    Scratches in paintwork

    If the scratches are not too deep "Brasso" applied with a soft cloth in a circular motion works wonders.

    Land Rovers

    They may have the aerodynamics of a garden shed, are as environmentally friendly as napalm and cold and cramped, but I would have nothing else. My current Defender TD5 dates from 2001 and absolutely nothing has gone wrong. The tyres have most of their tread after 58,000 miles and it still has...

    Laptop Repair

    I humbly assumed that as it solved a problem for me it may be of some use to other people, however I certainly won't bother in future if that is the sort of reaction that ensues!

    open fire or wood burner

    I've got a Hunter wood burning stove connected to a stainless, insulated flue. I had it professionally installed as you now have to have a certificate of installation ensuring that there is an adequate through draft in the room where it is installed and the fireplace and grate have certain...

    chainsaw

    It sounds as if it is running too lean probably caused by an air leak. Look for leaks in the fuel line and carb gaskets.

    Air Compressor oil.

    It is now time to change the oil in my piston type air compressor. Would it be OK to use normal multi-viscosity car engine oil or would I have to purchase very expensive compressor oil. The instructions supplied with the machine are of no help. Thanks in advance folks.

    Compressor driven by generator.

    I have a 2.2kva generator which I think pushes out about 1,800 watts. I want to buy an air compressor of about 1.5 HP which I think draws about 1,100 watts. I know that on the face of it the generator should be adequate but I have been told that some electric motors need a large current in order...

    Constructing a base for a shed

    I want to errect a 10' x 12' shed in a wood and it would be difficult to get in a concrete mixer and lay a hard base. Would it be OK to errect the shed on bearers and if so what size would the bearers have to be and how far apart? Would the bearers need to be resting on slabs and if so would I...
