    Removing light fitting

    Hi, I need to remove this light fitting as I want to clean the inside of it. Do I simpy press the button to detatch and will this make it all come off straight away? Or is there something else I will need to do? Also, is it straightforward to reattach? Thanks

    Leaking shower hose

    I'd tried it this way earlier and for some reason it hadn't worked. I just tried it again and it worked perfectly, no more leak. Thank you.

    Leaking shower hose

    Washing machine settings

    Hi I've been using this washing machine a few week. I don't have the manual. I did a wash today on the setting shown (40C) and the wash lasted ages, at least two hours. Does this look like the right setting for a regular 40 wash or would that be the 40 eco or 40 synthetics? Thanks

    Cooker lights flickering

    So as long as the mains switch is turned off it will be completely safe to touch the cover? I haven't done this sort of thing before and heard stories of people getting electrocuted tampering with electrics in the home. While on the subject, if tightening the screws doesn't solve the problem...

    This is how I made the cut. Are there any cheaper alternatives like a filler for plastics and if so what would it be called? Finally, for polishing what would be the best emery wet and dry grit size to use? Thanks
