Im about to change my bath. Checked the size and the current bath is 1680 ish installed in a very small bathroom (1690 x 1500!). Phoned up a bathroom place and they said I could buy a 1700mm and cut it down. Now I have never heard of this and am very doubtful. If I cut the bath by 15mm it will...

Thought I would ask the pros on here! I have just installed 6 nr new 4 panel doors and im trying to decide what height to put the handle? Should it be in the middle of the cross bar (which is much lower than the original flush doors) or the same height as existing which is about 200mm up from...

Thanks for your reply Richard and rough. I was asking for honest opinions and that's what I got. I can't afford a plasterer right now so I guess I will have to filler some more and it will get plastered when I can afford it. Thanks.

The walls in my house are a bit rough. The plaster is good but they have various marks, chips, old paint flakes that have been painted over, bad screw hole repairs and loads of nails! Generally the plaster is good with no loose sections I can find. I have filled loads of little holes but it...

Thanks Picasso, Ill give that a bash tomorrow!

I am attempting to change my old Honeywell T6360B Thermostat with a Horstmann HRT3 The Honeywell has an earth and three wires mounted on terminals: 1 = Red 2 = Blue 3 = Yellow And the cover is marked 1 L 2 N 3 N 4 not used My new Horstmann is marked 4 N 3 Load 2 Do not...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but it is mine! Got a SDS + drill today with chisel only function. Im a little concerned as I have an asbestos water tank in my loft (redundant), is there any chance this shelf may contain asbestos too?

Sorry about the double post. So might be an idea to get a good one first and by another for chasing at a later date?? Does that one that was recommended above sound ok? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/products.jsp?id=51145&ts=10480

That one looks ok but it doesnt seem to have three functions like most others? I will be relocating switches so will be chasing wires, the chisel function will be handy

Thats very true but I do enjoy having the right tools for the job. My hammer drill isnt exactly a gem (a JCB) so one that could replace that aswell would be good. My folks have offered to buy one as a bday present so it isnt actually costing my anything.

I have moved into a flat with solid internal partitions. My hammer drill really isnt cutting the mustard and I have a large larder shelf to remove. So im in the market for an SDS Drill but have never used one before let alone purchased one. I dont want to buy one thats rubbish! Can you...

I have a 2L Hdi 306 (same engine) and a lot of people remove the EGR completely. I will be doing that and removing the cat to get me about 5 more bhp and increase mpg. Mines a 51 plate so this may be different on later ones. you can clean them but its only a short term fix. If you...

Does anyone know if there are there any plans to extend it?

Im no expert but afaik the water companys dont turn down the pressure in winter. The reason your hot comes out slower in the winter is the boiler is having to raise the temperature from a colder starting temperature to reach the desired temperature

Can anyone suggest a local company and how much its likely to cost if it is the solenoid?

the plug to the solenoid has three wires, one is an earth but can someone tell me what the others should be so I can test them to check Btw I would ok to do this, ie by law?

Any idea of what this should cost to be diagnosed and if necessary replaced? Anyone local to Colchester, Essex that is competant and registered would like to come around?

It heats both water and rads, neither have any heat tonight. Programmer is Honeywell ST1000 (it is an old mechanical one) Gas4you, is an RGI a registered gas installer?

Ok - Gas ok as I still have a pilot Central heating pump working when I use the wall controls so hopefully not them I have turned off the pilot and relighted it ok So, The plug from the ignitor unit is plugged in ok. If I unplug it it makes no difference. I guessing either the unit...

Sorry I thought it was a Baxi but it is a Glow-worm 45/2 BBU :oops:
