No, I haven't if I'm honest! Sounds like where I should keep my bars of Dairy Milk. Thought I'd explored all the doors and covers for user-serviceable parts. Where should I be looking?

I'm with you. Hopefully it's the former! It was about £14 I think for a genuine one, so hopefully it works! It's too good not to at least give it a go.

First thing I thought when I initially saw the condenser light, but the condenser itself is clear and the two filters clear. The 'air in' port at the back looks a little dusty so can't think why this would cause overheating. The 'hamster wheel' type cylinder spins freely when the dryer is...

I've bought a new one so I am going to replace it seeing as I have it. It's fairly straightforward to get to. I couldn't think what else it could be. If the elements were heating up successfully, then something had to be stopping it heating up.

Hi all, we have a Zanussi ZDC47100W condensing tumble dryer. It was made in 2008, used very little and given to us in 2017. We’ve used it since with no problems – cleaned the filter after every dry, kept the condenser clean as per the instructions, etc. It’s barely used in the Summer, but...

My dirty old diesel will do over 800 mile to the tank. Happy to be 'allowed' to continue driving it without being penalised (well...beyond the artificial fuel prices, car tax, etc.) If the car is maintained and road safe, then it should be allowed to continue being used. The move to electric...

I would just do it! We had a driveway when we moved in, but only for one car, so we removed a wall and extended its width across the front of the house. We left a border down the side so there was still greenery. Wall down, dropped kerb extended. The local council's website at the time (the...

It was just funny because I know them so well, and I imagined certain characters there reacting to the thought of being led by the French! I genuinely don't know what French opinion on Frexit is like. Having such dominance in the bloc (along with Germany) probably plays a large part in public...

Knowing both those places very well and being fairly local to me, I know the locals there are majority pro-Brexit. They won't be led the way of the French I can promise you that :LOL: If Le Pen gets into power, then she'll push for it, but in reality I doubt those above her would allow France...

Best get onto the open heart surgery vids then!

I'm a BA and Masters graduate, but wish I'd gone back and learnt a trade with my hands! My Dad trained as a plumber in the 1960s and some of the joins he can do with lead (can't remember the name, and of course totally irrelevant today) are really quite skilled. Although he became French...

Agreed! Did the timing belt, camshaft and seal, water pump and starter motor on mine this year, all on the driveway. Cost me £180 and a garage wanted £800 something.

In truth, I find driving into cities a pain and always use the train or bus, so hopefully that counts. I think the real issue is car addiction. There was a recent spate of roadworks and people were moaning on FB about how long it was taking them to get to work -- a high number were commuting...

I'll still stick with my old French, diesel tractor. Okay it's £300+ a year in tax, but it'll do 800 mile+ to a tank and requires so few consumable materials to keep going. Nobody should be penalised for maintaining an older car, so long as it is safe and roadworthy.

Smells like the bitterness of not getting onto a plumbing course to me, old duffer.

Oh come on... a male parent has for eons been known as a father, a female parent a mother. I bottle fed my son, but it didn't make me a mother, it made me a father doing my bit! I'd still be a father if my wife left me. Is the use of standard English this "outdated model" you refer to? If the...

Christ. Needs a 2023 update to include men who have converted to woman, but who don't have a cervix but want to feel 'inclusive' by going through the screening process.

No they don't have one -- their demand is to be made to feel more inclusive by going through a screening test. I don't know how representative it is of that 'community'. Agree there are stupid people all over!

Really really! It came from a house-bound patient my wife's surgery have on their books (she's a district nurse). Don't know the man/woman but that's what she's complained about to the trust.

There are calls from male transgenders (now female) to be invited to cervical screening tests. Some have said the NHS is not being inclusive by recognising a need for transgender men to have their cervix checked...
