    Driving rain. Leaking patio doors

    Had to get the towels & bucket out again yesterday. Whenever there's any driving rain/wind, it finds it's way between the lintel stone & the top of the patio door frame. No doubt others will get this during such weather. Can anyone suggest a good sealant to cure this ? Thanks.

    1999 Treg Citroen Xantia. How much is it worth ?

    If I were in a position to get a new car, that would be perfect, but for now I'll probably run it a while longer

    Anyone here run an old Citroen DS ?

    Very sound advice Avocet. Thankyou. I think I'll wait until I'm better equipped to keep one, garage, expense etc. There's a good Citroen Guy called Ray Calvert at C&C motors near to us. He's doing up a D Super 5 at the moment.

    Dent Out

    I had a Mazda with a dent. It cost me £60 & you could still see the ripples afterwards where he did it. Waste of money in my case.

    Anyone here run an old Citroen DS ?

    Thanks, that's very useful. I heard that the D Super 5 was the best option. How about the no garage issue. Could that be a problem ? Also what do I need to spend to get a sound every day runner ?

    Laying patio over concrete slab patio

    I'm thinking of doing the same. About 11 Sq metre's of concrete slab patio. Been down for about 20 years & wanting to overlay with Indian Stone. There's plenty of distance from damp course & air bricks too. Be a sight easier than taking the slabs up.

    Wheel trim sizes. I'm confused

    I'm needing a new set of wheeltrims for my Citroen Xantia. The confusion comes when I see trims advertised for Xantias in both 14 & 15". Also, my tyres are R15 which I presume means 15", but I read somewhere that 15" tyres need 14" trims :? :? :?

    Citroen Xantia leaking LHM

    There's a coil of pipe pointing downwards that you can see if you look under the car just inside of the front n/s wheel. The LHM seems to gather on that coil & also on part of the inner wheel arch. Nothing dripping over the tyre/wheel though.

    Pointing crazy paving. Opinions on dry mix pointing

    Our crazy paving is in need of re-pointing in certain areas & I just read some info on brushing a dry mix into the joints & leaving it to dry through ground moisture etc. I didn't know about this method but it would be a sight easier than with a wet mix. I'd like to hear anyones opinions/tips...

    Don't know if I'm on the right thread here, but I'm looking for a Digital camera for around £80. I've had the HP Photosmart M425 recommended but other opinions are very welcome Cheers.

    Anyone here run an old Citroen DS ?

    That's the one thing that holds me back from getting a DS. We don't have a garage so it would have to be kept outside, also I'm not mechanically minded. I hear they need quite a lot of TLC to keep them in good order. There's a guy near us who's a Citroen specialist who's restoring a DS right...

    Anyone had a roof clean done ?

    Our roof has asbestos based tiles & also has a lot of moss growth. We are considering having a cleaning company do it. I was wondering how much this would be for a med sized mid terrace house.

    Best cement/sand ratio for pointing between stone paving

    Weather permitting, I'm going to be pointing in the cracks in my front yard's stone crazy paving this weekend. I just want to check the best mix ratio for this type of job. Also, I heard it's good to add PVA to the mix. Is this right ?

    ACER ASPIRE LAPTOP PROBLEMS. Blank screen/no noise

    My Daughter has an Acer Aspire laptop. On powering up, the lights come on, but no noise & a blank, black screen. First impressions from a guy at work are that it's probably fried & beyond economic repair. Any comments/similar experiences ? Thanks :cry:
