Hi I have quite a heavy bathroom cabinet that has a lighting strip down each side and weight about 13kg. (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00248119/) I was hoping to fix this to an internal wall (on the bathroom side obviously), but I am having a few problems. I started to cut out a...

Hello About 6 months ago I bought a 1930's house. I am looking to improve the loft storage a space. The loft is part boarded. Is it generally ok to screw hooks into the roof rafters (to hang things), and should I be ok installing shelves onto the chimney breast? Note the render to the...

Hello. I have purchased a house that had a single story extension built in 2008. I want to install some recessed Venetian blinds into the window that is part of the extension. Due to the length of the blinds (being shorter than the width of the window), I will need to drill the brackets to...

thanks, yes I mean Conti-Board. I was not aware of that term, and googling has helped a lot. seems to be very popular in white, and not much else though.

Hi guys I have moved into a new house and I have put up some twin slot shelving rails and brackets in my office. However I cannot locate laminate board shelving anywhere for a reasonable price. The usual places like Homebase, Wickes and B&Q are all out of stock. I am after approx 1800mm x...

with my previous post, I am talking from experience. my old J reg fiesta had a bald spare for 4 years, and never got mentioned with the MOT. If the test station had of failed the car on the Spare, I would have referred them to the MOT Test handbook and complained. Also, did you know that...

The spare tyre is not part of the MOT test. Even if you have a spare tyre and its bald, it is not checked. therofre you can pass the MOT with the following: 1, no spare tyre 2, with a spare tyre but defective (eg bald) http://www.ukmot.com/mot_check.asp PC

thanks, the person who was selling stated that they didn't offer the benefit of a garage (e.g. warranty). also the car had a few faults, which became evident upon my inspection (dashboard lights & tyres)

hello, I am looking at buying a second hand car (budget £1-2k). I went to look at a car the other day at someone's home. However the seller has lots of vehicles, and he said that he was a trader. the logbook was not in his name, it was in someone else's name, however the logbook has the...

thanks to everyone for your replies and comments. Although the car was mechanically sound, I considered that rust has finally ended this cars life. I decided to scrap the vehicle and got £165!

thanks for the comments guys. I had a look at the rust and tapped a spanner against the paint work. bad move, it all fell away. Time the the scrappie I think (or sell for spares). Shame as apart from the bodywork, the car was a perfect runner and would have easily lasted another...

Hello, I have a 1991 Mk3 Ford Fiesta. It failed its MOT today because the filler neck of the fuel pipe is insecure. The fuel pipe is plastic and the wobbles around. (strange as its been like this for 4 years and there's never been a mention of it and its been the same MOT test station for...
