Hi guys, we seem to have had a cleaning failure with our DW over the last week or so. It's a Bosch integrated unit, SGV4313GB/17, about 6 years old now. It's been perfectly reliable up to now, bar the odd filter cleanout that I've done, but now it just won't get stuff clean anymore -...

Hi guys, Tricky one this: is anyone able to give me a general ballpark figure for what it might cost to to extend a bungalow property by building a garage to the side and incorporating a basic roof conversion/bedroom into the equation to run over said garage? Property is currently square...

This one's only just over a year old! Mind you, it gets a good thrashing probably every day... maybe it's had a nervous breakdown due to overuse... they've a baby and another on the way! :shock:

Hmm, thanks chaps. Food for thought, and Hotpoint engineer time, I think...

Hi guys, My son's just called - seems his tumble dryer has stopped spinning, but is still heating. Sounds like the belt has gone to me, but would appreciate any other suggestions. Is belt replacement a major issue on TDs, or would I be able to sort it out? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the advice. I'll see what I can do!

Hi Guys, Question: I have two external lights, currently activated by one switch in my hallway. I have a separate PIR unit bought a loooong time ago, and wonder if it can be wired into the lights so it activates them automatically for a while when people come home late (and currently forget to...

Thanks for all the replies, guys. Since I last spoke, we've had some fun and games. Brief summary: New plasma telly was making a really high-pitched whine, so I had a second new one delivered. It too made the same noise, didn't matter where I put it in the house - even put the thing in a...

"Perhaps you are young and have good enough ears to hear it :lol:" PS: Sadly I'm not that young, either, and need the ears rinsing out every year now!!! :lol:

Wow! Fastest response I've ever had!! It's a Hitachi 42" Plasma, P/no. 42PD9700, if that's of any use. Finally gave in to my desires for big screen viewing, but the experience has all gone a bit pear-shaped now! As I mentioned, my son's TV is identical (which is the reason I gave in and...

Bought a new plasma TV 2 weeks ago, set it up and sat back to enjoy. Within half an hour, it started to emit a high-pitched jingling whine, like white noise but at a really high level. Not ear-splitting, but very intrusive and after a while it becomes uncomfortable to watch and listen to, almost...

Came down this morning and the boiler is still trying to fire up - flames in the peep hole, but only for a minute at a time, then it gives up. Keeps doing this cycle - weird. But will try to get BG out as soon as possible - thanks for the advice. Until then it's gonna be a bit nippy in...

if I am to get the Potterton rescue service out, what might I be looking at for cost? Say it's the PCB for example? Paul

Errr, where's that, and what's it look like? I've no idea, as I'm not familiar with this sort of thing. I leave gas etc to experts. HNY, Paul

Tried that twice, maybe three times now - no go I'm afraid. So you think the PCB may have just died? Getting very chilly here - happy new year! Paul

Hi guys, Yep, New Year's Eve and my boiler has packed up too. Absolutely nothing happening except the startup procedures, i.e. it tries to boot up 3 times and the red light then comes on permanently. This is what it did tonight: at the third attempt, it fired up for 1m 20sec then red LED...
