Thanks it8480, It is a house and I’m hoping it won’t but good to have a plan B. If it does get flagged up for building regs where is my first point of call to get it sorted?

Here’s one of a few images showing the steel and the wall nibs it is sat in. Reading this I think I will just wait and see if it is brought up and if so I’ll sort it then! Probably the best action to be fair.

Thanks for that. I do have photos of it being installed so not sure if that would help???

Thanks Woody, I’ve contacted them and they have no record?? If there isn’t any record what would be the best action?

Hi, 3 years ago we had an internal structural wall removed, a steel beam installed and put back together by a builder. The was wall separating a kitchen to a dining room and now its open plan, the wall taken down was about 2mtrs long. We are wanting to sell the house but the builder has stop...

Thanks guys!

Thanks John, I’ve check with a few places and no one wants to do it, they all keep saying to go to Merc direct! Been quoted £380 to have it done which is proably allot cheaper than the repair to a gear box! Cheers

Thanks Dave, when you say mid life does that have any mileage attached??

Hi, I’ve got a 2012 Mercedes C220 2.2tdi sport with the auto box. It’s coming upto 130,000 miles and still drives sweet although I’ve read that the gear box needs a service at 100k??? Is this just a Mercedes thing or is it something I need to do to get another 130k trouble free miles out of...

Thanks for that. Not sure if this will work but I were thinking about fitting a small strip heater near the compressor and boxing it in, this will be set on a stat to work between 8 and 15 degrees C. Then I will install a bulb inside the fridge compartment on a septerate feed to generate some...

Hi, I’ve got a candy csc1745we fridge freezer which is in my garage. As we’ve had a couple of cold days it’s seems the freezer isn’t working! I do know why and I do understand that the compressor operates to run the fridge and if there’s a cold ambient then the fridge doesn’t require cooling...

Whoops, thanks for that! i'll try the signal tester to test my AERIALS. I have three on my house, two work great and the third seems to give a weaker signal! I've tried boosters to the tv's but doesn't make much difference. Thanks again

Hello! I'm having an issue with an ariel on my house that feeds two tv's. I'm wanting to get a signal tester but there seem to be loads around for fairly cheap. Can anyone recommend one "cheap and cheerful" meter that will allow me to test the signal strength of the ariel please?? I've been...

BW zep mini purchased! £100 via eBay! Thanks for all the help and I'm looking forward to hearing this bad boy when it gets here!

Lucid, That's brilliant advise thanks! I've just looked on eBay at the B&W's Zeppelin Mini, and they are going pretty cheap. Just to confirm this will give me a top quality sound for a dock as in as good sound as the powered speakers? Cheers

Unless you're telling me for £100 (or less) I can get a docking station that wil sound as good as self powered speakers??

Sorry Lucid, My answers below. Do you actually want stereo self-powered (active) speakers or are you happy with a dock with built-in speakers? Active speakers, so they can be positioned better. Do you own an iPod dock right now that has an audio out connection for hooking up to external...

They are the type of thing but a little out of my price range. Got a couple of docking stations and they are ok but can't beat a good set of speakers I just struggle for the space with the amp hence looking for self powered "book shelf " style speakers. Think I will call into Maplins for a look.

Yes to the Maplin ones. I were actually looking at those ones. Have you got them?

Are you pleased with the sound? Plenty of base? As most docking stations seem lack this that's why I were looking for a couple of powered speakers
