This may be a silly suggestion but is it practical to add a compression Y connection to the shutoff valve denoted by the red arrow then connect the plastic Y connector to one outlet and then connect a flexi to the other outlet where it would go on to fed the outside tap? Sounds daft even...

Hey guys and girls! Competent DIY'er looking for professional advice on how I could take a feed for an outside tap from all this.... ...or looking to find out how this installation can be changed to accommodate another outlet? Any help appreciated as always. Thanks **EDIT** Here is a...

Just a we update on my issue: I've managed to resolve the issue myself. The squeak was being caused by the belt rubbing against the back panel intermittently. This was due to the belt being installed on the motor cog grooves too far rearward which caused it to rub against the back panel...

I've narrowed it down to where the noise is coming from now... http://v9.tinypic.com/player.swf?file=1568hlh&s=9" It's coming from the back of the drum and I can only make it happen if the machine is running. If I power it off and shake the brick it doesn't occur. Is there a shaft that runs...

Hey guys, Machine just had new bearings and shocks fitted and it now makes this squeaking noise as it goes into and out of a spin. (The engineer replaced the shocks thinking this was what was causing the squeak.) It seems to be intermittent with no consistency to it. I believed it to a...

Thanks for detailed response! That has given me a much clearer picture of how all this whole thing operates.

Then that has confirmed what the engineer said also. Thanks for your reply.

I'm living in a new build (2014) and I've used the immersion heater once and not since as it seemed to take forever to heat the water. So I just use the 1hr heating option on the oil heating clock. But it's got me curious again so I tried the other day when the water was cold and after an hour...

I'm gonna give this a try this week on the next good day and I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers mate.

PS: I just replaced the back nuts for the taps with brass ones and all is good.

Thanks mate. Landlord sent a plumber and he got into the attic and fixed "something". I believe it was the cold water storage float. Thanks for all your help and to all the others on thread too for their input. Both issues now resolved.

Thanks mate. So what's the procedure then? Drop of thinners followed immediately by soap?

Very good observation mate. From what she told me I just surmised it was coming from the toilet overflow as I had a similar problem in the past. Turns out it's coming from the attic. Won't know anymore for a day or so as she said landlord has arranged for a plumber to call but that said this...

So don't use petrol then?

Hi, thanks for your reply. How can i check the float os set right?

Thanks mate. I'm assuming it keeps dripping because there is a steady light stream of water flowing out of the overflow onto the driveway. Can you link me to an appropriate replacement unit should it need replaced?

Hey mate thanks for your reply, Have you tried using it on oil stains on asphalt?

Hey Alan, Is that the hand cleaner stuff? Have you tried it on asphalt oil stains? Thanks mate

Hey guys, Two small household issues that I hope you can help me with. Bathroom basin taps in a friends house keep loosening even when tightened. She just sent me this picture of the backnut. I'd asked her to loosen the backnut so I could see if there was a washer between it and the...

Hey guys, wasn't sure where to post this question so if it's in the wrong section I apologise in advance. Anyone any idea on how I can remove these oil stains? You can see the larger, dried looking patch where I used everything from washing powder, to coca cola, to degreaser and still...
