Sounds like faulty thermostat switch not kicking the fan in when hot. Best get it sorted before weather warms up, not an expensive job. Check all hoses and water, also when hot have a look in engine bay for any signs of leakage in rad or cooling system.

Why not challenge yourself and try and do it yourself? I would guess that materials would come to about £200, so it is worth doing. Most important thing is to make sure your posts are well concreted in (use postmix) and all angles are exact and levels true. From this the rails and...

To ensure the pads fit in with the new discs (i'm assuming you are changing the pads also?) you need to push the piston back in to its housing. behind one of the pads is a circular piston. you need to loosen the bleed nipple of the brake fluid, open the fluid filler cap in the engine bay too...

You mention discs and drums!!! I assume you mean discs and pads? In order to get the caliper (thing that squeezes the pads to the discs) off there are two hex bolts BEHIND the caliper. due to all the gunk that goes on under the wheel arch these can be rally tough to loosen. when you havee, let...

What sort of area do you live in to have to security protect your doorbell??? :wink:

will try and get as much of the root sytem as I can but don't know how spread out they are under the ground so will have to reach a point where I am cutting through them, any idea?

I want to move a smallish privet bush from one part of the garden to another. It is about 3foot high and diameter. the type with the little yellow leaves. How much of the root system do I have to dig round to ensure it will survive the move? It is in the same garden so don't think there will be...

Polycarb is quite rigid when it is correctly fitted into to the aluminium framework. i suppose there are different type of framework, last one I put up was an absolute swine to put together, takes a lot of adjusting to get the frames spot on, that one was the type that the frame had a grooved...

I am replacing the dividing fence in my front garden, right in the way is a 4 foot high shrub of some sort. I have pruned down the plant on my side, leaving half still in my neighbours garden and several 1 inch stumps at ground level on my side. I will be putting featherboard on each side of the...

thanks for that guys, there does not seem to be any movement of the tileees from the hardboard so will try the PVA mix.

Would i be able to drag out the grout where it has come out, sling a PVA mix in and regrout?

I have just laid ceramic floor tiles along my hallway, max width 3feet. this was on floor boards, I put hardboard on boards with clout nails evry 4 inches all over. I used rapid fix adhesive average thickness 7mil. Again I used rapid setting floor tile grout in the 6 mil gaps, as the bag said...

The raw material for all lime-based products is a natural stone: limestone, which is composed almost exclusively of calcium carbonate. » Chemical formula: CaCO3. You are getting confused with the shade of green which is similar to a lime fruit. Bit like **** brown being a shade of brown, but...

Is there any point to slot head screws, I find them a bugger to drive in with a power driver, even with the correct bit in the driver they always seem to slip out and gouge into the material I am driving into. Cross head are so much better so why don't they just make them? My girlfriend says...

I'm building a wooden construction workshop at the bottom of my garden (18foot x 8ft x 7 ft high). I plan to construct a concrete base. The place where I'm planning to build it is currently occupied by an 8ft high privet hedge. was thinking that rather than dig up the root system, could I...
