What chemical did you use?

Hi All, Went in the loft today to have a bit of a tidy up and found some dust on things that looked like wood dust, looked around and found some woodworm holes in quite a few of the roofing timbers. House was built around 1970. I would say there are 10-30 holes per timber. I had a look on here...

I know these seem like Snake Oil but I bought a similar device from a car boot sale for a couple of quid new/unused. I am an electronics Engineer and very sceptical of all these things. Anyway, I've had it years now and it does work! I'm in a hard water area too!

I believe it is a Prestex 69 but the length is more like 90mm rather than the 75mm this appears to be

But where did U get the internals from?

Hi all, Any ideas whether I can get parts to fix this stop cock from anywhere? Basically I need the head. House was built in the 1970s. I turned it off to do some plumbing and it seized shut. Tried taking it out but it is in such an awkward place, managed to get the nuts undone but there is...

I have removed the gearbox several times on a couple of Citroen C3s over the years. Each time the slave cylinder had to be replaced as the seals leaked after removel from the clutch lever. This was obvious before re-fitting as fluid was dripping out the end. I could have ignored it & got some...

When it kicks out the reset light only is lit continuously. With the F3 in, the pump turned up a notch & the heating zone valve head off so that the boiler heats the heating system whether heating or hot water is selected it seems to be working (Famous last words)

The boiler runs fine for quite a while but then kicks out. Radiators getting hot.

Hi all, My elderly parents boiler is playing up. Had a heating Engineer out as it kept doing silly things, various error codes. He replaced the PCB, thermistor and phial. Since then it has been going into reset which I understand means it has overheated. Called the plumber back, he promised to...

What is the L shaped metal rod for on this mitre gauge. I have two bandsaws and both have them and done a search and can't find what they are actually for. Help!

Hi all, I thought I would check the expansion vessel pressure on my sealed heating system. I put a tyre gauge on the vale and no air came out. If I use a pump to inflate the pressure vessel the boiler pressure goes up but I still can't get any pressure reading from the valve. I don't get any...

Hi All, Anybody know of any products that allow two way switching of USB power? I have a USB light over the bed which I want me & the Mrs to be able to switch on & off using something similar to those inline switches you get with a table lamp. I could of course get some single pole double throw...
