I'm not really sure where he is 'pilloried'. I was merely asking for people's professional opinion on something I wasn't sure about. I quite clearly state that I am not a roofer and proposed that he suggested marine ply as he wanted to do the best job possible. As for earning more than me, it...

* they're

Thanks Andy, will do. I always ask tradesmen for a breakdown too. I.e how much for parts/materials, specification of parts/materials and how much I'm paying for labour. Sometimes their not too keen on it but at the end of the day I want to know what I'm getting for my hard earned cash. Cheers...

Thanks for the replies guys. He was recommended to me and what you've said on here has re-assured me. Only thing though is he was meant to phone me with a quote yesterday and to date still hasn't called. Might have to phone someone else. Thanks again for the help:)

nice one, thanks for the help guys! Not sure whether to use him now given the marine ply suggestion, but then again he is a local guy who was recommended to me and has supposedly done a lot of work about here. I'm in two minds. When he phones back to give me the quote I'll ask him why he...

Hi, I am getting quoes to re roof a felt garage. The garage has metal trusses that run between the two walls. On top of this is OSB board which is then covered in felt. The felt is leaking something awful and as such the OSB boards are rotten and bending. The roof has been leaking for a very...

Hi, It's on the Forno bravo website. I've attached a photo of the types of bricks im looking for. Thanks again

Thanks for the reply. Im looking for them to buid the base of a pizza oven and the sites on the net about building them all seem to be based in Australia or the US, and they call the blocks by different names, so thanks for clearing up the semantics. I've emailed a brick merchants in...

Hi, I have a feeling that this is a very silly question, but I've been searching the internet and cant seem to find builders merchants that sell 2 core concrete blocks. I seem to only be able to find companies that sell to the construction industry. I think that is what they are called...

Hi Folks, Having replaced the battery, the service light now comes on. The manual says to hold down the odometer then switch ignition on and turn to the right. But this doesn't work Does anyone know how to reset the service light for an 02 polo? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Kingboy, Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at that. Maybe it's a loose wire at the back. Also, cause i changed the battery i need a code for the radio. Do you know where i could find that out? Cheers

Hi, I have a vw polo 1.2 2002. The display lights have flickered off for a while now. They just switch off for a split second and then back on every now and then. It never bothered me before as it seemed harmless enough, but i am now selling my car and obviously to a buyer this doesn't look...

Alright Mate, Sorry didn't get back earlier. Picked the car up tonight. For timing chain, fit new speed sensor and fit new camshaft sensor (which prev garage broke) and for an MOT it came to £670. Just glad to have the thing working and have a year mot so i can sell it now. Just...

Hi Folks, Right, got it from first garage guy on Friday and he didnt charge me anything although he had spent some time on it trying to work out what it was, so i thought that was good of him. Spoke to the vw guy today and he doesn't think anything is wrong with the valves but that the...

thanks for the reply. yeah the guy said today that it was a chain. the oil was low, although not below the min line, and he theorised it might be that the tensioners which are pressurized by oil that might have caused it to jump. if that doesnt make sense or doesnt sound right it might be me...

will do chief, taking it there sat morning so post then cheers :D

not sure. called vw specialist today and he said should cost 500-600 if that's what's wrong with it. said to bring it down and he'll have a look at it for free (presume he means diagnose) so going to take it there. thanks for the reply though :D

thanks for the reply. both the garage guy and the rac guy called it the timing chain. must have meant belt. thanks for the info. Cheers
