I would be very grateful for help diagnosing a fault with my diesel Saab 9-3, 1.9 TiD (150 bhp), 57 reg, 55k miles. It has been running great (good mpg etc), but when I started it yesterday it run rough, it was barely turning over (like a flooded carburettor or missing spark plug on petrol)...

Thanks. After your reply, starting searching for thresholds instead of edging. Found wooden threshold at Cotswold Thresholds, http://www.cotswold-thresholds.co.uk/ . Looks better than architrave.

Thanks for the reply. Do you also know if long (>2.1 m) edging bars can be sourced? The type used for doors that normal come in 0.9 m.

Sorry don't know, it was by father who fixed when he was visiting.

Got new microwave in end.

Thanks for the advice. I went through the wall!

It was a loose connection. Sorry for not thanking you sooner ....

How do you edge a carpet to sanded floor boards? The wall between our dining room and lounge has been knocked through, and I want to carpet only the lounge side: too many drafts for my liking. The width of the opening between the two rooms is 2.1 m. I was thinking of nailing down chamfered...

It was indeed. Cleaned myself and got another three years out of it. British Gas have just been round to clean. Have inserted a MagnaClean so hoping this will help.

Brushes in motor had worn out. A simple fix done by local outfit. Hopefully machine will run for another 18 years!

Been inside machine. Belt is okay and motor rotates freely. Hope this helps diagnosis ........

Any advice appreciated. Machine failed to complete wash cycle. So tried to put onto spin cycle before unloading and investigating. Would not start spin cycle. Heard what I think is drainage pumps kicking in, but drum does not rotate. Fault indicator lights are high water level (i.e. what...

Thanks zipper, but is it something you get fixed or just throw away and start with a new one.

Microwave still works, but when you start a programme in makes a load thunk sound. Any ideas? Is it the magnatron (or whatever it is called) on the way out? Thanks in advance for any replies. Scare the heck out of my wife and daughter and the dog is too scared to come into the kitchen.

It was the plate heat exchanger. Now fitted a magnet and it's picking up all sorts of crap.

The 'life and strife' tells me that the indicators don't always work and sometimes, when the headlights are on, the mainbeam flashes on and off. Every time I tried this weekend, could not replicate the fault. But to be fair, I had started by pushing in all the fuses. Indicators and headlight...

Normally get spark by depressing dials. No longer sparking and no noise - all four dials. Possible fixes would be appreciated.

Dear All, The above machine has given great service, but a couple of weeks ago I had to replace the magnetic value on cold water delivery. It would not stop filling. Everything seemed okay, but this week the machine has started to get ‘noisy’ when pumping out water from drum. The noise...

I have been reading through the posts on shower extractor fans and I have worked out that I probably need to vent through the roof via the loft space. My plan is to exit the roof, which is pitched and tiled, using a 4-inch solid duct that will pass vertically through an angled sealing cone...

It was indeed. Removed, washed with acid (and then alkali 'cause I couldn't remember my chemistry), a few whacks with a rubber mallet, and then a pressure wash. It remove enough 'coal' to fuel a power station! Check out JustAnswer. I reckon you could earn some beer money. I have cancelled...
