My mother's car is very basic 25+ year old ford Fiesta and no real issues in her car. However my car is 19 year old Fiat Punto with...

    Cleaning Quartz Glass Grill on a Panasonic Microwave Oven NN-GD569M

    I have a Panasonic NN-GD569M Microwave oven which we really love - last night I cooked a microwavable boil in the bag fish that is frozen and covered in butter sauce. I made a hole in the bag but I guess the hole was too small because once the bag heated up it squirted the sauce everywhere...

    Lion Car Batteries

    Not sure if the internet / email things I have could as a receipt - will have to look into it - BTW we've bought 3 Lion batteries in total for 2 different cars. In a 25+ year old Ford Fiesta they seem to work OK but in my newer MK2 Fiat Punto the battery seemed to drain quite quickly when the...

    Chest Freezer - Adding a Timer for cheaper electricity

    Yes I remember Beko being about the only brand of Frost Free Fridge / Freezer that said it would work in a unheated room - I think perhaps because it's a Turkish Brand and they are allowed to use different gases to the EU brands?

    Lion Car Batteries

    I have a Lion Car battery that is approx 2.5 years old, and playing up so want to return it - but I bought it online from car parts for Less - but I can't find the receipt that comes with the battery - just the online order email - do you think this will be enough to get it replaced or refunded...

    Low Oil Pressure Light Came on after 19 Years on MK 2 Fiat Punto

    It seems fine - no more warning light - it comes on when you first insert the key but as soon as the engine fires up it goes off instantly. Car seems to drive fine. I think disconnecting the car's battery until the memory was wiped helped fix the problem - of course now the car has new oil...

    Low Oil Pressure Light Came on after 19 Years on MK 2 Fiat Punto

    I got hold of a gauge from Amazon today but I think it's defective as the needle never moved, I'm not even sure if the oil is able to get through the tube and this same gauge has two 1 star reviews since the time it was ordered that said the same thing - it didn't work at all. Interesting thing...

    Low Oil Pressure Light Came on after 19 Years on MK 2 Fiat Punto

    I just managed to get the low oil light to turn off by plugging it back in the switch - it seems it's as if this system isn't as simple a ON and OFF even though that's how the switch works. There was a small resistance in the wire that goes to the switch - so that resistance seems to tell the...

    Low Oil Pressure Light Came on after 19 Years on MK 2 Fiat Punto

    Today I just thought of another way to test for oil pressure - I noticed on the new Oil Pressure Switch that I installed that is said 5 to 7 PSI on it - so it needs at least that much pressure to disconnect the circuit. So then I thought why not install a meter across the switch and use that to...
