    Asian customers

    There is no doubt that it is in the Asian culture to haggle, even when I had a set price they wanted to change/reduce the figure; the negotiations don't last as long when I start putting the price up an equal amount to their offer of reduction. I doubt they'd be happy if you went in to their...

    IE refuses to load

    Why not try a "system restore" which should take you back to when it was working correctly?

    Bosch Exxcel 1200 Washer Dryer Fault

    Have you tested the motor off the machine since the failure to start after reassembly? Sounds as if you've dislodged a connector. Also check the motor brushes while you have it removed, just in case.

    LG washing machine keeps blowing fuse

    I'm all in favour of further education, and doing it safely is of the utmost importance.

    Creda Storage Heater

    Do be sure you use the right serial number, then you can order that "fusible link". They are shaped differently for various models. Replacing is a doddle, (power off), then check all the local connections for tightness. If it's on a timer then you'll probably have to wait for it to come on...

    Are small businesses fit to supply adequate security...?

    That's interesting, as the article is published by the one company it promotes, but that's business. The OP should refer his proposed client to G4S.

    The downside of diy

    So no "gas", no "tampering", just plain old "accidental" . Thank goodness nobody casts aspersions when there's a road accident, otherwise, there would be a furore to have driving only carried out by "professionals".

    Creda T620CW got to repair.

    The heading is diificult but what I have here is a Creda T620CW tumble dryer which in the past has been dropped and therefore the base and cabinet around the condenser has been fractured. I believe that this allows too much air and moisture to re-enter the cabinet and causes the machine to cut...

    Removing an iron burn on carpet

    Well as nobody has been able to come up with a reasonable solution, here's my "cover up bodge" which I used once. I cleaned the area several times and when totally dry used a stanley type knife and gradually went over the mark several times just cutting the "burnt" pile and creating a softer...

    gas cooker fault

    The OP didn't suggest he was going to tackle anything, and I advised an engineer? I think one would find the same advice in the "users instructions" on troubleshooting.

    Miele 460 door seal

    If the flanges from which you have removed the screws are flush and vertical with the back of the machine, then the lid must go backwards, and normally a hefty thump on the leading edge will displace it sufficiently for you to see what to do next.

    Chuffed With W/M Door Seal Change

    My kitchen is limited for space, so to move an appliance generally means having to move one or two other appliances. I wanted to renew the door seal on my Hotpoint WMA44 and the procedure, advised and on videos shows to take the lid off, take the control panel out, then dismantle the front. I...

    Can you drive my car under your insurance?

    You missed out "chance of an absolute plonker ruining your day". Always check to confirm either way that there is insurance cover for the use of that vehicle on a public road.

    Economy 7 meter faulty?

    You say it's supplying power to the heater during the day; is it showing a supply on the meter, i.e. numbers advancing, or is it that the heaters are pushing heat out all day?

    Law stinks

    Not quite, they are providing "a service" and in this case, the guy who's place was being burgled called them. The Police would have received complaints from both sides and referred all of it to the Crown Prosecution Service who have in this case, decided there was a case to lay before the...
