Newish Ford Transit. Wet belt engine problems. If it does have a wet belt some idiot decided that a synthetic rubber timing belt running in oil was a good idea. Oil tends to melt the rubber allowing fibres from the belt to clog the oil pickup and causes the engine to seize through a lack of oil...

Those wires could possibly have 240 volts across the live and the neutral. This is could well be a fatal voltage if you happen to touch a live wire with any part of your body. I'm afraid that if you do not know how to use a multimeter safely, and there is no way to actually be 100% safe when...

Prices of timber has gone through the roof especially treated timber but with that said it is a rip off without a doubt especiallyn by the, so called, big box stores.

I wonder how they managed to remove that piece of glass without the whole pane crazing over. Anyway the reason it is misting up is because the seal has been broken. You MIGHT be able to dry it out with a hairdrier blowing into the hole but really the only permanent cure is to replace the whole...

Fully loaded ones are illegal AND are being cracked down on.

Yes thanks I did see those but the symptoms are different. My boiler has worked faultlessly since the last episode which was around the same month last year when we had a similar hot spell. It's a bit weird and is probably something to do with overheat and that probably means a new control panel...

Hi all. This boiler is locking out with a (according to the fault finding chart and my observations) "slow flash (mostly off) ignition lockout. Check -Gas present and at the correct pressure. - Gas valve. Is there 29V dc to each solenoid.- The resistance of each solenoid (>9.3.4). -Combustion...

Because, as you should know, those plastic nuts and bolts are rubbish. When they work loose, which they will, extra tightening to stop the drip will result in the plastic threads being stripped. Yes you can use the metal ones and I always add a locknut if one isn't supplied. if there wasn't an...

It could a number of things but if it were me I would start with the water inlet solenoid. If that is faulty then you would get no water.

Our last house that we moved from 3 years ago still had those fuses when we sold it. They worked for me so I didn't bother having a new CU put in. The chap who bought our house wasn't bothered because he was going, to more or less, gut it and rebuild. I have seen silver paper wrapped around...

I moved from 30 years in Yorkshire back to Wales where I was born and where my family are. Worse decision of my life.

My armitage shanks bog in a box from b&q leaked as well until I bought those nuts and bolts with the double rubber cones that you linked to.

They have moved because the slabs have been laid directly on the soil and there is nothing on the stones side to hold them. They need to be pushed, lifted or levered back into place using muscle, they aint that heavy I have 25 to move from the road UP to my garden and then laid for a shed slab...

I think you have stacked them too close to each other. I have similar bins but on a rack. The gaps between mine are an inch or so and that lets me put my hand in.

Whilst I agree with everything that the trump haters on this forum say and look with incredulity at the clowns who support him the Dems were their own worse enemy in the last elections. The car crash harris was never in a million years going to become president even if she had had a credible...

Idiot.

And whether you have full fibre or not it will not improve the WIFI signal which is absolutely nothing to do with the type of internet connection you have.

When I did an oak table a few months back there was no way in the world could I match the leaves, which had been folded down for years, to the top of the table. I had to take all the wood back to bare wood and then I used tung oil for the finish.

The blokes who did mine did pressure wash it first then painted it with Sandtex Smooth. Looks okay, certainly way way better than the original render. It has got a bit of black stuff growing on it in small areas so I will pressure wash again when we get a bit of sun. The black mold seems to be a...

Remove that idiotic phone link rom Windows. It causes more problems than it solves. I use Ccleaner to remove the MS clag then delete Ccleaner.
