Yea, I'll go back to my servicing garage - pretty friendly and I'm sure he'll wonder about the oil tank being half full. Might discuss that STP stuff with him too. Cheers.

I replied with thanks a minute ago but the post seems to have disappeared. Anyway, thanks to everyone.

OK some history first. Previously had a Humax pvr and crt tv. Recorded programmes started freezing and hoppity skipping. Got new aerial with masthead booster, new digital tv and new hard disk recorder. Both Panasonic. Some problems still remain. Some freezing and occasional jumping. More rare...

My old Toyota Yaris 1999 has recently developed a tick from the engine. The timing suggests relevant to one piston -speeds up with revs and gets louder when accelerating hard or going up inclines. Sometimes quite quiet. Car was serviced in May, as per every year. Just checked oil and it's...

Hmmm. Well, it could still be that you're not pumping enough pressure into the expansion vessel. Not sure how many pumps needed using a bike pump until I try it myself.

I'm no expert but I'm planning to do this myself soon, so I'm interested in your progress. Are you measuring the pressure as you pump up the expansion vessel? I understand that it should be around 0.7 bar. This is not the system pressure as shown by the meter on the boiler. You need to use a...

I recently bought a new Panasonic - a 32 inch model in their latest range. I'm very pleased with it, having had a Sony crt for many years. One seller did say the same as you read, about sd being worse on these sets than on crt. Whilst this might be technically true I have to say I haven't found...

Thanks. Actually, I'm not stressing about power consumption - just reacting to Sam saying that cabling out "...uses no electricity to run." I just wanted to clarify, in case I missed something. Cheers.

Yes, but wouldn't I need an ethernet switch, which uses electricity? Or am I missing something? Ta.

Thanks. You're right of course. Don't know what I was thinking there. So if I have mk sockets in the house already, I could find suitable plates in their range and perhaps have to buy the telephone and rj45 modules from somewhere ekse. Or do mk make all? Must have a search for that now. Update -...

Thanks. Still a bit confused. I can't find a 68mm or a 85mm plate anywhere on that site. In fact none of the plates give dimensions. When I get back home, I'll post a list of what I think I need, if you or anyone would be good enough to check if my understanding is correct. Thanks for the help.

Ah, hold on. I think I've got the hang of this. I would need to use a "White Modular Plate (1 or 2 Grid Spaces)", into which I would fit a "Telephone Extension Module IDC - White" and a "25mm Single Euro Module Blank - White" beside it. The "White Modular Plate (1 or 2 Grid Spaces)" is the...

Thanks for the quick reply. Its a pity the combined unit isnt the same size/shape as the existing telephone sockets. Then I could avoid doing any digging in the wall. Still, a bit easier reshaping an existing position rather than digging out for a seperate rj45 plate. Thanks again.

Thanks. I might just go down that road. Now I need to educate myself about what to buy, how to plan the installation and how to fit the connectors. Any tips about good equipment suppliers and maybe on-line guides? One small question springs to mind - can you buy a combined telephone...

OK. Thanks. I used the terms 'sending' and 'receiving' only to clarify which adapter is connected to the router and which is connected to the devices.

Thanks. If I'm feeling brave sometime I'll maybe shimmy up a ladder and try that. Are the 'joiners' something specific, or are they really just a bit of coax with a female connector at one end and a male at the other (or maybe like connectors at each end)? Presumably I'd need to provide some...

You mean I only need one at the sending end, no matter how many I have at the receiving end? Thanks.

Thanks but perhaps I'm not explaining myself properly. Say I have two devices that I want to feed broadband to - a TV and a PVR. I know that I would need to connect each to the receiving adapter with it's own lead. But my question is, would I need to use two leads between router and the...

[/url] Thanks. An interesting link. However, it doesn't answer my questions. Any other takers?

I'm thinking of buying a pair of these. If I get ones that have two or three ports, does that mean that I have to use two or three leads at each end? Or can I use one lead between router and the nearest one, then two or three leads from the other one to the units that need broadband (TV and...
