Hi guys, I've got a leak from the 110mm waste pipe from my toilet. Directly below the toilet is a (inverted) t-joint on the waste pipe so that the longest part runs almost parallel with the floor and the shorter bit points up towards the toilet. The toilet waste goes into the shorter bit...

Excellent! Thank you very much.

Cheers Robbie, What do I thin it down with (sorry, I'm no decorator by any stretch of the imagination!!). And I can just use normal emulsion then?? That gives me a bit more scope on colours to choose from!!

Morning guys, I've got a fireplace in my house that has had the reveal finished with what appears to be some form of render. I am wanting to paint it and looking for some advice? I am assuming that masonry paint would be the best paint to use, but what do I need to do to prepare the...

Hi, I've got a 500GB external USB hard drive. It was working this morning, but whilst copying some files off it, it stopped transferring and now wont work at all. When I connect it to my PC it says it needs to be formatted before it can be used. Before I do that, is there any way of...

Its certainly not caused by the file being open on another pc - for one thing it is a different message that appears when that happens - ie. This document is open for editing by another user, do you want to create a copy or open the file as 'read only' (or words to that effect)... To...

No, its not that. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the files aren't stored locally on my pc - they're stored on another pc and accessed across a local network. I've also just discovered that if I browse to the folder, double-click on the file this DOESN'T happen, but if I open...

Hi guys, I've recently started having documents I open in Word open as 'read only'. I then have to close the document again, open it again and it says the file was opened read only last time, do I want to open it 'read only' again - click 'no' and all is fine... Anyone know why it is...

Cylon raider - I've been known to do some daft things - but I did check that one!! It isn't just that the display isn't working - with the card installed, the pc isn't booting up properly. No lights come on on mouse or keyboard so it doesn't appear to boot properly as well as having nothing on...

On-board graphics at present - hence the new card. So I need to disable the on-board first? Will give that a go. Thank you.

Hi guys, We've got three PCs which are all identical. I bought an Nvidia graphics card for one of them last month and after a few teething problems its all working fine. Whilst trying to sort those teething problems I was advised that I would have been better getting ATI cards so that's...

KingboyD - I will have a look at that - but the device is being picked up in the bios settings, its just windows that doesn't know its there...? Skhudy - I found that online - seems to have solved the problem for lots of people, but doesn't solve it for me... :(

There is, it is now disabled it but it hasn't helped??

Hi, I'm trying to install a new graphics card in my destop pc. The heat sink on the card blocks the sata port that my dvd drive is currently plugged into so I switched the dvd to port 2 (SATA ports are numbered 0-3 on my MB). The dvd shows as being connected to port 2 in the BIOS, but there...

Hi guys, I need to put a new starter motor on my '52 plate Fiesta Finesse. Does anyone know if I'm ok disconnecting the battery while I do this, or will that knacker up the electrics / engine mangement?? Thank you!!

Thanks John, ill have a look tonight. I did wonder if something could have been quickly disconnected and raise this fault. The guys seemed genuine enough, but it just seems an odd coincidence. Took the car out for a test drive after this happened-light stayed on but I didnt notice the engine...

Is it possible to, very quickly and with no tools, tamper with something under the bonnet which would cause the engine warning light to come on? Im selling my car- a '52 plate petrol fiesta. Had someone look at it last night and he brought 'a mechanic' with him to check it over. He looked...

I've just tried something I hadn't previously - i've shut down my pc and then turned it back on straight away. No problem doing that. It seems it only happens when the pc has been off overnight. Its almost as if the monitor needs to 'warm up' before it'll work properly...?

I'm having problems with my monitor when I first turn it on. The screen comes on as normal, but then after 3 seconds the screen goes black. The indicator LED stays blue to indicate the monitor is turned on. I then have to turn the monitor off and back on to get the screen to come back on, but...

Cheers Alan - I will ask them. When I took it back on Monday I was within the 10days partial re-test period and he tested the brakes without logging onto the system so that if they still weren't right, I could take it back again for a partial re-test. Unfortunately the 10days has gone now so I...
