We have 'pillar' type basin taps on bathroom sink. I didn't realise when we bought them, but the base of the tap is a separate chrome covered plastic ring. They were fitted a couple of years ago, and the chrome started to come off them fairly soon. Cosmetic issue, still functional. Recently...

Thanks Blagard, I will take a look at your link. Last night we did remove the hinge as a way of attaching the spring more easily, and then reinstalled the hinge. As soon as the door was closed the spring flicked off again :( I think it might be better, like you suggest, to replace the whole...

We have an Indesit DIF04 integrated dishwasher with a couple of issues . One thing we have hopefully solved, but the other we hope someone can help with :) We heard a bit of a crash in the kitchen and found the door had flipped down, open. A bit of googling identified that the door catch had...

Thanks for replies, Good news that it sounds feasible at least, if others have been able to do it, we stand a chance then. Maybe we can persuade a couple of other mates to help, as long as we don't get under each others feet. I take your point about checking the actual posts while we are at it...

Halitosis, your garden looks amazing! Please may I ask, did you need to apply for planning permission for the excavation work or have any calcs done? One day I hope to do this with my garden (its on a much smaller scale) but in my case it would be more about moving retaining wall back, rather...

We are hoping to edge our lawn with some reclaimed bricks and have had a couple of quotes for the work, but in doing so its thrown up a few questions. I wondered if anyone here could advise please. The bricks would be set at ground level, with current patio one side and lawn on the other...

Hi, I am helping my brother with his garden. The current fence has concrete posts, 12" gravel boards and wooden panels. The posts seem solid, but the wooden panels are beyond repair. Some of the gravel boards have sunk, and a couple have cracked. Considering the posts seem fine, we are...

Hi, thanks rocks1 for your reply, can you explain a little more please as Im not sure what you mean? The machine heats up water fine, does everything fine as far as I know, apart from provide me with an express cycle.

We have cleaned the filter, it wasn't really dirty (manual says it a 'self cleaning filter') and checked the position and condition of the waste pipe, and all seems fine with both. Tried again, and the 15 minute cycle still lasts as long as a main cycle (well over an hour), anyone got any...

Thats interesting thank you, I will take a look at the waste and filter, I didn't realise anything like that would make the cycle last longer than it should! Fascinating!

Hi, I hope one of you experts can give me some guidance on this please! I have an indesit 6145 washing machine and (touch wood) its working OK on all my usual cycles, but I often want to use cycle 9 which is supposed to be a 15 minute express cycle, however it seems to last just as long as a...
