    Hard drive about to die I think

    If you can get the disk up and working long enough I would buy a copy of Acronis backup software (about £30). Install it on the machine and take an image copy to an external hard disk. replace the failing disk in the PC (IDE/SATA disks are easy to come by) and then restore the image back to the...

    Soft close toilet seat - different fixing

    We had a new bathroom suite. The toilet, which is close coupled does not have the normal hinges. It has soft rubber bungs which drop into what would be the hinge holes in the top of the toilet and then you tighten a screw which pulls the bungs up and makes them bulge, which holds the seat in...

    Ford Fiesta zetec 1999 - Engine temp heats up......

    Could of course be the simplest of all and be a collapsed hose..sometime if they are old the inside frays a little this causes the pipe to collapse when is gets hot...worth a check maybe..

    Ford Fiesta zetec 1999 - Engine temp heats up......

    If you have excluded the Fan/thermostat/sensor/head gasket then its likely to be a blocked or collapsed radiator core. Back flushing by putting the hose in the thermostat housing may remove debris. Other than that you may need a new radiator...have you checked that there is airflow to the...

    Ford Fiesta zetec 1999 - Engine temp heats up......

    If the fan comes on then its proably ok...I think there is a sensor fitted into the thermostat housing which controls the fan (one wire)..it may be a good idea to replace the sensor whilst you are replacing the thermostat. Thermostats about £8, sensors depending on which one its is..£4-£14...

    Ford Fiesta zetec 1999 - Engine temp heats up......

    also it may be that the electric fan is not coming on.....start the engine and leave running until normal temp reached at this point the fan should come on..if not the wiring/fuse/sensor will need checking.

    Ford Fiesta zetec 1999 - Engine temp heats up......

    possibly the thermostat stuck closed so water not getting to the rad...easy to replace..3 nuts if I remember correctly..plus a new gasket..while you have the thermostat out, shove a hose in the housing , take off the rad cap and turn tap on for 5 mins or so..this should flush the rad.

    SD CARD

    It seems it is possible that the SD is not formatted, or may be locked (little switch on the card fixes this), or the contacts may be dirty . On page 85 of the camera manual it tells you how to format the card. hope this helps...
