It appears that the oven has an electric grill. But the bit about 13 amp fuse does appear on the spec Cooker is Stoves SGB900PS http://www.stoves.co.uk/built-in-ovens/double/sgb900ps/ The full spec is 4.3kw. That is 1.8kw for gas oven and 2.5kw for electric grill. The manufacturer demands...

I am getting conflicting advice regarding electicity requirements for a new gas cooker. My kitchen only has 30 amp ring and our present cooker only requires a 13amp supply for ignition and clock. I am looking to replace the cooker but do not want to run any new cables to the consumer unit...

The leak is from worn O rings where the spout sits around the brass boss.

Unfortunately I do not know the name of the tap. It came as a package with a carron sink. I have purchased a variety of 4 different pairs of O rings to cre the leak but cannot acces the rings. From all the literature and videos I have seen it should be a simple matter of lifting the chrome...

It is a lad of mine with one of his many problems. I will ask him about the overload, thanks for the pointer.

Can someone tell me if washine machines still come with a bracket securing the drum to the case for transporting. The bracket was then removed prior to fitting so that the drum then sat on the bearings / springs. I ask this as my son has had a new machine fitted by Currys and on it's first was...

My son has a leak in a Monobloc ceramic kitchen mixer. The sink is a Carron Phoenix graphite coloured doule bowl. The sink unfortunately has no manufacturer stamped except for P278 IB - AIRFORCE and NF in an oval stamped on the body. The web shows many hits where Carron is packaged with a JURA...

The house is 25 years old and it is to be fit on breast on party wall between 2 semis. I do not know whether it is brick or block as it is not an external wall. As it has been newly papered I won't know till I start drilling. Would it make any difference if I intend to use expanding bolts...

Thanks for that but how do you run the circular saw near to and beneath the skirting which I assume the board runs under.

My son has just moved into a property built approx. 25 years ago. He wants to divert a Sky cable which runs around the skirting to the other end of his lounge. Ideally he would (with my help) like to raise the flooring and hide the cable. However he has found that the flooring is sheet board...

The cylinder has the manufacturers foam insulation but the pipes are not insulated.

My apologies. I meant it is NOT hot enough.

How long would it take to heat up completely a bog standard copper cylinder with a cheap immersion heater. Plus can you tell me how long that water should retain it's heat for bathing. When i had new heating fitted 4 years ago both were replaced but only cheap parts were used. As my boiler is...

Do tradesmen only use pozi screws these days or is there still a circumstance where slotted screws are used?

Can you help please. My son is in the throws of buying his first home and I would like to start him off with all the tools that he is likely to need to get him going in DIY. I intended on spending say £300 of which £100 would be for a combi cordless drill. Which I thought Makita ould be a...

I have an Ideal Classic (3/4 years old) which has developed a mechanical hum. The boiler is still working OK but I would be interested as to know whether I am doing any more damage in continuing to use it and would also like to know wjhat the problem may be. My guess (although I know nothing...

Can you tell me if it is right that these still work when the green light is extinquished. I have had one of these for all my PC equipment. Now it is my fault that I have had it hidden and as a result only the red light is glowing. Maybe a surge occurred a while ago and extinquished the green...

I seems that I get vibrating / noisy pipes when the storage tank in the loft is filling up. It only seem to happen if only a small amount of water is drawn. For example it is OK if I run a bath but happens if I draw a little water in the kitchen. Could the ball valve assembly be at fault. Please...
