    Speed Camera Detectors

    Any satnav which can use the PocketGPSWorld database to provide warnings (Garmin, TomTom etc) or their own alert app for smartphones. £20 p.a. for the database (unless you report a new camera to them in which case they'll give you a free year next time).

    Varnish or wax?

    You might want to take a look at Danish Oil also. We were tipped about this by a cabinet maker a while ago. We used it on a piece of oak we put in the bathroom as a sort of big windowsill. It's easy to put if the wood is raw and you can just wipe it on with a cloth. The first time you'll...

    Tiny bit of floor tiling - newbie questions

    Hi - I have read gcol's helpful FAQ post but wonder if anyone can help me with a question... I have to extend some existing floor tiling by a tiny amount (max 100mm) so that I can replace a bath panel which sits back a bit further than the old one. The existing tiles are laid on plywood over...

    Car polish

    I used to use Mer for quite a while as my main polish/protectant. This is going back probably ten years+ however. It is pretty amazing stuff and i think still has a place as it will get off contaminants after a clean that shampoos etc won't. I think that's a combination of solvent and a mild...

    Car polish

    Hi, The experts would say that sponges trap dirt/grit and should not be used. I swapped to a lambswool wash mitt a few years ago, so I don't have any recent 1st hand experience of whether this is true. I can say that using a lambswool wash mitt with two buckets with grit guards has worked...

    Speed camera detectors

    Laser and radar detectors are still legal but fairly pointless with GPS detection generally more effective as long as the data is good (longer range). Laser jammers are not technically illegal themselves but using one will often attract a charge of "perverting the course of justice" if you're...

    Menvier TS690 - tamper on non-existent circuit??

    Thank-you! The internal sounder had taken a knock (probably from a vacuum cleaner) at some point dislodging the anti-tamper switch. That cleared the fault. Thank-you so much.

    12v led's

    I just replaced some festoons in my boot and engine compartment with LEDs. The LEDs I bought are not as bright so I would not recommend. They also have chunky heatsinks on the back so can be a tight fit. To give you some context, the ones I got were on Amazon "MIHAZ 10x 39mm 4SMD White...

    Car polish

    The hardest part is sometimes working out what the "blemish" is first so that you can do the right next step. Basically - is it damage in the paint or something that needs to be removed from the paint? Claying is a paint decontamination process to remove contaminents stuck/embedded in paint...

    Menvier TS690 - tamper on non-existent circuit??

    Hi, We have a TS690 alarm. After a long period of non-use, I want to get our alarm back in service. The installation company is gone. I've replaced the battery, then a factory reset to reset the engineer's code and done a hardware re-learn. The LCD is displaying Aux Tamper. I have...
