Hi the spin cycle on the washing machine has dropped to a very slow pace. Does anyone know if this is an easy prob to sort myself or do i need to get a pro to look at it.Cheers

Cheers TrickyT, tried that last night and it is a major improvement.Sorry for the delay in responding but its the mrs car and she broke her arm around time of posting question so the job has had to wait.

When i removed the ivy from my property i scraped it back as much as i could then used a pressure washer. Try it on the lowest setting first and on a brick that wont be seen. If it causes any major damage to brickwork stick to the scraper and elbow grease.

When i use the indicators they are very temperamental. They work perfect when indicating right but when indicating left sometimes they work and other times you get a very quick indicator noise but no flashing bulbs. Is it just a matter of changing the flasher.

Thanks for all the responses. I added some chemicals into the petrol, gave it a good blast down 1 junction on the motorway. Back in for the retest this morning and through she went. Best £12.50 spent in ages. So if your motor is going in for its MOT flush the engine through. :D

How much are they. And are they easy to replace.

I have a Toyota Avensis 98 plate. It has just failed its MOT on emissions. Fast idle test speed 2650/min limit, mine is 2464 pass CO 0.3 limit mine is 0.01 pass HC 200 limit mine is 7 pass Lambda 1.03 limit mine is 1.13 fail 2nd idle test...

I have an artexed bathroom ceiling 4m2 aprox. Do i give it a coat of pva before plastering or do i use another product because its a bathroom? :?

Try putting a binding timber across all the sagging timbers to equalize the weight a bit better. Make sure that it spans all the joists across the room and plus some in other rooms . Also fix timber ties from the perlin to binder. This will spread the weight.

Thanks for all the posts even the comical ones. The fairy ring that i have is a bl***y big one and the thought of doing all that digging just for my front lawn is OTT, and my 2 young daughters (2 &6)would never forgive me if i dug them up now.So for the seeable future, well until the kids get...

The job that i am running is for a local authority and a DFG job

NO. Iam running a disable adapt job at the moment at a domestic property and drawings state 1m wide doorways.The surveyor has said that these are the new regs.

If you are collecting the doors yourself check them then to see if they are warped. Prior to hanging, if you are storing them at home lay them in a pile, flat and on some timber battens.DO NOT STAND THEM UP AGAINST A WALL, they will warp.Also hang them on 3 hinges, and decorate asap to stop...

I have a ring of toadstalls in my lawn. What is the best way to get rid of them for good ?

All doorways have to have a clearance of 1m that are too be accessed by wheechair. You used to be able to fit 926mm doors which are plenty big enough, but now you have to cut them out of a door blank.Just another stupid idea by someone justifying there job.
