After every heavy rain shower the drivers side foot well carpet is drenched. I have looked under the car and checked all round the doors but can’t see where the rain is coming in. It is only wet in the foot well and I can’t find any where it has tracked down from above. What I’m saying is the...

I’m searching for a small vertical letter plate that fits into the stiles, I think that’s the correct term, of an oak door. It needs to be chrome to match the rest of the furniture. The narrowest so far is 75mm or 3” but these are just the normal horizontal letterplates turned through 90...

The cupboard door in my hall is full height but only the width of a single french door. Anybody got any ideas where I could get a single french door that I can use to replace the 1970's panel door. Ideally it would be oak to match in with the others but at present i've found nothing except a...

Fitted a new halogen ceiling light that has 20 12v capsules and the transformer internally fitted. It looks fantastic but I’d like it to be dimmable. However when I changed the plate switch for a LV dimmer the light buzzes at anything other than full voltage. Is this usual or have I got a...
