But it only seems that way because there is no one in that lane to begin with. So technically I was overtaking everyone....but only because no one was using the damn lane. Now....I did not speed down the outside, but any speed above 10mph made it seem like I was skipping past everyone...

Does anyone else get frustrated that no-one seemingly knows how to do a lane closed merge in turn. I was driving yesterday, and entering a duel carriage section off a roundabout, there were signs informing everyone that in 200 yards the outside lane was closed. Everyone had got into the inside...

Need a new indicator relay for my ford ka mk1. Looking at new/unused oem part someone has spare stock of, but I don't want to buy something that's too old. So I was wondering if the anything on that part looks like a date code. I was wondering if the 70920 is exactly that. Anyone more...

Thanks for all the help everyone. I did my best. I rang a local gas safe guy, who was of the same opinion as me and many comments above. He was more than happy and qualified to come and do all the relevant tests. But alas, despite this information the elderly neighbour feels it is beholden...

She had not used it for a long while before getting the EDF person to do a check. She also indicated that she struggled to find a gas safe contractor willing to test/service it. Her main stress was the idea that she could not sell the house with a condemned fireplace. :rolleyes: A deposit...

The sad thing is, she has plenty of halogen heaters. I have got a bit more information today. She's convinced herself that a condemned fireplace means she can't sell the house or that she would be responsible if owners used it after she sold it. No certificate was left indicating why it was...

I think the 3k-ish quote comes from the total of that first part of the quote: £1183.59 + VAT = £1420.30 Then assuming they are doing the additional flu and ancillaries £ 1243.85 +VAT = £1492.62 Total £2912.92

I considered that. But there is a difference (in my view) between running an inefficient appliance for the decorative effect, and getting completely rinsed for the installation cost of said appliance (if this is indeed an excessive amount). Especially if there is an element of the person being...

They are aware that it is essentially an open decorative gas fireplace (they like that aspect of it). They are also somewhat aware that it will be comparatively inefficient to run, with a lot of wasted heat. Here is a higher resolution image. I will also update the original post with it.

I was at an elderly neighbour and they happened to mention they were getting their gas fireplace re-instated. This is after an EDF person was around and installing some heating controls, they did a check on the fireplace (at the homeowner's request) and said it had to be condemned. Now, it...

I assume DOT4 is plenty good enough for a car of this type/age.

I assume something like this is just as good too. Pressurise the system and bleed as normal. There is another page in the manual which shows this method too.

Preparing to do a brake bleed on the car. Seems simple enough. This is the official workshop guide: This is exactly what I expected. However, I came across a few guides online that say you have to be careful with the pumping the break method and that a gravity bleed is better: " Doing this...

Would a fault code get flagged if the alternator was supplying too high of a voltage?

Would a modern car give fault codes with an alternator issue? Or would you expect some kind of code. By modern I mean, last 10 years.

Not a silly question. I have considered putting it back in part torn. Is it a part that is integral to the car? No. So it in that regard....it's not a major issue. But, I'd rather try to keep it all in one piece as it is a moulded rubber foam part. Also, it's just useful to know what can...

not sure that would that would not really work as it is a non uniform tear. It would be like trying to sticky tape a chunk of foam. This looks interesting: Might just be an advertisement. But that's similar rubber, mine is just a big wodge of it. Edit: Hmm, looks like it might just be a...

I don't think it sticks well. The standard stuff anyway. I have some Gorilla contact adhesive, but from memory, I don't think it ends up making a good bond.

I have a tear in some epdm rubber foam car insulation. It fact one bit has torn off. They are bits that wedge into parts around the bonnet. I know this material is very difficult to glue as it is a foam type rubber, and very porous. Very difficult to find a good answer online. Most of the...

Hmm, you are correct, all the modern storage heaters seem to need a day supply. The elnur ones seem to suggest they can be bypassed to work on a single supply, but vague as to whether this would work on a switching supply. So, it seems to get a modern storage heater of any sort a dual supply...
