Following up from a previous post, to the cause of the automatic gear box becoming jerky, slow to respond from neutral in to gear and kick down along with the whistling sound when accelerating appears to be caused by the hydraulic transmission fluid getting to hot therefore thinning, this only...

Thanks for the answer, any advise on how to completely flush the fluid from the gearbox to remove all trace of water, the method I had previously used was to suck the fluid from the dip stick tube but as you know this only removes the fluid that is in the sump at the time and not the fluid...

Recently had a automatic transmission coolant pipe burst inside the radiator resulting in the radiator water mixing with the auto oil. I have replaced the radiator and flushed the transmission oil up to 4 times to remove all traces of water When driving the car now all appears to be ok until...

Yes. The automatic transmission fluid (hydraulic oil) runs through the radiator to be cooled and back to the gear box, the pipe has burst inside the radiator and the fluid has spilled out. What fluid remains in the gear box is now contaminated with water. replacing the radiator should not be to...

(Chrysler grand Voyager 3.3 Automatic 97 reg) Just had the automatic transmission oil pipe burst in the radiator transmission fluid/oil and coolant turned milky chocolate, I intend to replace the radiator myself, cant afford garage prices, any tips on the best method to flush the contaminated...

Good point. So in theory you will not be able to reduce the temperature by the mixer tap as you will only be reducing the flow therefore increasing the temperature, if you was to increase the cold water flow at the mixer tap supplied by the same mains pressure/pipe as the hot water, would this...

Any advise on the following Would a shower head controlled by a manual mixer tap supplied by 12kw instant water heater provide the same output as a 12kw electric shower. The instant water heater will also supply a basin tap but not at the same time as the shower This would save me having to...

Any advise on the following Just had a new boiler fitted, all works well The fitters advised the gas supply to the meter is lower then expected, called out the Grid, they agreed there may be a small blockage and started to dig up the street and drive, unable to clear or find the blockage the...

If you was to add up the cost of all the operating components using a replacement parts list as a guide along with the assembly labour cost saving i would expect to half the overall cost although i'am sure it doesn't work that way, however it should still be possible to make a considerable...

Can any one advise where I can purchase just a garage door without all the operating components, springs, runners, ect. The garage is converted to a room with the original garage door opening bricked up with the intention of fitting a new dummy door to keep the original appearance of the house...

As noted on a previas post,. I was advised by Building Control that providing a vapour barrier is created and the single 4" brick wall is well insulated, this be compliant with the current B Regs, the insulation values was stated but cannot remember the figures Any advise on other works...

Logically what you have stated would seem correct, however as the building control advised, I can either double up the existing wall by building another course of bricks, alternatively I can install a membrane and insulation to coincide with the B Regs. They were not specific to the type or...

I was led to believe the membrane against the brick was to prevent the moisture absorbed through the single brick from passing beyond the membrane Should I consider installing 2 layers of membrane, 1 against the brick face and 1 behind the PB or would this cours the cavity between the 2...
