Thanks, will try that

Any clue where the fuel tank breather is? Nothing obvious that I can see.

I could do with some help with my Stihl MS181 chainsaw which starts OK, but then stops after about 30secs, regardless of if I leave it to warm up in idle or rev it up as soon as it will take it. I have cleaned the air filter and checked the fuel filter, both look ok. I have heard that it...

Answering my own question. Just watching the wife play minecraft and that matches exactly the little cross in the centre of the screen!

My Panasonic th-50px70ba plasma tv shows a faint crosshair in the centre of the screen , approximately 1 inch in length. I can't think of anything that would have been left on the screen to burn in like that. Any ideas what it might be?

Internally sheathed in osb. So... getting back to the subject of anchoring. Any ideas?

Following the storms a few months ago, which destroyed both of my 24'x12' field shelters, I am keen on the replacements staying put. So, I am looking for a reasonably priced way of providing some added storm-resistance. I have looked at http://www.groundbolt.co.uk/field_shelters.html, but...

Not sure,I can't see any o ring

I cant' get the "quick release" nozzle fitted into the gun assembly. I can't push it in far enough to be able to twist it into place. I have tried some oil down the inside of the gun, no effect. Any ideas? TIA

Jeyes fluid will kill it and doesn't stain tarmac (well at least not black tarmac)

I bought some decent quality ear defenders (3M Peltor Optime 3 III Ear Defenders Muffs). I use them when operating a petrol leaf blower and they are very good, but you can also hear someone talking to you.

The dual flush button on my cistern will sometimes stick down. Annoying when on a water meter. It is similar to this...

Thanks, looks good.

Gap? The clothes store? Presumably it is a diy chain we don't have locally - do they have a website?

I have a nice flat area of my (largish) garden and I want to mark out a court. Proper line marking equipment is too expensive and I have been experimenting with cheap emulsion and a garden sprayer - a bit slow and needs re-doing regularly. I had a bit of pvcu trim left over from a project...

Whatever it is, fly spray will probably kill anything in there.

Sounds like a masonry bee to me. They are solitary and do not have a hive, but like soft mortar, particularly on a south facing wall (because it is warmer). Into which they tunnel to lay their egg, I had loads when I first moved into current house and needed an exterminator to spray them, but...

Further developments... I gave the mower a good jetwash then a quick test-mow. Then I found an identical part on the ground ! So, unless this is an extraordinary coincidence, I am sure this comes from the mower and they come in pairs. I have emailed the pictures to mountfield uk to see...

Sorry, it's about 3 inch long. Not at home currently will see if it is of the exhaust later. I did find a parts diagram for the Mountfield 1430 but couldn't spot it on there.

I found this mystery part in my garden. I think it might have dropped off my Mountfield ride-on mower, but can't be sure. Everything seems to function as normal on the mower as far as I can tell. Any ideas what it is and where it belongs?
