ok, before i put these new brushes in, how do i clean down in the holders? can i use wd40? toothbrush or something, if it fits.....??

Ok, so managed to get the machine on it's side, remove the motor, and took one of the brushes out, had been worn down to under 2cm in length, reckon this is enough to cause the machine not to fast spin? I have ordered some replacements. Out of curiosity, what would an engineer charge (on...

Ok, so just got home and confirm its a Bosch Clasixx 1200 S Express, unscrewed the central plate on the back, could see back of the drum and belt down to the motor. Seemed a little wobbly than expected, but I guess the drum does have some give. Problem: how do you get to the motor? From...

Hi have a Bosch Classixx washing machine, about 4 years old (will have to find out the actual model). All of a sudden over the weekend, after two washloads, it just didn't want to do a fast spin cycle. This has happened the odd time in the past, and all I have done before is take the cover...

Ok, so I took another look online, and I assume it's the glazing bars you were referring to, these will hold the sheet down, so how much space should I leave between each of my rafters?

Thanks for the reply Mw Roofline! So to be clear, the water to run in the same direction of the flutes right? Ok, will look into 16mm opal. At the moment though it seems I might struggle to get this in one piece at 3 meter by 1.5 meter with shorter measurement being the run of the...

Hi Quick one hopefully, I have been advised to use polycarbonate multiwall for the roof of a lean to structure I am planning to put on the back of my garage. First of all, any problems with this roofing material I should be aware of, I have never used it before - or seen it for that matter...

Ok, thanks for the replies people! I will check that the earth has not been cut back, if it has then I can extend, if not then I will get the light fitting changed to a double insulated one. Thanks again all.

Hi, I am planning to replace a wall light in a bedroom. The wall light cabling in the wall however is the older style - black and red type, and appears to have no earth. The new light fitting has a requirement for an earth but what I don't know if this is mandatory. Essentially would...

You are right, and I have been toying with the idea and just cant decide. its going to take longer chasing walls and filling etc. but I think is likely that is what I will end up doing.....I am curious though as to the safe nature of putting the extension flex under the floor.

Hi, have the need to run an extension cable (doorway in the way), obviously would not put it under carpet, but is it ok to route under the floor boards?

why not what enprim22? lol

great thanks JohnW2, 1.5mm flex it is. ban-all-sheds - will take a look at the rubber tough plug type, otherwise will be a standard plug I am sure I will already have. Thanks everyone, appreciated!

Possibly. But, based on the 1.25mm suggestion, and the items that will be plugged, anyone confirm this cable is ok??

Hi I recently found we get a hell of a lot of water run off from the two gardens at the back of our garden - which are about a foot higher than our garden. The main problem comes from a particular section, at the back of my garage, which incidently has an extended concrete base at the back...

actually my assumption on 13a for the tv is likely wrong, according to electrical safety council, the tv and desk lamp will both use 3a fuses......

lol, and I was actually going to put down 1.25mm, but ended up putting 1mm down as I did not see 1.25mm flex available on the b&q website. No other way really, was just going to run the 2 gang off a double socket to run: - desk lamp, 25watt dont know the amp fuse it would use (E14 bulb)...

Hi, I need to make a 2 gang extension (approx 3 meters in length). Should I use 0.75mm or 1mm white flex? Thank you!
