I'm aiming to renew all our UPVC windows but this time replace the wooden front and back doors. I would have liked the front door to be symmetrical and considered moving the new door nearer the front but the recess is only 34.5" meaning the existing door and frame would need to come out with an...

In the event I removed one old tile with difficulty and decided to tile over the existing. It meant cutting around all the door jambs etc as none of the new tiles slid under the skirting. Thank you for your help again Ray

All working perfectly, thank you again for your help.

Been to the house to have a look in the loft. The 3 x 12v LED & 1 x Halogen still go out a few seconds after switching on. The extractor fan continues running until switched off. It is a MM31392 Micromark transformer Q3. On the assumption the transformer is switched on from the wall plate...

Thank you for your help and no, there is no dimmer … I’ll go to my son’s today and have as look at what I can see in the loft …

Q1. Will the extractor fan be 12v and running off the transformer I’m imagining changing for a “LED Driver” … I wonder? Q2. Does a single 20w “LED Driver” run 4 x 5w bulbs as opposed to having a driver for each bulb?

I can see the benefit of changing to GU10 but the one over the shower includes the extractor fan and the 12v bulb.

Either of the two, thanks

I understand, but I’m trying to make it as simple as possible it’s not part of a make over, it only started as “a bulb needed changing”

Thank you Eric, Could you point me to a link for the correct transformer for 4 x 5w LED’s and also to the alternative LED driver, which sounds the least expensive option?

Thank you I’ll have a look at SFix

When we got the house ten years ago the shower room had 4 x 50w MR16 bulbs with GU5.3 connectors and presumably an unseen transformer in the loft. At some point I changed the bulbs to 5 watt LED but found they would only work if one Halogen was left in. I assumed the transformer needed a...

Thank you for the replies ... When we moved in 30 years ago the concrete kitchen floor had Amtico vinyl tiles. At some point I put self adhesive vinyl tiles directly onto the Amtico ones then renewed the skirting board leaving a slight gap over the tiles. Years later I fitted the wood grain...

I'm wanting to renew our self adhesive kitchen floor tiles with something similar. They are plank shape and stuck to a Amtico vinyl tile base. I'm interested to know what method a professional would use particularly with regard to the adhesive left behind. Thanks Ray

Well Done ... Perfect Job

SUMMARY… The liquid is oil seeping out of the silicon key pad over time. It can safely be washed from the plastic parts and the key pad but needs extra care soaking it up from the PCB

Thank you for the link “Freddie” explaining about the silicone oil. I had cleaned the LG & Samsung yesterday before making the post. Removing the batteries on these two didn’t reveal any screws, it was a matter of carefully inserting a blade in to the seam between the two halves and prizing...

Thank you for the replies but I don’t think it’s any of these … It’s too evenly spread and uniform from one end to the other to be from the batteries. It started with exploring why an LG remote wasn’t working then I opened a Samsung one that was working and it was nearly as bad … yours is...

Does anyone know where the liquid comes from that forms over time in a TV remote? Thanks Ray

All done, thank you for your help Ray
