Hi, Yep, its certainly in that region. The new part of the external wall extension was to be done in reclaimed brick, but then obviously wanting it all to match, the decision was made to re-do the external brick by the window (which was the old back door) in the same brick. It then became...

Hi all, Managed to get some photos of the damp. The links below should get you to them. I've put them on photobucket and you can access the other pics from there. http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii266/dustyroads_01/?action=view&current=IMG_1682.jpg" target="_blank"><img...

No spurs and hat but he does use a battered old white workhorse called Transit! :D He's a genuine fella who's honest when he says he's no expert in damp - can't knock him for that. I'll post some pics on as soon as i can. JohnD - the roof isn't flat, its about 22 degress. The damp...

Bit of a curious problem here.... I've just had a single storey extension built adjoining to my galley kitchen, thus opening the area into a family room (if you can visualise that). Where the back door was at the end of the kitchen has now been replaced with a window, with the space where the...

Thanks for your replies guys. Had the man that can round today and he tapped the 'EDF' processor with his technical screwdriver handle (similar to 'the persuader' aka the hammer) and it temporarily regained picture. Like you say JonB, he said it was a common fault with this model and has taken...

Volvo v40 t4 turbo, petrol, y reg 2001, 83k Runs fine normally, but on the m/way at 80ish if you put your foot to the floor it starts to stutter, as if the plugs aren't firing (or how i would imagine it feels like!) Anybody any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Damn telly gone on the blink.... I've got a Toshiba ZP38 32in telly, only 3 years old. Switched on this morning to be presented with sound but no watchable picture. Bottom third of screen is just black, with top two thirds just a mix of colours and white (a bit like interference) - no...

Hi All, Firstly, new in these here parts.....so drinks are on me! Secondly, can anyone tell me if there are any regs regarding minimum distances that a window can be from an oven hob? Tomorrow :shock: I am having various parts of the kitchen wall bricked up as part of an extension and am...

I am still re-fitting my bathroom, but making slow and steady progress. I have now got to the tileing and am wondering whether convention is that the wall tiling is done first with the plywood and floor tile butted up to the wall tile or floor tileing first and wall tiles resting on top. :? I...

Got an irritating problem with my WM65 washing machine that hopefully someone can help with :) The fabric conditioner section of the powder drawer has started retaining water up to the max fill level after the wash has finished. Though not an earth shattering problem, it means we have to take...

Got past the rub down stage unfortunately, now has a hole the size of small boulder going through it :( but thanks for the suggestion. I'll approach a bodyshop garage and see how much they'll charge for welding one on if I supply the part and take the bumper off. Cheers

Quick scan on t'internet seems that external RF modulators are around £20, anything i should be particularly looking for? Can you recommend one Saxton? Cheers Dustyy

'tis likely that i will want to record on the VCR and watch Freeview at the same time so I will look into the splitter option. :) Just to clarify, :? , is it just the freeview signal that needs the rf modulator bit, as i can receive the analogue channels on the kitchen tv ok from the...

Thanks for your replies people. Gosh and darn it Saxton, you're right it is a brilliant box, but why oh why did they not but in an RF modulator :? Couldn't add that much to production costs surely. Cheers for suggested fix though, i will try jtaunton's tip first (as its a poss free fix, and...

Wa-hooo, the fiesta lives on for another 12 months!! Passed the emissions with flying colours! :P

Hi Saxton, The freeview box is the Sony VTX-D800U. I have partly carried out the suggestions from other comments, but not had chance to disconnect the scart leads yet. I suspect the signal is all going through scart leads, however the kitchen tv still receives the analgue channels though the...

I think this is where my limited knowledge on these things is reaching its limit :? My reasoning on splitting the signal was based on the fact that we used to have ntl cable and managed to split that signal ok using a splitter connector box. I know the issue is somewhat more complicated now as...

I am trying to split the Freeview signal from the digibox so that I can feed the TV in the kitchen (the nipper likes Ballamory in the morning :roll: ) but can't seem to find the signal on the kitchen TV. The TV is fairly old so not sure if it is 'capable' of picking up the freeview signal. Is...

Turns out the lambda sensor was covered in gunk and wasn't heating up properly. Throw in a bit of engine cleaner type stuff and jobs a good-un. CO readings now <0.3% :D Going back for the MOT next Monday so fingers crossed all should be ok. Thanks for everyone's input and BTW, does anyone...

i'm no expert, but i would say carb fed. Its the most basic of basic 1.1LX. :roll: Economy isn't great for such a small engine so fingers crossed that its running too rich ....
