I'm assuming smart gas meters need a power supply. My supplier want to fit one, but the external current meter is nowhere near an electrical supply. This would mean fitting wiring which, i suspect, would be fitted by electricians who won't be concerned with how it looks afterwards. E. G ...

No mate, it drips in same places, poured in until i filled joins in.

I tried glueing down a patch with the tar from tin stuff, thought it was ok but it blew off and stuck onto neibours windscreen.. White spirit came in handy and no one the wiser, they didn't see.. Phew lol

Yes its got a slight slope to rear, 18 x 18 feet square, semi detached with neibour, their side isnt leaking evrn though it looks old too. Ive covered the joins with roofing repair stuff, and when i ran out, wrnt with the tin of tar stuff. The joins looked a bit iffy so got the adhesive...

No it was a tin of roofing tar type stuff.

Hi all, My garage roof has suddenly started leaking in numerous places after a freezing spell, and I am having trouble finding a roofer to relay it. I have been up on the roof and tried sealing the joins between the sheets of felt but not had much luck. Is there anything I could put on the roof...

Was it good for camping in? :-)

Thought seatbelt would stop headbutting. Read somewhere that airbags deoloying without a seatbelt is bad too

Amen to that., rrgardless if airbags fitted or not

Didn't know there was heat resistant stuff too. I had to use it on a gromit that was too small for the hole it was in. No water ingress so far touch wood

I would've said the seatbelt would be the main life saver. My understanding of the airbag is to protect your face and eyes from bits of glass or other fragments etc, downside would be eye injuries though

Yes my thoughts too as airbag warning light flashes which is annoying over time besides an mot fail. Plus insurance and ' modifying a car' I'll be having a look for a basic car next year and see ehats about east european or north korean car lol

Little as possible mate lol.. I am careful when driving and ready to stick my fingers in my ears.. Lol Seriously though, Not sure if all cars must have them fitted for safety requirements. Newer cars anyway.

I have read up on the decibels goven off if an airbag deploys. Does a crash need to be excessive to set them off? They can be 170 decibels. The reason i ask is that i have hearing damage and trying not make it worse for myself and would prefer relying on a seatbelt alone and take the...

Thanks, will get siliconing.

Thanks john, did like you said. The plug going into holder looked fine until i cut it open. Inside was rusted to bits. Ended up replacing the wiring from inside the boot. The gromit fitted by nissan was a bad fit too. Luckily i had silicone to fill in. Repairs are getting more frequent with...

Read fixes with silicone. Do i take the foam rubber 'roman sandal soles' off the light fitting then go round holes with silicone and stick lights in.? Will i get the fittings off ok if i need to change a bulb?

Yes, didn't think of invalidating 1st repair. Will start pestering lol

I don't doubt their ability, just their casual attitude. Yes I'll hold on just fed up waiting for so long.

the backligjt blew so i took it to a repair shop. 2 weeks later i got it back, only to find a light spot on the screen. I retuned it under a repair warrenty 3 weeks ago and called them up. They said it was with an engineer. I looked up how to fix this problem which is dislodged light...
