    car tax

    Why do you need the logbook? Surely the renewal notice exempts you of the need to show it? You just take your certificate of insurance, MOT, and the RN and Bob's yer uncle. Has something changed that we've not been told about? :(

    Necessary to add inhibitor to CH system with softened water?

    My folks have got a small leak on one of their radiators - a low level type in the conservatory. The system is sealed, powered by a Vokera Linea 28 boiler. I am intending to drain down the system, remove the rad, take out the thermostatic valve and re fix it with a few layers of PTFE, refit and...

    Plumber charges - does this sound reasonable?

    When you provide your customer with your estimate could you not specify that the removal of the old bathroom suite is down to them and can me arranged with their local council? Most councils provide a collection service starting at about £15. Even if it were as much as PDV's £40 it would save...

    Anyone able to recommend Erbauer power tools?...

    There's an Erbauer 18v drill + impact driver on Screwfix. Anyone know whether these are any good or not? Doesn't seem to be a make that's widely available? Are there a good backup of spares or add-ons?

    Pipe Freezing Kits

    Sorry guys for being a bit late back to the screen. SparkyTris: Don’t quite see what you are getting at when you say," All you need to do is get a tee in the pipe, so you could have a check-valve-and Tee all fabricated ready to go!". What would the check-valve be used for? There is already a...
