    Hot tap won't turn properly - spindle adapter broken (?)

    Hi, I have a tap that has a small white plastic adapter (I think that's what it's called). The plastic clip has broken, this results in the hot tap not working - it just spins around on the spindle. I've tried to buy the small white clip which sits on top of the spindle and fits neatly into...

    Windshield Seal - Small Break

    No water is coming in, it's just a break in the rubber, I'm concerned it'll get worse. There's no chipping or glass damage. I'm planning on just doing a patch job with some sealant. I'd rather not pay £230 for a new seal as the car is worth about £500!

    Windshield Seal - Small Break

    Hi, I have a small break in the windshield seal of my 2005 Honda Civic. Currently, the windshield is fine. Autoglass want £230 to replace the seal. Can I get away with a sealant and adding in a small amount of rubber? (See picture) Thanks Jay

    Replacing the battery on a veritas R8 alarm

    Unfortunately, it's not as easy as I first thought (not much in life is!) I couldn't get the old battery off, it looks like the wires and ends are corroded together (see picture). I'm wondering if I can just replace the black and red battery cables (highlighted in the second picture), but I'm...

    Replacing the battery on a veritas R8 alarm

    OK, thanks. Is that the wrong battery? The specs looked the same as the old one (12v, 1.3ah)

    Replacing the battery on a veritas R8 alarm

    Hi, I've got a Veritas R8 alarm. The "unset" button is flashing, from a Google, it looks like it could be a faulty battery (no fuses or circuits have tripped). I've ordered a new battery (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J8NECV8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I've got...
