Exedon, I've had a look at the fluid master, looks good - it is easy to fit and are there lots of different sizes? Apologies, whilst I've done a bit of DIY, the biggest plumbing job I've done is bleed a radiator! £2 and 2 hours later, replaced the seal, adjusted the ballon screw several...

Hi, I've got a downstairs toilet with an overflow pipe. When the cistern is full, there's still a small leak from the valve. I've tried adjusting the ballcock, but not luck. Taking a closer look, it looks like the seal in the valve has gone. Are these standard parts I can get from any DIY store...

Thanks guys - will do :-)

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...

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!

Thanks, that's my thinking :-)

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

Thanks, I'll wait until summer. Do you think it's worth trying to cover with a plastic bag to keep the water out?

Hi, My porch post is rotting away, bits are falling off and the paint is flaking at the bottom. Given it's wet and cold at the moment, what's the best way of fixing this (without waiting for summer)? Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys, I bought the spade connectors - all done now :-)

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...

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

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...
