    hoover HNWL 3166

    Use two towels? Seriously, if it's the spin cycle that's the problem. I think this is because the m/c detects an out of balance load. If it's the wash cycle then I don't know.

    part p?

    Confusion reigns? As usual. However I believe that if you are an electrician you can get temporary approval through NAPIT as well (NAPIT.org.uk). Of course it all costs money, but at least NAPIT is non-profit rather than CORGI.

    Saxo rear window problems

    If you've got a multimeter or failing that a 12v bulb, put it across the contacts to the element at the rear window. If you've got power there it's the element, if no power start working back.

    Rogue customer?

    How long have you been in business? :wink: Sounds as though you're going have to reach a compromise. The only way to convince this guy is by showing him that he actually got a really good deal when compared with other outfits. The example of what you get charged out at is one way but an...

    Dishwasher tripping electrics

    1. Unplug it. 2. Do the dishes by the tried and tested method (by hand). OR 3. Get it fixed. What sort of advice were you thinking of getting? Wishing the problem would go away won't do it. Your machine has a fault.

    two-way light wiring

    Look at the "For reference" post ot the top of the forum. More diagrams there than you shake a stick at. All professional too! Could it be anything but here, I ask myself?

    Loft Conversion Lighting Nightmare!! HELP!!!

    The logic of it seems straightforward, you have a hall light controlled by one switch, two way switching between ground and first floor to control the 1st floor landing light, two way switching between 1st and 2nd floor to control the 2nd floor landing light and separate switching for the study...

    cavalier battery running down-Alternator or battery?

    Take it down to your local garage/battery stockist and get them to test it. They can do a battery discharge test and check your alternator charging capability.

    Potterton puma 80 - low pressure

    The expansion vessel needs recharging/replacing. If this is not at the correct pressure then the water pressure rises - as BAHCO says.

    Used Boilers ? - New Regulations in April ?

    When you say "break down" if you mean irrevocably then the answer's "Yes". It's in the new set of building regulations, Part L. All new installations from April Fool's Day 2005 must be condensing boilers unless there's an exceptional circumstance. (And I'm afraid that doesn't include nostalgia...

    First port of call would be the insurance company - they'll give you the definitive answer.

    ok scientists and ologists explain this one to me then

    Yes. If you think about it, the centre of the axle is moving at the same speed as the vehicle, anything rotating around it obviously changes its relative speed depending where it is. Just to confuse things, the track in contact with the ground is stationary and the tank is moving at 60mph...

    ok scientists and ologists explain this one to me then

    All very well, but going back to the original question, when a wheel is in contact with the ground the bit on the road is actually stationary. If it was going forwards then the wheel would be skidding. Similarly the part of the tyre about to touch the road is going backwards relative to the car...

    3-phase on the continent

    On your other post you had quite a few replies, one of which showed the standard four wire system with neutral grounded. If you remove the earth, the whole supply floats. If you believe you have a "floating" supply (although nobody appears to have heard of this in standard electricity supply...

    Jet Travel

    The strange thing is that there's about 0.5million people getting into the US over the Mexican border illegally each year. Homeland security? Don't make me laugh! :lol:

    Don't even give her credit for that. At the time we were shutting down parts of our defence infrastructure all over the place. If Galtieri had waited six months we wouldn't have had the wherewithal to do the job. The dockyard workers who got the task force together did so with redundancy...
