I can only comment on their 1/2" router. The one I have is not badged as Erbauer but is identical. I also got it a lot cheaper than Screwfix's £85. I suspect all these tools are badged by various. If my router packs up though I shall bin it as it was only £30. If I was spending £100 on a...

corgiman - having read the original post it appears that GRC knows about this difference but is still having problems. Have to say in my experience 3/4" olives with a 22mm fitting have worked well (after finding out the hard way). I have also noticed the difference in profiles of the olives and...

You also state that it sounds a bit rough when starting. That sounds like your hydraulic tappets taking time to get the oil in them. As previous poster has suggested, emulsifying of oil and water in either your oil or your water may indicate the head gasket has gone. You don't always get...

While I agree with the sentiments that this particular instance, I think that sometimes tradesmen don't always look at things from the customers point of view. 1) A lot of people simply don't have the slightest idea what a job entails will it take a couple of hours, a day, a week. 2) When...

Mothercare do still sell this stuff as we have done our french doors to protect out little darling. The technique I used to fit it was to get the wife to do it.

17% and totally honest. Not a mention of chunky 9ct gold jewellery, Kappa or sov. rings though. I would also add anything about people who drive with their driving/fog lights in perfect visibility, big hoopy earings for the ladies. How about a celtic tatoo? Any other suggestions. Have a look...

Just done a full day on a skid pan at Thruxton for £125. Taught about skid prevention. Great fun and the best environment to try this sort of thing.

I think this has been asked before and I think the pros will tell you to remove the old and replace. But my answer would be that it depends. If the wood is sound and not rotting I would consider covering the old wood. If the wood is poor I would definately remove. I helped do my uncles place...

That sounds like a fair amount of oil. There are basically only two ways you can loose it - either by burning it or leaks. If you were burning it I would expect to see smoke especially when the engine was under load. If you can't see a leak maybe you are blowing the oil out somewhere when the...

Anyone got any advice for trimming afterwards. Do you glue first then trim or trim them glue?

Yeh and they all turn the milk sour too!! I can't believe what I read on this section sometimes. I know that everyone is entitled to their own political views but the blatantly racist right wing attitudes displayed here astound me sometimes. What surprises me even more is that these posters...

Interesting discussion. I have no problem with people earning large salaries in excess of £100k if they are worth it. The question is do they add value? The other thing that seems to be lacking is responsibility. If you take the job then you take the responsibility. If something goes wrong in...

My mother in law asked me yesterday what the next door neighbour was doing running a machine all day. I said I didn't know and thought nothing of it. Today I went outside for the first time in over a week and found the noise wss coming from my garage!! Upon opening the door I found my Wickes...

I have just cut some glass mosaics with a wet diamond electric cutter. This worked a treat.

I used a kit from the Plumbworld site on my acrylic bath. Worked a treat. I think Screwfix are doing the same kit now.

My house is a large detached place in a road of mainly detached properties set back from the road by about 40 feet. When I spoke to the Planning Officer she mentioned the 'development line' which I assume is the same as the 'building line'. I need to investigate this as I have also heard from...

I agree with masona (good to see you back BTW). I knocked up some home drawn plans and photos and got an appointment with a Planning Officer. They told me I couldn't do what I wanted because it was in front of the Building line. Annoying as I have loads of space in front of my house (but not to...

Try www.fordgalaxy.org.uk as you probably know your MPV is the same as a Ford Galaxy or VW Sharan. I have an Alhambra and this site has been invaluable. Hope I'm not breaking board rules by mentioning this site. (I have no connection with this site).

Have to agree with the previous posters. Most people I know with wireless have had problems. I've fitted a couple of Gardtec systems (one on my own house) which I am very happy with which I believe are a professional brand (i.e. not DIY shed stuff). I got it thorough a mate with an account. Cost...

Heard something on Radio 4 the other day that if the Ozzy tax payer saw how much each of those medals had cost them, then they might not be so pleased.
