Hi I'm trying to remove the toilet seat so that I can access the chrome brackets to tighten them up, any ideas on how to remove this style of seat. I've tried pushing the white peg in, pulling the white peg, turning the peg.

Hi, I've got a Hotpoint wdd960 (LCD screen) which has been fine until tonight (about 18months old). I'm getting the following falut code F04 which i think might be something to do with the pressure switch? Does anybody know if I'm on the right track? Also does anybody know how to drain the...
