    zanussi dishwasher DW 927

    Probably rinse aid residue - may be overdosing. Try turning the doseage down.

    dishwasher foam

    Buckets of cold water ! Seriously, you need to rinse out the machine with cold water - also rinse out spray arms etc. Then drain machine - start a prog - wait till initial pump out stops,and before fill starts, stop the programme then rinse it out again! Then run a cold programme with no...

    Plumbing in dishwasher - leaking joins/connections

    As a quick fix, wrap some waterproof tape around the spigot of the outlet to increase the diameter - then fit the hose over the tape and do up the jubilee clip - that should keep it leak free!

    Fabric cond filling up with water??

    Sort of! Wouldn't normally expect the compartment to remain full of water though - probably needs a quick clean of the siphon tube to sort the problem fully. Expect the black goo is breeding somewhere!!

    Car electrified to shock vandals

    You'd probably be in trouble for using "excessive force" or something like that. Which I suppose is reasonable enough, bearing in mind pepper spray would (I think)be assault with an offensive (illegal)weapon on an alleged burglar who had "merely" broken and entered. Unless you argued that you...

    part p

    Get it in writing from the Buliding Inspector - then, even if the Inspector is wrong, it wouldn't matter, because that would be the advise/opinion of the Inspector who should be the final arbiter on such matters anyway!

    Zanussi Dishwasher DWS939 Odour on dishes

    It could also be that the machine is overdosing with rinse aid - a residue will then get left on the items . Try reducing the doseage setting to see if that sorts the problem.

    dirty dishes on top rack of dishwasher

    Make sure the top basket is pushed right back onto the connection lug at the back of the machine - sometimes the loaded baskets creep forward off the connection.

    Completion Certificate...help?

    Actually you'd probably have quite a case against your solicitor - they have failed to check all documentation etc for the house and that all works etc are "legal" - might be worth contacting someone like the Law Society, Citizens Advice etc to see if they can help - it would certainly be worth...

    Part P regs???

    BC will probably subcontract the Electrical Test/Compliance part - that's what my local department is doing - and hence why not getting a Part P sparky works out more expensive (if one wants to comply to the letter of the Law/Regulation/Reccommendations/Not take any chances!) When I checked it...

    unclean dishes

    A dishwasher will use around 15 litres to water to wash, rinse and dry 12 full place settings of crockery, cutlery,glasses etc. If you can wash/rinse and dry that lot PROPERLY in 1 bowl of HOT water (by which I mean 7.5 l, at least 55°C) in the 10 mins you reckon it takes then you must be the...

    unclean dishes

    Actaully, you can, by using a dishwasher! Normally the dishes come out cleaner, more hygenically, using less water and energy when washed in a dishwasher than washing by hand! And when factoring in time spent washing up etc ther's no contest - a dishwasher wins hands down (not in the bowl!)...

    Painting a wooden fence

    Cheers for that - looks like it could be just the stuff I need. Now all I need is to find someone who stocks it :wink:

    Painting a wooden fence

    I have a wooden fence that I'd like to paint - as it's a dark corner of the garden I'd like to use a lighter colour to brighten it up. In the past the panels have been treated with Shed and Fence type stuff in Red Cedar, but I'd like something like a cream/pale yellow to help wth brightening up...

    Where do we go from here?

    AIUI - somone could be eg N***C registered - but not as Domestic Installer - so wouldn't be qualified to self certify partP? (but odf course they wouldn't be doing Domestic work would they......). Plus it's just another layer of confusion for the householder - I may be wrong - but if I am...

    Where do we go from here?

    It all rather depend on the "teeth" of the body the installer is registered with I guess. If work is shoddy then complain in the first instance to the firm and then to the registering body. Who should then do something about it! (or just keep taking the fees!) But I agree with the basic point...

    Cable/Conduit

    Still, at least those nice thick cables in the loft obviate the need for a decent depth of thermal insulation! And the fascias look a bit ropey too!

    extra 13a outlet

    I bow down to your greater knowledge - thanks for the clarification. (But as an aside, would a black sheathed cable heat up to a greater extent and therefore have a lower current carrying capability than an equivalent white cable?) PS - not trying to be deliberately obtuse - just...
