    How to use a Multimeter to test if wires are live

    Those wires look like there in a block connector. Turn off your consumer unit and carefully remove the tape and take a photo of what's under it, if it's a 'chocolate block' then it's fairly easy to safely check it

    Neaten this pipework

    It would look tidier even if you moved the vertical drop so it's tight to what looks like box section then had a longer horizontal run at skirting height painted to match the wall

    Bloody Tyre Shops

    I'm not surprised any of the wheel alignment is out, she doesn't look after it and being a bmw platform it runs an amount of negative camber anyway. My issue is in them stating there dangerous and have to be changed there and then, but the next day they pass them in an mot, they were simply...

    150mm hole - close to the edge

    Is it a decorated wall? If not I'd get a decent sized bit of 18mm osb or ply, cut your hole out of it then mount the board to the wall making sure to get screws in each block and the board will help hold it all together while you core. Once you've cored 25mm or so into the material use a...

    Polishing headlamps

    From memory the meguirs kit comes with the buffer for a drill, the polish and a small sanding pad with 2 different grits on it. For the best results I tend to find it's worth an hour wet and drying them from 400 grit upwards to 1200 grit then polish, if it's for one of my cars then ill...
