:lol: Sorry tommy, first time I've had to look after my own car, always used my sisters until now. Hence after not using it for 2 month battery has gone flat :oops:

I rely on the shine to guide me when rolling the pva on, which is why I'm often seen hovering just above the wall surface with a distant stare. So armed with this little tip I will no longer look like I've PVA'ed myself to the wall :) Thx!

I bought a ctek xs3600 charger the other day which allows me to charge my car battery without removing it from the car. However, the instructions are confusing me. The charger is supplied with a set of clamps designed to grasp the battery poles and a set of eyelet terminals which you bolt...

May I ask why you used paste size instead of pva that time 54aardvark?

I'll report in once I've fitted the lights. Just out of interest, if I were to replace the 28w for a 16w, would the heat output reduce?

I can walk into any diy shop and buy a big pot of PVA, but finding 'glue size' is not so easy. I can also use PVA for glueing wood together, so from a practical point of view PVA just seems more versatile. Are there any bad points to using PVA as a sealer for walls prior to wallpapering? Such...

Thanks rocky, I'll play it super safe and see if my local supplier has any 1.0mm heat resistant flex AND use the sleeving supplied with the lamp. Impressive eyesight, you can read the number on the bulb in that pic :shock:

I've read a lot of threads on this forum relating to 'sizing' a wall prior to wallpapering. Some say use PVA, some say use thinned down wallpaper adhesive, others say use glue size. If we were to lock the three in a cage fight who would come out on top and why?

Here's some better pics... The bare fitting The fiting with 28w bulb The sleeve covers The cable from the junction box will come through the hole in the bottom right portion of the fitting, near the connector block and the sticker with the number 4 on it. So only about 40mm if...

Hi, I'm fitting one of these lamps to the upstairs landing... http://www.thelightingsuperstore.co.uk/product.asp?productid=26541 I currently have a ceiling rose which I am going to replace with a junction box, positioned in the attic. The current circuit is using 1.0mm cable. My set...

Freddy, nice find...You the Don! Thank You!!!

No joy there, Just looked at the price list again on the safeguard website... £25 for delivery!! Yikes :shock: I only want a 5L tub :? Looks like I've no choice, guess I'll fold and fork out the money. Thanks anyway. d.

No sign of postage costs there either so I'm guessing £10+ on that one :(

Ta for that freddy :) £47, a little more than I was told to expect, but I guess if you need it, you need it.

Does anyone know where I can find a 5L tub of Sika 1 to buy online? Having trouble on this one. Thank You d.

Alrighty so let me summarise here, I need to get... - 2 cameras - 2 Transmitters - 2 Receivers - 1 DVR with at least 2 channels (only seen 4 channel ones so far) - 1 monitor I take it the back of the DVR will have enough sockets at the back to plug in the two receivers. I set one...

The house is surrounded by a concrete pathway 8ft wide that can't be dug up :( I've seen DVR's with built in multiplex, so will this allow me to record both cameras at the same time? How does it know which channels I'm broadcasting on? thx d.

ok can someone confirm if I'm right or wrong on this one please? I have been asked to set up two camera's on an outside shed and link them up to a DVR recorder in the house. The whole system to be wireless. Now the catch is, the cameras can't be visible. So that pretty much voids the...

John, you've just given me an idea! Thanks!

Anyone fitted one of these recently: http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/1944-17115 The above website gives the tube diameter as 105mm The suggested diameter of the cut out is 117mm, however the drill I've hired to cut the hole only has 107mm or 127mm bits. Just wondering if 107 will be...
