Hi people. Have a concealed cistern toilet which keeps running after flushing. However if we turn the water off and then back on it will stop flushing and fill up properly! Can't investigate fully as the cabinet it is fitted to won't allow the lid to come off the cistern so it's tiles off and...

Hi, Probably been asked many times but specifics always makes you wonder if its applicable to your case:- I am having to empty my loft due to getting it treated for woodworm. The loft is used heavily for storage & is boarded out throughout. It currently has 70mm of fibreglass insulation as...

Hi all, Need help with this one. My elderly parents keep their walkers in their garage which has a Henderson Electric Roller door. It's gone wrong and they can't now get their walkers in and out their selves. They have been telling me the door has been playing up for weeks getting stuck open...

What chemical did you use?

Hi All, Went in the loft today to have a bit of a tidy up and found some dust on things that looked like wood dust, looked around and found some woodworm holes in quite a few of the roofing timbers. House was built around 1970. I would say there are 10-30 holes per timber. I had a look on here...

I know these seem like Snake Oil but I bought a similar device from a car boot sale for a couple of quid new/unused. I am an electronics Engineer and very sceptical of all these things. Anyway, I've had it years now and it does work! I'm in a hard water area too!

I believe it is a Prestex 69 but the length is more like 90mm rather than the 75mm this appears to be

But where did U get the internals from?

Hi all..... I have a porch with nothing under it (if that makes sense) the roof is felted and the underside clad in UPVC. I got on the roof at the weekend as I wanted to check the seals around the window above. On getting on the roof I noticed that the left.most section in the picture below was...

Hi All, My Ideal Isar HE24 seems to have a weird problem. It works but when hot water is called for & the flow is not fully on the pump cam be heard to ramp up & down continuously. The pressure also them rises & drops with thepump noise. The pressure rise is only a few hundred mbar but...

Hi, Got given the above MacBook Pro. It came with no hard drive. I have put a SSD in but need to install the operating system. I don't have another Mac only a PC. I've asked around and no one I know has any Mac install media. How do I go about installing it? Thanks in advance

I have removed the gearbox several times on a couple of Citroen C3s over the years. Each time the slave cylinder had to be replaced as the seals leaked after removel from the clutch lever. This was obvious before re-fitting as fluid was dripping out the end. I could have ignored it & got some...

When it kicks out the reset light only is lit continuously. With the F3 in, the pump turned up a notch & the heating zone valve head off so that the boiler heats the heating system whether heating or hot water is selected it seems to be working (Famous last words)

The boiler runs fine for quite a while but then kicks out. Radiators getting hot.
