Hi.... I have recently had a problem with my central heating timer and suspect it is the wireless receiver unit which has either failed or has a loose wire but would value opinions if anyone could offer advice... The initial problem was that I noticed the heating not coming on when I adjusted...

Thanks Burnerman. Back to the drawing board for me then. I had considered doing the hosepipe cleaning method.

Thanks for your input Burnerman... Yes, there is black water in the pipes. Unfortunately I found this out last week when I was renovating my bathroom and stupidly put a drill bit through the floor and pipe. My plan is/was to drain and refill a couple of times and then add inhibitor. Are you...

Thanks for that Burnerman but I'm not sure how to make the connection at my filling loop as it doesn't have the usual filling loop, it has the internal filling link and key, which is why I was looking for a different way to do it.

Hi, I need to add corrosion inhibitor to my central heating system (Worcester Bosch Combi). I have read several threads online about doing this via the radiator bleed nipple but am not sure this will be easy with my system. The radiators are probably about 20 years old and don't have the...

No pedal pressure. Only thing they said is "It's not air". I left it with him because he was getting a bit defensive saying "Someone is working on it"

Update: Phoned up......they still don't know what's wrong with it. Now girlfriend is getting very stressed because we are supposed to be driving to lake district first thing Friday morning for long weekend, with 3 kids and all luggage & food etc. It won't all fit in her car. Time is...

Thanks for all the comments, I'll post an update for your interest, and also incase anyone else does a search for something similar in future.

No, car isn't a diesel.....1.8 petrol.....52,000 miles M.O.T. failure sheet says... Front brake pads less than 1.5mm thick Rear brake pads less than 1.5mm thick Rear disc bad condition....seriously weakened Front disc bad condition....seriously weakened Like I said in original post, I...

I didn't have any problems with the brakes but it had failed the M.O.T. because the pads and discs needed replacing so although they weren't causing me any problems, I can't say they were 110%

Hi, I've got a bit of an awkward situation that I would like some opinions on please. I've just taken my car (2006 Vauxhall Vectra) to the garage for new brake pads and discs. I've been going to this garage for almost 15 years and do trust them not to make stuff up etc. My dilemma is...

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment guys. Having investigated behind the washing machine and dishwasher and checking the waste pipe/joints aren't loose, I have come to the conclusion the cause is something out of the picture. Directly above there are two holes in the fascia from...

Hi there, and thanks for any advice you can give.... I have some efflorescence on the brickwork outside my kitchen which I haven't noticed before..... I haven't spent much time outside until recently so there is slight possibility it could have been there a few months but I think...

Hi there, Does anyone have a good idea what could be wrong with a tv that has a pink screen when watching tv but ok when watching dvd ? It's not my tv so can't give any other details other than it's an LG3000 42" Thanks for any educated guesses

Hi, My girlfriend's house alarm has had a bit of a meltdown. From what I understand, she walked through the door last weekend and put in the code but it didn't work and started sounding. I got there about an hour later to find it had stopped making a noise and don't think the box outside...

What exactly will happen crazydaze ? And is there any way of sealing it to prevent moisture getting in ?

Cheers footprints, don't know why I never thought of that, considering I've already got the laminate which I took up from another room. Incidentally.....the only obstructions are toilet and sink, both at narrow end

Hi everyone, I will be putting down some laminate flooring in the bathroom soon and would like your thoughts about which direction to lay it..... I'm aware that generally laminate should be laid parallel with incoming light or longest wall. If that's the way to go then I'm happy to do that...

Thanks again for your comments guys..... big-all..... I have heard that hammering carpet grips loosens the wedges but what do you recommend instead ? Although it's already carpetted so I expect has grips already
