I've done a search but nothing worthwhile on record. How would one go about installing a corner bath tub: there are no apparent fixing points below the rim and one fixing wall is block and the other fixing wall is studding and board. Also the bath panel is extremely difficult to slide in...

Philips automatic Compact Combi fridge freezer: a 1990's model. the freezer section keeps iceing up no matter how often its defreezed and cleaned out. Suggestions please?

doitall, thank you for your informative reply. However, further Q.'s: i'm aware of a couple of instances where the gas co. didn't dig the road up to change the meter position. How did they do that? The last meter in steel is the wxposed bit i suppose?

This gets more bizarre.Freeze gas, use a power tool in a gas cloud, unless thats meant to be a risky joke. Mandate, after cutting the metal pipe how did the fitter manage to thread the in-situ pipe (in a manageable time) to fit a new connection/valve? I'm still interested in the Q. is it Regs...

Would a freezing outfit feeze mains pressure?

As a matter of interest, how do the gas company manage to shut off the gas when there appears to be no "shut-off" below the gas meter? I've noticed on more modern gas supplies that there is a tee with a cap and, i presume, a valve inside, just as the supply pipe enters a property. But what...

Volks Lupo X reg. the service message/warning keeps coming on when it is not applicable. Is there any way of switching this annoying message off?

kev, where exactly would you locate the check valves? would you install check valves routinely on a shower installation or only on certain kinds of shower installations? are there any other places in a plumbing system that you would install check valves? MOD split from...

what happens when central/remote locking meets a flat battery? How does one get in the vehicle?

Paul, thanks for the information. Your e-mail isn't in your profile and i'd like to contact you but i can't. We both live in the same area, by the way.

JPL, intresting. Would you like to talk a little more about your project. Q1. what depth were your foundations? Q2. what material did you use for foundations? Q3. what size cavity did you have and was it insulated. Or did you use insulated block? Q4. How are you going to do the roof...
