Thanks for reply, a new battery it is then.

No idea, we moved here two and a half years ago.

I have a Veritas Alarm System which over the past 18 months has gone off for no apparant reason when not set, tamper red light comes on. It has just happened and it seems it is triggered by either a very, very brief powercut or spike, because today my computer was reset and the oven timer now...

We have a Hotpoint Aquarius WD440 Washer/Dryer, and for the last few months our washing has had white marks on it. We use a liquid detergent, which is placed in a cap and placed on the washing. Did think it maybe calcium, but we live in Devon, which is a soft water area. Any ideas worried...

Thanks for your reply. We have today emptied the fridge/freezer and switched off and will leave for 24hrs to thaw out any possible blocks. Have checked the drain tube and removed the valve, does not appear blocked and 3hrs after switching off we have a small drop of water in the...

I have a Zanussi fridge freezer model ZNB404W, and the fridge seems to have stopped. The fridge setting is displaying a flat line at the temperature setting whereas the freezer reading is 18. Any ideas?

Shower has developed a very slight leak, as photo. Any suggestions, would it be the taps is not sealing properly, and if so how do I repair. Thanks. http://www.diynot.com/network/user_album_update.php?album_id=8746

Thanks for replies, I was thinking of a plain textured paper and the Bathroom Emulsion, would this be OK.

Have a small bathroom where the previous paint has flaked. I have scraped off all flaking paint, what would be the best sealer? As the wall is now very patchy could I paper with a textured wall paper? Filling the patches is not really an option as there are so many and some are large...

We have bought a new head which has come with a restrictor [hence my original question], I assume then that it is safe to fit the head but leave out the restrictor. Thanks.

Because my wife finds that it is too powerful. We did not have it installed ourselves we inherited the system when moving to this house in Septembe last. Therefore is it safe to fit a restrictor. Thanks.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is it safe to fit a flow restrictor to a power shower. Thanks

Thanks Stem, Had a look this morning and this is what the problem was.

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, my appologies if not. Went up into my loft yesterday because we seem to have a mouse scratching around up there, and found that there was condensation on the inside of the roofing felt. Is this normal. The condensation was along...

Sorry for the question, see it has been answered elsewhere.

Just moved into a bungalow with UPVC D/Glazing which is about 11 years old. Noticed on a couple of coldish mornings a 1inch bead of condensation along bottom of windows, is this normal? Is there any way of stopping this? Thanks.

Advice I have received by someone who knows about these thing is as follows; If you are both non-smokers the risks of radon affecting you (killing you) before you die of something else are probably very small indeed. Maybe 1% If the house you buy is one of the few that are quite badly...

Thanks for replies. According to the local Building Control, protection has been provided at the build stage to the bungalow in 1999, therefore have no concerns there. On reflection think one idea is to have an insulated shed, standing off the ground on bricks [free flowing air...
