Side note, I'm using how the lights were wired up previously as a reference here, as all the wires are actually just black.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've given this mess a jolly tidy up with choc blocks and insulation tape around just to be sure. Can I double check my decuction skills, I'm not sure it really matters in terms of functionality but for my own sake of understanding I'd like to ask. Here's what...

I do agree Mr Husky, thats why for now I wanted to have a second opinion from here but yea from the looks of this we could have some bodged jobs about the place.

Thanks John :)

Please can I double check the alterations I've made to fix this dripping isolation valve... I bought a stop end, but used the old olive and the old nut (I think stainless steel) which was holding the isolation valve on (again stainless steel). I used the old olive as I didn't see any need to...

The two different pictures are for two different light fittings, but yea both pictures are just normal light fittings with three bulbs on them, for some reason there are two groups of wires for one light, and three groups of wires for the other, not really sure what's going on there. I really...

Hey guys, I'm replacing my ceiling light fittings and it looks like a bit of a nightmare so I'm hoping to tidy it up a bit with your help. Can you check my understanding of what's going on here please and tell me if I'm wrong. Here's the scarey thing, our old celing fittings are metal and they...

For what it's worth, took it to a local garage and for £170 I have a car that is once again a pleasure to drive :) As it turns out the tracking was 6mm toed out too!

Hey Echo. We've recently moved into this house and it's been doing this since we've moved. The shower looks like it could be maybe a year or so old.

Thanks for your help on this one John but I think I'll let the local garage take care of this one and suck up the labour charges in all honesty :)

Just had a look under the oil cap of my car (Astra mk4) and it's suffering identical symptoms. Either both our cars are buggered or it's possibly a local humidity thing or we possibly don't drive them up to temperature often enough. If I may ask the question, I had an oil change about a month...

Hey John thanks for getting back to me. It does say 'service' near the milometer, not sure if that's triggerd by clocking 10k miles or a fault but there's no engine check light or warnings otherwise. It has had a service, exhaust/cat, lambda sensor, cam belt/water pump within a year so fingers...

Hey everyone, my girlfriend has been complaining of her beetle (2000 2.0) not driving very well. The clutch is worn down and I've not experianced anything off with it so I basically told her it's her driving (eek). However... Milky substance under the oil cap and strange deposits on the dip...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone might help with our shower, instantly going cold and lighting up low pressure the very instant another tap is used. The actual shower pressure doesn't change that much at all when another tap is in use. Is there anything we can do about this? The fact...

I think you're on to something here, there is yea.

Cheers John, I will need to research a bit more I feel. The garage I took it to didn't say anything other than advising a new parts. On brief visual inspection there doesn't seem to be any damage but holding it and giving it a firm wiggle reveals it's very slightly loose. Wouldn't have thought...

Hey everyone, my Astra Mk 4 is a glorious beast however, I've recently been adviced for a new ns anti roll bar and fs strut, might be easier replacing the coil too while I'm at it? Anyway my questions... Is this a job I should invest in some axel stands, dig out my tools and do it myself or is...

Hey everyone, first time poster here thought I'd try out this website as we're just moved into a new house and need a couple of bits queried :) So under one of our kitchen cupboards we have this (attached picture) going on. The isolation valvue is very slowly dropping water and the cupboard...
