timtheenchanter, freeview box has one SCART only. Thankyou for advice, connecting DVD to box may work with a new box - I was thinking of buying a Humax with a recorder, £150 though!

Sam Gangee, tried swapping cables round. Now have DVD picture and sound, but image sliding left to right across TV screen. Very strange. I shall try another SCART cable I reckon.

I now have Freeview digital, via a Sagem box, with SCART cable to EXT 1 of TV set (make JVC, CRT, 16 yrs old.) The DVD player is connected by SCART to EXT 2 of TV. However, when try to play DVD, I switch to EXT 2, and the Freeview broadcast is still on screen, although without the sound. I...

LooPrEvil, some un-adopted roads may still be public highway. The Road Traffic Act version of 'highway' is different to the Highways Act. As I understand matters, a vehicle must be insured if on a place where the general public may normally visit. This would include un-adopted roads...

On my 1999 Vectra, 156,000 miles now, the rear suspension, nearside, has become a bit squeaky. Anyone know what may be the reason for this, and can anything be oiled, etc, to cure it? Any advice much appreciated, thank you.

You could just leave it well alone, since the effect of sunlight on it may degrade it over a few weeks (assuming its not in complete shadow). I wouldn't try nail varnish remover, which is acetone, it may effect the dashboard material itself.

Monsterminty, thanks for reply, but why should I not use hibernate mode? I thought it was common practice. Will change settings though, see if it works.

My PC has been set to go to 'standby' in 10mins, and 'hibernate' in 20mins. Been like this for many months, but now has ceased to standby or hibernate at all. I cannot figure out why, have checked the settings. Any advice much appreciated, thank you.

All fixed OK Sunday morning, hot oven again now. Tips! - Not too difficult, but do need clips or something - blobs of blu-tak! - ready to stop wires falling back when disconnecting the old element. Not much slack on wires either.

Thankyou rocks1, I thought I may have to take oven out and access from rear. Now have it out, 'phoned nearest spares shop, has one in stock and shuts at 12 today, so now off.

I installed this oven three years ago in a kitchen re-fit, and yesterday evening it seems the heating elements have failed, it is not cooking, only the fan running. Does anyone here know if these are easily replaceable? Or is it a case of a new oven? Bit annoying, it cost £500. Any advice...

Thank you for replies. wreckedit, Trading Standards did'nt want to know. EFCLee1, bank said I should contact the retailer, then they say I should speak to bank! Think this may take some time. dave.m, after finishing tedious call to bank half-hour ago, I thought this as well about...

Feeling bit annoyed. Checked bank-statement last night and payments have been made to well-known on-line retailer, in seven transactions, which the account has no connection with although I do have account with this retailer with a diffferent bank. Have explained to bank, and cancelled...

From my experience, I advise try to find a locally-based architect or building designer, they should have a 'feel' for the buildings in the area. I would not recommend a design and build package, best to keep them seperate. Also, draw-up an outline of your ideas first, then invite the local...

Thanks for replies. I tried this, but when Word closed, then opened again, reverts to 12 size font. I do not know why, as Word 2002 could change defaults this way. Bit odd.

Thank you all for your replies, will post outcome when I know.

I have been trying to set new default font. I did this by Home - Styles - Manage Styles - Set defaults, but it does not work, reverts to the original font. Any advice much appreciated, thank you.

What interests me, is how this happens in the first place, since apart from the 16-digit no. of the card, the retailer concerned needs the small 3-digit no. from back of card, before the account is activated. Leaves me a bit bewildered actually. Perhaps the 'leakage' of card information is from...

Checking latest bank statement, there were nine payments to a well-known on-line retailer last month which I did not make. I have account with that retailer, but payments are from a different bank. I have stopped card, and phoned and written to bank with details. I am now wondering, will I be...

When a new folder is created, it's called 'New Folder', then we right click to re-name it. Is it possible, to insert date and time as part of the name by using just two key-strokes? I thought it was, but have forgotten how. Any advice much appreciated, thank you.
