I’ve got other issues with mine now but the solution was to use a Stanley Knife. You can get enough leverage for it to lift the light out cover. Go for inner metal circle not the outer one to just remove the cover not the full fitting.

There is an issue with the lights on my Lamona Curved Glass Chimney Extractor and I had an engineer visit. He wasn’t able to remove the decorative chimney surround and suggested I need a joiner to remove the kitchen panels above, which I’m not keen on. The surround catches on the raised bit as...

I haven’t it’s supposed to be a user serviceable part and I don’t really want to go unwiring the hood.

Good shout yeah trying between the two rings of metal. The only thing would be if I really need to force it in which would probably bend the metal.

What type of knife were you thinking? Tried a few Stanley Knife, Kitchen Knives and all too wide!

Good shout but aready tried that. I've got an Ikea Halogen lamp which came with one.

No dipstick on my car, to be honest it's probaby better as the system makes sure you're checking it under the correct conditions e.g temperature not on a slope which can impact the reading. Also I assume it would alert when low, which a car with a dipstick doesn't until it's far too late.

I seem to remember a batch of the old style blue ones were stolen years ago and they changed to the new style then.

I've got a Lamona Extractor Hood (LAM2502-1) and last night after I'd gone back to it both lights had gone out. As a first port of call I'd like to change the bulbs which are G4W halogen. The manual says "Unclip the lamps using a thin blunt blade taking care not to mark and replace with new...

Thanks for the quick response. I've ordered that and demount kit. I take it I can just use the demount kit to unscrew the copper pipe and refit from there?

Can anyone help identify what part or parts this is please? It goes between the top of the toilet shut off valve and the base of the toilet fill valve. It broke when I removed the cistern to fit a new flush mechanism.

Thanks both, looking on You Tube, looks straightforward to do myself. Is it fairly standard sized fittings? My house was built in 2007 and it's the original bath. Also I have some Plumbers Gold that was opened about a year ago, will it still be good to use?, or should I buy new?

Thanks, do you know what the part's called that I need to search for?

Thanks Andy, suspected that might be the case. Not sure I fancy doing it myself so time to find a local plumber.

Does anyone know what this part is call and if I can buy it on it's own or do I need a whole new waste and overflow mechanism? It's the part between the twist handle and the bath from an Ideal Standard bath with combined waste and overflow mechanism. Have spent the last hour or so trying to...
