspares - 3 piece kit for £95.02 [2 x £47.51] arrived an hour ago. Reasonably good instructions - will also take photos with my phone to 'remember' where all the terminals go!! Flow assembly each had 3 O rings in box - yet I can...

Not so lucky white heather!! Looks like both my showers are pre-2006 which means I have to buy 3 components - neon assembly-switching assembly-and the flow assembly ...... £59 2006 onwards only needs the flow assembly ....... grrrrrr ........ £36 Homer

I have 2 Mira Sport electric showers and fitted Ecocamel Jetstorm showerheads to both on Christmas Eve. Noticed water dripping from water outlet on Thursday so fitted new washers and ptfe tape for good measure - however, water still dripped from the base of the unit. Opened it up to see...

1st thing - uninstall the cack that is Kies :wink: you will not regret it. Connect to your pc via usb and browse your files via explorer - so much easier. However, if you really want to use it try this link and see how you get on. How to use Kies 2.0 Homer

I don't have a Samsung - just a plain old htc ........ but with Gmail. Open Gmail - Menu - More - Settings - Account Settings - ***@gmail.com Scroll down through the options until you see 'synch inboxes and labels' Once in there you should have the option to synch [or not to synch]...

That is the way I'm going to do it - thanks. I will take the bottom decor covers off each appliance once I have them on plywood and run the laminate a couple of inches under each. [may need to allow an extra cut to accomadate the front two feet]. With the decor panels back on I hope the...
