I just tested the battery with a multimeter and it's at 11.79 v Is that the problem? Should I buy a charger and try charging it first before buying a new battery?

There is a section in the handbook on releasing the handbrake, It says to use a screwdriver to pull up on the steel wire loop in the boot, I tried it but nothing happened.

The engine does actually start so do you think I should leave it running for a while to see if it recharges the battery a bit?

Oops sorry, BMW X6

Hello, Just wondering if anyone can offer some advice please? My wife went to start the car this morning and there was a loud screeching noise, then a yellow symbol lit up with a message saying parking brake failure, the car won't drive and feels as if it's stuck in parking brake mode. Garage...

It's the latch keep, it's not hitting the frame it's the other way round as the door sash has expanded in the heat.

Anyone else lolling at how many times the op say’s gable end cap? IT’S A DRY VERGE CAP!!!! As diy fun suggests, just get a roofer to fix it.

Also what design is easiest? The existing doors had tongue and groove in the middle wrapped in a frame, not nailed onto the frame but within it so flush on the external side, I liked that design but think it might be a bit tricky to make as I have limited woodworking skills.

Thanks, are these readily available in the local builders yards?

Hello, I need to make a couple of timber doors for my garage, just wondering what timber would be best without being too expensive? The opening is about 7ft x 7ft so need to factor in a frame too. Any advice appreciated, Thanks

They are aluminium couplers and corner posts and sit onto a reinforced cill, I think most if not all PVC window manufacturers offer various sizes of coupler, some are heavy duty.

The frame couplers and corner posts are structural

It's a lightweight tile effect insulated roof, I just call it a solid roof as opposed to glass or polycarb panels, they can be fitted onto windows and doors.

Is it still a connie with a solid roof? Over the top do you think? what spec would you recommend? Thanks

Hello, Taking down an existing conservatory and replacing with a solid roof one with dwarf walls and have a couple of questions:D Do these things require building regs? What's the norm for footings these days? width, depth etc. I was planning on digging 600mm wide until I found the existing...

Just seal it as it is and monitor it, probably just the recent high winds driving the rain under the frame didn't help but at least it highlighted the problem so now you can address it.

Ah okay the second pic is easier to make out, I usually put a bead of silicone about 10mm in from the cill lip before sitting the frame on, then also seal the back edge.

Looks like it’s sat flush with the back of the cill in the pic, you can see the bottom edge of the frame which should be sat lower.

Looks like the window isn’t located correctly on the cill, it should be butted up against the lip on the back of the cill not sat on it.

I think you need to double check this as I'm pretty sure it's up to 3 m2 for a porch, your 3 x 3 is 9 m2 so would be well over
