    I fixed my shower, but not sure how, help please!

    After a lot of faffing about I replaced the cartridge, and once I managed to stop it leaking it now works!

    I fixed my shower, but not sure how, help please!

    I spoke too soon, just tried the shower (without doing anything to valves) and it's back to being cold! Would be grateful for advice.

    I fixed my shower, but not sure how, help please!

    I have a Mira Minilite mixer shower fitting in a downstairs extension. It's maybe 5 years old. A few days ago it stopped running hot, at all, not even lukewarm. I reckoned I might have to replace or fix it so I hunted down the isolating valves. To see if I was turning off the right valves, I ran...

    Bosch fridge LED replacement - success!

    My Bosch fridge (KGV39VL31G) LED light failed recently. I've seen a few posts on here and elsewhere with people struggling to work out how to replace, and apparently Bosch won't tell you, so having just managed to do it I thought I'd post here. Turn off the power first, and don't do this if...

    How did the builders fix this edging in?

    Thanks, that sounds very plausible. I imagine whatever they used as bar they had to hand from the extension, but it would be eBay etc for me!

    How did the builders fix this edging in?

    We have an extension built recently and the builders put a path with gravel and edging around the outside. I'm intrigued by how they fixed the edging into the ground and want to copy it for some garden DIY, but I can't quite figure it out. I did ask them but don't quite get it. Picture...

    Replacing wired door bell/chime

    OK, thanks. Currently the buzzer makes a lame farting sound, which although amusing needs to go!

    Replacing wired door bell/chime

    Great, thanks. I just want to replace it with something more modern - and the current buzzer doesn't work very well. Can I use the existing transformer with all of these?

    Replacing wired door bell/chime

    I'd like to replace the wired door bell and chime in my house. Looking at the transformer attached to the consumer unit it's a Friedland 752 with 3-5-8 V AC 1.0A output. Is there anything I can just attach the to the existing wires or would I be better disconnecting and going wireless? Thanks

    Bathroom extractor took out light - best way forward?

    Yup, fan moves no problem, no build up of anything. I wired it to the plug exactly as it was wired into the duct - just the live and neutral cable going in.

    Bathroom extractor took out light - best way forward?

    Took a couple of days to get round to this but have just wired the fan to a plug and switched on. There's a click, like a relay, but nothing else and definitely not a working fan. It didn't blow the 3A fuse in the plug or trip the consumer unit so I guess it's not shorting. So, new fan needed...

    Bathroom extractor took out light - best way forward?

    Went to the bathroom the other day and the light didn't work and the extractor wasn't running. Discovered that one of the bulbs in the light (G24q type) had literally blown. I reckon the extractor blew in some way, and that took out the lights - but didn't trip the lighting circuit. I've...
