    Is it possible to beat an active PIR sensor which is mounted to a top corner of a room by sliding across the floor on your stomach? I saw this done on "The Gadget Show" today but wasn't sure if pet friendly sensors were used.

    Friend of a friend ruined my sash windows

    I'm one for using someone who has been recommended. I've used friends or friends of friends in the past and its never worth it. Only use someone you know if you can trust that their work will be spot on. If they are a good friend they won't want payment until after the work is complete. I've...

    Ford KA Radio Code

    Sometimes you may be lucky enough to have the radio code written in your manual. This is something the dealership should do on all new cars but very rarely happens.

    The Man Cave : A garden office (aka fancy shed)

    Good luck. All I will say is plan twice fit once. You don't want to find that you have to remove or damage anything you have fitted beacuse you forgot something. Keep us posted on how it goes.

    New Home alarm advice

    You could try an AEI wireless system. They are easy to fit, expandable and can be taken with you when you move. You could fix a window sensor in the room where your son sleeps and also one on his door to secure both means on entrance or exit. You can set different zones so it is possible to arm...

    Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what most new car companies do to help reduce emissioins isn't it? Makes more sense when I think about it.
