Couldnt tell you, the fire in place now covers everything up. No problem with needing a corgi for the gas fire, its not connected to the gas mains because of a leak that we could smell but the detector couldnt find. Im not too sure on what is on the top of the chimney, i will have to check...

Im looking at changing my gas fire back to a coal/log fire. Ive read about a lining being needed for one or the other but not sure which. With it originally being a coal fire then being changed to a gas fire would i need to have the lining removed or would it be fine to just put in a new hearth...

My Sime Friendly runs arond 1.5 bar (grey finger). 4 bar seems to be very high. You might need to drain some of the water out, there is an in built drain pipe inside the boiler, to the right as you look into it. Drain it into a bucket slowly untill the guage reads 1.5 bar. This could be why your...

Definatly the alternater. I had exactly the same problem on my car i just bought, an astra with the 1.7td engine. It drove fine all day long but if i turned off the engine it would not start without a jump from another car. I ended up with a new alternater (60 quid plus 30 quid fitting) and a...

Had a couriers stuff up before. We sent a pallet of bricks weighing about a ton to a northern ireland supermarket. We got a call from them saying they have just recieved a small box that weighs 6kg and can we check whats going on with the bricks. Turned out the bricks had been sent to Nigeria...

Try turning off the AVG toolbar and the email scanner then try opening the file. I found the toolbar slows the net down considerably because it scans every page opened and if its checking the video while downloading it could be why it takes so long to view.

I reseeded my front and back garden recently. The back had a big strip where the dog always walked and the front had a strip where cars have run along the edge of the drive. Within a week of throwing the seed on, no digging in or anything, the areas are covered in nice think grass. The entire...

Thanks, i will look in the yellow pages for someone near me to fix it. Would the fact that it walks around a bit under the worktop be causing the bearings to go?

I have an indesit WIL143S washing machine and it seems the bearings have finally given up on it after two years, good going for this washer it seems. What type of bearing is it likely to be that needs replacing?? Ive looked at online sites and there are different types with the most expensive at...

I use liberal amounts of white spirit inside and out and it really gets rid of all the grime, it shows up all my stone chips too. Wipe on, let it dry in then polish it off, gives a mirror shine. Then i use tesco eco screen wash, the clear screen wash with no additives. It does not smear like...

Look in the argos book. I think they had them in ther from 80 quid upwards. Why rent if you can buy cheaper.

Im looking at getting a big fish tank, 6x2x2 and it will weigh around a ton once filled up. The building bit is coming :) I have a raised floor, there is a gap of about a foot below the joists, will the floor be likely to take the weight of the tank or would i end up with bowed floor boards or...

Does this pump the water round the rads aswell as the hot water to the taps?? I will definatly get it replaced, its just now not so much of a worry of getting it replaced because we have no hot water. Wont need an emergancy call out added on top of the bits.

Just moved it and its working again, for a long time too hopefully.

There is no flow to the hot water taps though. Its strange how it has just dropped off. I would guess that it should still work even though its seperated, is there something else stopping the hot water coming then??

I have just been to go in the shower and found no water pressure so i checked the taps and cold is fine but hot is only a trickle. I open the boiler up (Sime Friendly combi) and find that the bottom of the pump has come away from the body. The heating still seems to be working but the water is...

I had the same problem with the same company. Are the weights put on where the tyre bead is? If so they should be changed for the type that go on the inner side of your alloy. With mine they just put a load of weight on one side and it made it vibrate really bad. If they keep saying that they...

Whats the vest way to prime the fuel filter on an M reg diesel 1.8 escort?? There is no primer pump to squeeze, the filter is sealed and has two elbows on the top plus a nut and a water drain on the bottom. Do i just open the nut and fill it up then install the filter in place or is the nut some...

A lot of people seem to mention clean and power flush as a cure for all boiler problems. When i drained mine the water was pretty clear and after advice on here about the heat exchanger being blocked up with limescale and the like i had someone remove it to clean it out hoping to sort out some...

I will find out what insulation they have in the loft. I dont think they will have much in there and i doubt the walls have any in them, most likely what was in there years ago has turned to dust.
