Unfortunately if it's dye, it's pretty permanent. Buy a new top?

It could be the brushes. A motor exhibits loss of power when these wear out.

You're probably too young to remember the bitter (and I mean bitter) confrontation between the miners and the government and not only that, there was the Murdoch dispute, some other dispute over a photographic plant. All this accompanied by violent scenes and division. You can argue that the...

I believe that there was a recent ruling that said that goods and services bought outside the UK were no longer covered by this. If you buy within the UK then your contract is with the card provider. This used to apply to purchases made outside the UK but it wasn't clear if there was any...

So in other words it's all a waste of money and load of old b*ll*cks. Signed P*ssed off from Dorset Yes, bad start to the day. :evil:

This forum never ceases to amaze me! Looks reasonably expensive though.

You need to open a valve on the system to ensure that once you start pressurising the EV the water you push out of the chamber has somewhere to go. Otherwise you'll just pressurise the system again and not put much air in. As the pressure gauge on the boiler measures water pressure it should...

Will this happen necessarily? If it was picked up on a survey and all it needed was a PIR then surely that would just go to the buyer. Presumably BC would only get involved if they were asked to carry out the inspection. I'm not into local bureaucracy so I'm just asking the question.

I've seen repairs carried out like this and generally if they know what they're doing, the final result should be pretty good. I don't know what the sales laws are in Canada but in the UK buyers have a 12 month legal warranty on all goods purchased. I expect that the table would have...

I hate to say this but it shows in your next quote: If your electricity supply is 220 volts, you want to limit the current they draw to 2 amps (this equates to power of 440 watts (2Ax220V=440w)). If what you are saying is that you can draw 1300 watts power from your source then your...

Stupid question, but why do you want to measure the power when all appliances have the power rating marked on them? I've looked on the net for such items and found loads of US makes but no UK versions. They seem to retail at around $40 which seems a lot for a device that tells you...

I would suggest you take the large pulley wheel off completely and find out what the mechanism should be for stopping it moving in the first place. It should either lock into something or screw on to the same thread as the nut (as in Hotpoint). I wouldn't recommend bodging it until you...

It's charged at time of manufacture. I believe that most (all?)expansion vessels have a rubber diaphram in them. The air is on one side, water on the other. When you fill your system the air compresses to the pressure of the water. If you drain the water down the air will just push the...

What sort of gap are you talking about? If you're having fitted carpet laid and the fitter knows his stuff he will fit carpet right up to the skirting and probably hide anything up to 5mm. Also, it's not a bad thing to have a bit of air circulation.

Try posting this in the Plumbing section. You'll probably get a speedier response! :)

Just remembered - I should have earlier because I have used this - another excellent finish is Sikkens. This is a microporous finish that lets the wood breathe. It's a cross between a varnish and a stain. You can get a whole range of shades depending on what you want. I would use it in...

If it's doing everything else but the drum is just rotating without going into fast spin then it's highly likely to be the brushes. How old is it and how often is it used?

No, I think D&J missed it. My son and his fiancee went out to Thailand on Boxing Day. They were going to go to Krabi but changed their plans when they arrived and found out what had happened. Could have been a different story if they'd gone before Christmas - doesn't bear thinking about...

Looking at your picture I would hazard a guess that the water staining is nothing to do with the beading. The water marks are all along the joins in the timber at the foot of the door. I suspect that the wood has expanded/contracted (as all wood does) and that the join has opened up slightly...
