I've a Classixx washing machine. Of late, at the end of the washing cycle there's been water still in the conditioner compartment of the drawer - about 3 quarters full. Note the conditioner has been flushed out - it is just water remaining. Now, if I top up the water left in the drawer it...

Thank you old buffer a straight and non pretentious answer at last.

Oh dear have I touched a raw nerve - why are you people being so condescending ? What's wrong with just answering my question ?

Why ? Because I'm curious. I've no intention of actually doing anything - I just like to know such things. So is it a state secret ?

Thanks for your reply snes, tho' it misses my point - I was after understanding how such a thing is done

My boiler which is in the kitchen on the ground floor is being replaced. The replacement is a combi in the bathroom on the first floor with the flue out the back wall. Immediately below the bathroom is a conservatory. This prevents access to the new flue from the outside. How to...

Thought you'd all be on tenterhooks as to the outcome..... Well, would you believe it - today when I turned on my dishwasher both lights 4 & 5 were flashing - I pressed the 'reset/program' button and both lights went OUT !! and my originally preset program light came on. So it seems I'm back in...

Help please, have just returned from a week away and attempted to start my dishwasher. However the lights in position 4 & 5 (under the word 'end') are flashing. The machine won't start. Both these lights flashing is NOT covered in the washer's User Instructions. I've pressed the 'reset' button...

One door of a cupboard is warped along its length. The top and hinge side fit perfectly but the side opposite the hinge is bowed out such that the non hinge side progressively bends away from its matching partner door and bottom of the door sticks out by about an inch. The door is of the ledger...

Thanks Burnerman Its done 44000 miles - it's 2007 reg year.

I've a Peugeot 207 Urban. From time to time when starting the engine will turn over as if there's no life in the battery. Give it a second go and it will spin over and start normally. This is an intermittent problem and most confusing as to why the two behaviours. Could this be just dirty or...

Hi, I have wooden french windows from my lounge to the garden. Currently the "fixed" door has upper and lower vertical bolts; the "through" door has a rebated 2 lever sashlock only. I think I need to upgrade my sashlock at the very least. However I cannot find on the internet any 5 lever rebated...

Have just fitted a Fluid Master inlet valve unit and all good now.

I've two toilets on the first floor of my house. One of them recently developed a "clunking" sound as the fill valve shut off. I've taken the fill valve apart and cleaned it (it wasn't dirty). Now as the fill valve shuts off it does so with a squeal/squeek. What am I missing ? All advice...

I've a 2010 Fiesta 1.6 TDI with a small leak from the coolant header tank. I do not trust "sealants" and wish to replace this tank. I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to go about this. Thanks

She who must be dismayed has decreed that our gilt mirror frame should be painted over. First, I need to clean and degrease it. It has some ornate bits so rather than use sandpaper I 'm thinking of using sugar soap. Is this OK ? Second, not trusting my brush technique I'm thinking of using...

My daughter has moved into a flat where the bathroom is on the top floor. The tap-end of the bath is under a sloping ceiling. There's about 2' 6" between the bath rim and the beginning of the slope. I'm trying to find ideas/solutions to fitting a shower curtain or screen at this end of the bath...

I rather like the look of the Audi TT Coupe and am seeking to buy one. Probably a 2008/9 model. But I don't know the car and its foibles. What I'm after is any advice as to what specifically to look out for when appraising one of these cars. All advice gratefully received. Ta Bazza

Not sure what section this should be in - but here goes... Because of the configuration of my daughter's flat, the best place for her TV is above a radiator - plug points and aerial point nearby. The radiator is an electric storage heater type. What I'm thinking is building a 'bookcase' type...

We currently have carpet in our bathroom and wish to replace this with vinyl flooring. Under the carpet we have a mixture of floorboards and chipboard floor panels - all quite level. I'm OK with DIY but have never tackled a job like this. I intend to leave the toilet & pedestal in place and...
