Well, I just don't understand it as we have dehumidifier, a few of those plastic disposable dehumidifiers, the window ajar in the day and yet it is feeling damp-wet in places. No water on the outside wall at all. Also, we have old cupboard doors we had dipped and stripped 25 years ago and they...

I can see them on Ebay ranging from £60. Scrap is not ideal as you have no guarantee if it went the same way, as well as wasting money having it fitted. I can't fit it as you have to take the panel off. I think the quote to fit is reasonable.

I have had it checked properly by a mechanic who says the the fitting will be £100. Sourced the part brand new next day delivery for £420 inc vat. The number part is 6R0423156C

No, he hasn't looked at it. I called in today and just asked him what it would cost. Told him the checks I had made.

Well, after checking the fuse, battery and fluid my mechanic told me there isn't anything else he can think of. He said it's silly money to have it replaced and probably better scrapping. Gutted as it's a very good car that has just passed it's MOT.

It has never occurred before in my 14 years of ownership. I think I used to hear a whirring noise in the seat when about to start up now you mention it. I'll check that tomorrow.

.My Polo doesn't have those connections.

Checked it and no break in the wire.

Earlier this week I parked up my 23 year old Polo to find that that power assist had completely stopped with a warning on the dash indicating a problem. I checked the level of fluid in the tank and it looks normal. Then I tested the alternator and battery with a multimeter. Battery read 12.6...

I'll have another go tomorrow thanks.

Good idea thanks but ideally I would prefer to not have to put a hole in one of them.

My step bricks have slumped down over the years which I want to re-lay. can anyone tell me how I can get them out without damaging them please as I tried a crowbar which didn't work and I stopped for fear of chipping them ?

The trouble with lead flashing being that wide is it can't overlap too much as the window has to be able to open as well as slide out along the ridge for servicing, cleaning etc.

Something like this perhaps ? https://edgebp.co.uk/product/rsb-ltf-aluminium-lean-to-flashing-profile/

Well, after using the advided sealant that doesn't shrink or expand, it has happened again after at first staying smooth. I give up!

Perhaps beveled mortar will do it ?

I have been peeling it off with bare hands as I didn't think there was any risk.

I put this up a few years ago against wooden battens. I then added some black tar like stuff on a roll I got from Aldi or Lidl to act as flashing. Huge mistake! It only took one summer for it to shrink and persih creating holes. It's now a pig to get off, even with a scraper. The wall is also...
