Hi guys we have an oven bought in 2005. It seems to be heating up but not to full temperature. I'm not sure what the model number is. Here is some of the info from the manual: Whirlpool/IKEA Type FCSM6 Mod 000 947 44 OBI B10/S I've googled these with varying results. Other models...

Hi folks, we have vertical overlapping section of terracotta tiles (i think) on the front of the house under the 1st floor's bay window. These look similar to roof tiles, they overlap vertically and so that the row above is offset by half a tile's width. They are fixed by what look like...

cool thx. Will buy a new one :)

Hi folks, We have a 2 story house. The kitchen is on the ground floor, a smoke alarm is through an always open doorway in the hall. There is also another smoke alarm at the top of the stairs. The downstairs one is about 18 months old and seems to have got more sensitive to slight smoke...

Thanks for that. Makes sense. I dug in sand to help the lawn and it really helped. I think it was a drainage and compacted issue there too. Cheers.

Great thanks :)

Ah yes, I'd love a new shower, new bathroom in fact, but stuck with it for now :( So Andy, the link you sent: Is that for more components than pictured? Those pictured are different bits aren't they? Do I need to buy a whole set? I have tried searching using aqualisa and blanking plug but...

Thanks guys So it's not just a part I can get from B&Q then?

Hi, I have removed it: So I guess it was split, it was so clean a break I didn't realise the top had the thread :) It has a hole, but the thing it came from is sealed at this point. I guess water can come from a circular gap around the solid center? And this thing seals the gap...

There's nothing to tighten. I can't find a thread. It's like kind of hinged, joined at the back so you can push it up and it sits comfortably but when you take your hand away it flops back down again. So split maybe? Should I just try to remove it and see what's happened? What's it...

Hi folks, I have a bit in the garden that gets good light but most plants including rosemary and hydrangeas don't do very well. The rosemary is sparse and pale and the hydrangea has stopped flowering. I wondered if it was poor soil or perhaps the plants are having to compete too much with...

Hi folks, I'm a complete layman so bear with me if I'm spelling this all out too much. We have a leak somewhere in our shower, water has started to come though the ceiling and it happened suddenly. I looked under the shower and turned it on and I could see water coming from the back...

Hi folks, We have the error code .30 on this appliance. Apparently this is the anti flood system. Is there anything I can do, or should I get someone out to fix it? Cheers

cool thx :)

Hi folks I just have one switch, 1 light. Do I need a master switch or will a slave do? It's a dimmer but I guess that makes no difference. Cheers

that's great. Thx very much for all your help.

And also if I use with a 20W CFL is that the only wattage or is it lower when it's dimmed? Cheers

Is there any other restrictions except wattage range? Is a slave switch ok to use if I use it in isolation with just one light? Do I need trailing edge or anything?? I ask as many switches descriptions do not mention CFL compatibility. Cheers

Thanks. This all makes sense now. It's just amazing that dimmer switch packaging (I looked at about 6 different ones in B&Q) doesn't mention the wattage range. Or that dimmable bulbs don't mention the restriction. I guess it hasn't caught up with the change from incandescent yet. I did...

:) I know. I was going to be more cutting about their comments. There was a longer story attached to the advice they gave me but after getting home and goggle-ing the question instead I took pity on them. Especially when I have no idea what's going on either. But anyway, can anyone help with...
