Well steel and sleepers is a job most people can tackle. That wall will have a foundation that will need breaking to get the steels in so not hassle free.

Its been a few years but if I remember correctly we did it like this. Cut out about 20mm with an angle grinder with a stone grinding blade. Wash out with a hose Building sand but do a small area and leave it a while to see if you like it. I'd use a round jointing iron. Have it not too wet so it...

I would go deeper with the hardcore. And compact the hardcore.

The "easiest way" would depend on the person doing it's skills. I assume you want something a DIYer can do. I worked on a landscaping job once where the owner did it with steels and sleepers and it went ok. I think he took his eye off the spirit level on 1 or 2 of the steels and it set a little...

I take it a hacksaw will cut aluminium?

I'd love to but the stores are 10 miles away, the buses here are **** and I need the car soon.

Hope so, mind you it was a Mann one that broke. I'm just contenplating taking a hacksaw to the one stuck on the plug and using one of my 200 chinese ones or putting the old one back on. Head says one thing heart says another.

Its Bosch. They didnt have Mann.

Well there was enough sticking up to get pliers on. I put one of the prongs inside the tube, as i thought it less likely to break that way. I think they would have all worked as long as there was enough to get on to.

Thanks fellas, got it out. I wont say whos advice I took as the other two will get jealous :) Also you might remember I did a thread about sump nut washers. Ive just seen why I left the old one on last time. The washer wont come off the thread. I''l have to cut it somehow. Its a silver metal...

Hello, I finally got round to changing the oil and had to stop half way through. After taking the old filter out I realised the stalk/pin bit wasn't on the filter. I looked in the housing and it's stuck there. I tried a gentle pull but hand but no luck. I'm not sure when it broke as the big...

Vw Passat TDI 2.0 2008 Is it ok to drive until it's fixed? And any ideas where I can buy one? Thanks fellas

Hello, I've just noticed a tapping/ticking sound from the engine. I'll add a picture as I've found where is coming from. There's a little round cap with made in USA on it and the noise stops of you just put a finger on it. Does anyone know what the thing is or any suggestions what can be done...

Thought I'd do an update. As there was a little niggle. When I went to put the housing top on it wouldn't go down fully. There was a quarter inch gap and it wouldn't budge. So I took the filter out and it still wouldn't close. Then I put the old o ring back on and it went down easy. I think the...

Thanks, yes got the mann filter, had to get bosch for the oil though.

That sounds more realistic. I'm wondering now if theres a chance the soffits could be asbestos with a thin upvc cover. The previous owners didnt like spending money.

Thats the video yes. From looking at various videos it seems the older the vw the less they recomend bleeding. Ill probably have a go on Sunday an hope for the best. There is a description in the manual about bleeding the system but you need to know if its common rail or PD. And I dont know...

Its for an extension and a wall down and making a couple of windows larger.

I've lifted the upstairs floorboards to see what the ceilings are made of. Half of them have British Gypsum Gyproc printed on them the others have silverbacked foil. Unless asbestos came with silverback I cant think of anything in the house suspicious. Anyone know if I can ignore this part of...
