Hi folks, I need to fix a 3mm cable to an external wall. It's to support a climbing plant. I tried google but it always came up with telephone, electrical etc cables. I'm talking about a straight support cable. I suppose a hoop with a thread to screw it into a wall plug. Does it have...

:D I haven't been up on the roof, but I can see where there the tiles have come from. There is a light grey material under them rather than a gaping hole, that's gotta be good news hasn't it? Probably felt I guess. I can get inside the roof so I could check things there if that's any...

Great thanks. And patronising tone at no extra cost? A bargain! :wink: But honestly thanks, I realise I'm ignorant on the subject, I didn't even know there was a dedicated profession for roofs. I also thought that calling out someone to fix 2 tiles might be overkill. I mean it has to...

Hi folks, We have lived in our house for 5 years. When we moved in the roof tiles looked in pretty good shape and fairly new, they still do. But today 2 fell from the roof. I've no idea if this is a problem or cause leaks or not. Should I get someone to look at it or replace them or are...

Great stuff! Thanks. I had no idea it only flowers on new groth, that would explain it. I have never cut it back at all as I thought I'd leave it to cover the fence, but I guess I should cut back as you mentioned and allow new growth. Thanks

Hi folks, We have Jasmine growing in a large pot on the garden fence near the back side of the house. The back of the house faces NE and the jasmine SE so it only gets a touch on sun in the morning (from dawn till about 11am in high summer). The first 2 years it had flowers and kept...

OK thx. I'll look into that :)

Any idea on where to find the PCB and element? Is it through the bottom of the machine? Thanks

Also there's a strong chance that whatever blew tripped the house fuse box (is that what it's called?) one night, the breaker for the house sockets had tripped one morning.

Hi there, Thanks for the response. The PNC number is 911 232 740 00 Cheers

Hi folks, I have a AEG 60860. It's about 5 years old. It has just stopped drying the dishing after the wash. It also seems like it's no longer heating the water as it's stone cold now. Any ideas what it might be? Is it worth paying for someone to fix or could I replace a component myself...

Thanks guys. I thought it might be compacted. I did put in some stepping stones a few years back, but we don't actually use it that much (mostly just stay on the decking near the house) I will check out that book. Thanks again :)

Hi folks, We moved to our house 6 years ago. The garden was completely overgrown, I cleared it and put rolls of turf down. It was great for a year, but every year it gets a little worse. I reseed it each year, which helps but it's still not thick. It's a NE facing garden so I guess that...

Thanks guys. Well, I've just found out my 100W equivelent is actually 72W so not as low as I'd hoped. But I have now found a more expensive 20W (equivelent 100W) so I've bought that. It is supposed to be dimmable. fingers crossed. Thanks anyway :)

Hi folks, My wife and son just bought a new lamp shade for his room, it has a 60W max. I thought I'd have to buy a new 60W equivelent energy saving dimmable to replace his 100W equivelent energy saving dimmable. But it dawned on me it's a heat thing isn't it? I mean his bulb isn't 100W...

Well, I've the bought Beko. I found it slightly cheaper elsewhere and Comet couldn't deliver till 6th October. We're getting it on Mon morning so we won't even have to go to the laundrette. Which we were told was £11 :shock: spent it on a faster deivery instead :) Thanks for all your...

Oh, and thanks tonto once again. I was looking at that machine. It's very cheap and basic, probably noisey too, but the reviews seem good for the price. Cheers

Oh yes, it has to be silver. A white one would look ridiculous next to a silver dishwasher and fridge. I'm afraid aesthetics are important in the kitchen. :)

Hi folks, Since my old washer dryer has broken and seems to be un-repairable I'm looking for some advice on a new one. Due to money I'm going to buy a cheap washer and forget the dryer. It needs to be silver, standard size and as cheap as possible. 1) Does anyone have any...

ok, thanks for all your help tonto
