    Euro cylinder stuck in uvpc door

    Considering it will only come out with the key in the correct position… I’d abandon the drilled side and try to restore the key rotation then assume it was just stuck in the locking mechanism and needs an hammer to knock it through. Ray

    Bristan mixer shower runs lukewarm

    Is it one of those cases where you could remove the control knob, perhaps held on with a grub screw, and move the knob round on a spline so it effectively turns the spindle further towards hot

    Bosch Classixx 6 stopping at rinse cycle (SOLVED)

    We have a Bosch Classixx 6 Vario Perfect which has taken to stopping usually when it should be starting to rinse. We find it with all the lights out. To get it going we have been setting it to rinse & spin on the assumption the washing cycle is complete. Sometimes it may stop again during...

    Improve concrete pad ideas

    Sorry, and thanks for the reply, I have a feeling it won’t look very good even if it were fully jet washed … I wondered if there was something to cover it with I was unaware of. Ray

    This was a 3.8 x 2.6m greenhouse base years ago, I started cleaning the other day with a jet washer until it developed a fault of only being capable of running for a split second before stopping. I wondered if there was a one piece rubber mat available to cover it or any other ideas would be...

    Nicked a gas pipe

    I understand Mike, most of my similar soldering has been on slot racing cars and I’ve never seen any solder separate from the brass, copper or steel. In this case there is no hole just a scrape maybe a twentieth of the way into the pipe thickness. Ray

    Your Help with Fluidmaster 3514B Cistern Valve

    On checking today it was still overflowing into the bowl. Bought a new unit with the intention of just changing the valve body leaving the standpipe in place. This idea is frowned upon in the instructions so I bought and fitted a new seal for the existing valve. Several hours later it seems to...
