Thanks very much for your response. The problem was that the thin copper "wire" that is in the connection to be screwed together was bent flat and therefore not going into Freesat box socket when screwed in. All sorted now! Cheers

Hello We used to have a Freesat record box ( Freesat own device)that worked via our Sky+ dish with no problem and a very good signal.. Eventually the hard drive went and because we didn't use the record or pause option we have now bought a Manhattan SX non recording box. I have connected it...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I think It meant laminate sheet not melamine sheet . Cheers

Hello Can anyone suggest where I can buy a small sheet approx 5ft x 2ft sheet of melamine sheet to make a surface waterproof. I think it is basically the same stuff that a kitchen counter/ worktop is surfaced with. Thanks

Appreciate you advice. Take care.

Hi as per title. My son's 15 year old Mégane is parked at our house while he's away. Alarm keeps going off intermittently. I have disconnected main car battery to hopefully stop it going off again. Is it alright to leave the battery unconnected for a few days until we can get it sorted by...

Thanks. The jig I've made stops that happening .

Hi, I need to cut largish quantities of sheet card that is used to back picture mounts. It is smooth surface ,1.5 mm thick . I would like to cut say ten sheets thickness at a time into 12 X10 pieces. I have designed a jig for this but need to know what tooth blade you feel would be best for...

Thanks for your advice . Much appreciated

Thanks. Mine is an Einhell 18v. It's a great well made saw and batteries are interchangeable with my other Eiinhell tools.

Hi, I have recently purchased a cordless circular saw that I'm very happy with. I have used power tools for a long time but just had a question please. If I am cutting sheet of say 10mm board I have been setting the blade ( as I usually would do ) at about 1/4 inch deeper than the wood being...

Hello, When the weather gets better I will be working on our house's windows. Generally they are in good condition but I know there will be a few places that I might have to sand back to the bare wood. If so do I use primer just on the wood or does it matter if it overlaps/ goes onto the...
