Thanks for your reply. The 800mm base was quite a tight fit into the existing gap. I then tiled so that the tiles dropped onto the edge of the base just slightly overlapping. The tiles are about 8mm thick so with the adhesive say 20mm tops. On remeasuring I find that the actual gap is about...

I've been a pillock ! I measured up for a shower door and bought a 800mm kudos curved one. Then tiled the shower area and now find that the door will not fit. The tiles have taken the opening down to about 700 mm. I'm assuming that the only way to fix this is to remove the tiles from one side...

Did mine recently, took all the old stuff off to let th wood in the roof dry off. I then gave it a coat of felt adhesive (black) Left it to dry then put the felt on. Seems to be ok.. I bought 1 roll of felt. You can get it in 5/10/15 year versions. Did the whole of my 8x6 shed ok..!

Hi, do you know why you lost stuff..? A re-install of windows should not lose any data files. Al

I think Igorian is probably correct and its a symptom of a faulty PSU. Another issue with a machine of this age could be leaking (and therefore faulty) capacitors on the motherboard. If possible have a look at the motherboard, best with a torch, to see if any of the capacitors have any goo...

Yep. It appears perfectly ok to do this. As I mentioned its just treated as an extenstion to the pipe work which supplies the hot water. Thanks for all your replies.

Can you tell us what type of PC..desktop /laptop what operating system xp/ w7 etc. Something that can cause this is overheating, are all of the fans working and all vents clear?

Thanks for your replies.. I'll check out the make up of the towel rails and get back..maybe a while my son lives in London but wont know the answer so he'll have to ask the guy who fitted it. Thanks again

I think I see a problem here. If the towel rails are also the only form of heating in the bathroom, then in cold weather and when visiting the bathroom for reasons other than a wash or bath, the room could be a bit on the cold side. Anyway back to my query. From what you are saying it's...

He has a tank on the first floor so I suppose its an open vent type. Al

My son has just had his bathrooms renovated. The new towel rails come on with the running of the taps. Basically this means that when you run a bath the towel rail heats up..very nice but is it correct. I was always taught that DHW and Heating should remain separate. Is this a new idea? and does...

I did this recently for some fencing, like yourself it rained just after i'd finished. I've checked and it all seems ok.. ITs now 4 weeks later and still seems ok. I suppose it depends on how much rain but I think its unlikely it will be affected. Al

Really depends on what you want. a) the ability to see the same channel in two rooms or b) the ability to watch different sky channels in each room. a) can be acheieved by the use of a magic eye set up..this gives an analogue signal and the ability to control sky from the room. Needs a co-axe...

wow..! thanks for that.. If my inputs are correct then I need something which handles just under 6 amps. cheers Al

BTW thanks for all the solutions offered... I'm afraid I found both 4qd and realife toys a little expensive for my requirements..

Can anyone tell me ampage I need for the type of device I mentioned.. or does it not matter.. I've seen 5amp / 15 amp and 30 amp versions.... Its to control the speed on 12 volt twin 35watt motors.. Thanks

Would this work..? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Reversible-12-24V-5A-Motor-Speed-Control-PWM-Controller-/220769835930?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Automation_Control_ET&hash=item3366e85b9a With 12 volt battery and twin 35 watt motors what ampage device would I need..? They seem to sell allsorts....

ok thanks...I'll give it a try..

Just noticed on a couple of ride in car adverts (argos) that some have two speeds.. 2.5mph and 5.0mph.. Any idea how they achieve that...? because that would suffice for me..

Thanks guys... but you are not talking to someone who knows very much about electrics/electronics. Fitting a potentiometer in between the wires from the battery to the motors is about as technical as I get. I suppose it might also be an idea to find a pedal switch which has this...
