I'll post a pic tomorrow when I got home, not sure if that is an issue, it's been working fine with the old cm921.

I recently got an ATC928, all work as it should, apart from one annoying niggle. Every day it "looses" connection with the boiler relay. 10 hours later is "regains" connection. Thing is, it doesn't, it still works as it should. so far, it has done it every night without fail, and it does it 10...

Trying to replace the bearings on my WD64, however the inner bearing does not want to budge, am I missing something obvious? Im presuming it comes out from inside the drum, as the inner bearing is larger than the outer, and the seal is pressed in from the inside. Tried my manual bearing...

I had a friend who did a merc sprinter into a 2 berth camper, took him 4 years in total from bare van to finished product, but it did look pro, not a cobbled together. The biggest problem they had was insurance, there are only a few insurers around that will touch a homebuilt camper, DVLA were...

a 24y/o car WILL have faded with age, a ready made tester pot will be the original colour, not the faded one. Id go to a body shop and get them to make up a matching touch up pot, will cost more, but it will match the faded colour

Im guessing oil starvation killed the 1st one, and oil flow wasn't checked when they fitted the new unit, hence the premature failure of the new unit.

indeed, some can be "hacked" to use USB or usb drives (some of the strand desks spring to mind. USB floppy drives are avaliable, I have a couple (for this purpose TBH)

just keep going, the image will degrade over time, when it gets to the point of unacceptable, replace. how long you can push it depends on how good a quality print you want. you wont damage anything if thats what you are worried about.

to add, I do not think you will find a 7-8W lamp that will fit a standard fitting, most, if not all, are longer than standard lamps. 5/6W is the max at a normal 50mm length. £12 is about right for these for decent lamps with a good life/cost/light ratio

check your fittings too, 7W LEDs tend to be longer than a normal lamp (75mm in most cases), so may not fit into downlights etc

presumably he means he swapped a general lighting fitting for one for the dartboard, so it is switched with the rest of the pub lights. decent GU10s are only a couple of quid, not £5 we use some in a similar situation, on all day and they last approx 3 months, (cheepies a couple of weeks if we...

and don't ever put audio on a website that cant be turned off. personally I would prefer it not to be there at all, but if you must, an "off" button is a must. those that don't get closed immediately from me. video with audio should always be a click to play. comic sans, run away...

why not buy a couple of electric meters? http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/350344943270?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla that way you know who has used what and split the bill accordingly.

scoot batteries never seem to last long, I dont know if they overcharge them of something, but mine used to last 12-18 months, even Vartas, that was a Yamaha. The one on my '75 suki 125 did better, but I never noticed cos it didnt have electric start.

I refer you to my previous link, and also these: http://www.harrisonlighting.co.uk/240v-20w-gu5-3-38deg-dichroic-lamp-50mm.html they are far from common, but do exist, the ones I have come accross have always been from shop display cabinets for some reason. Just as 12V GU10 bases exist...
