    John Lewis (AEG) dishwasher door spring tension too tight

    Questions about ready mixed concrete

    I need about 1.8m3 of concrete for garden wall footings. How much will it cost? How much to pump it as I live on a hill? What happens if I need more or less? This is the Suffolk / Essex area. Thanks.

    Digital tv in North west Ireland?
