I'm trying to fill in gaps of my bedroom floor so I can sand and re-varnish - floor is birch and hasn't been touched in 25yrs. Problem is some of the gaps are about 8mm and wood looks like it has warped abit. Not sure if I should use filler or glue in some pieces of wood. See attached picture...

Had the Zanussi seven years. Noticed recently freezer not getting cold enough and some food defrosting. Top shelf seems to be the worse. Fridge working ok. Attached picture of freezer compartment. Any ideas what's going on? Or should I think about getting a new fridge/freezer? Appreciate any...

Thank you for taking time to give such detailed advice. It is appreciated.

Thanks - I cleaned the flashing and there was no tear before the roofer replaced some tiles which had too much cement that had fallen from his rendering work on the chimney

Is the cover patch easy to put for a DIY person or should I get roofer back?

Thanks for your help

Have a small tear to lead flashing after roofer replaced some tiles. Didn't see it until after work was done. I was wondering if the fix is easy. Attached a picture below. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

I have an internal and external bypass on my Vaillant Ecotec plus boiler system - I'm trying to figure out if having two by-passes is a good thing or a bad thing. I was instructed by a Vaillant engineer to add an external bypass years ago because he said the internal one was too 'weak'. I'm...

I will change setting of ABV to 5. Flow and return temps right now are 37C and 29C (not cold today - about 13C). D.40 and D.41 are always the same during pump over-run. I've already increased pump-over run time of 5min to 7 min - didn't seem to be much improvement.

I get banging in the radiator pipes when the boiler goes in pump over-run after the central heating port valve closes. I'm assuming the auto by-pass opens. This boiler has an internal by-pass but was told by a Vaillant engineer the internal by-pass is too small for this boiler and I should fit...

I did take all the TRVs off - made no difference. Maybe I'll just change the central heating port valve.

Attached some pictures below. First picture shows the S plan system. Green arrows on the port valve show the direction of the arrow on the valve. The second picture shows the valve on the flow for the central heating (Top valve in first picture). Looks like the valve is the correct way round.

Some background. Went from vented to unvented system 5yrs ago when I added an extension to the house. I have 15 radiators and underfloor heating. Boiler fitted was a Vaillant Ecotec plus 637. It's a S-plan system for heating, hot water and underfloor heating. Water cylinder is 290 litres...

Thanks..going for the Seagate Skyhawk 2TB HDD

Any recommendations on the brand of HDD I should go for?

It's 9yrs old and one TB. Not sure of the make of the HDD as I've not opened up the DVR yet.

I have a CCTV EZ 960 Lite 4 CCTV home security system. Got error message that hard drive not detected and I'm assuming that means its broken. Wondering whether I should 1) Replace hard drive or 2) Replace entire EZ 960 dvr unit or 3) If unit no longer available, a similar dvr system that's...

Opps - thanks. Will go for Toupret Powder filler. Do I also apply mist coat/pva after I have applied plaster before I wallpaper?

Mike 13 - Good idea about the blocks and the radiator - thanks. Any suggestions on filler I should use? Easy Fill 60?
