Thanks for your replies. I'll attach a picture of it as it is then what it looks like when pushed up. It's definitely hasn't been serviced for at least 4 years. It's a vw passat 2009

Hello. So the boot can be opened without touching the release handle and cant be locked. Does anyone know if the bit thats in the door should latch and stay latched if you push it up with your finger? If so I think that must need replacing. Thanks.

So does that mean my application should be registered with the LA?

I dont know but I had something looking like a certificate by email saying its been accepted.

Hello Ive had an acceptance through from Building control and im wondering if its recorded anywhere else? The main reason for this is just incase the private Building control firm were to go bust. No reason for me to think they will but as the only proof I would have of things like depth of...

So... He had a look today. All good it seems. 1 metre trench!!

So I got it done at the garage. Firstly the fella green flag sent had zero tools with him. I thought they were supposed to try and fix things. One caliper, front pads plus labour £231.

Hello. The structural engineer and surveyor believe that the soil is Tunbridge Wells sand. According to apps etc. Which should be good news as is not very shrinkable. I'm digging out a hole for the inspector and I think it's more like clay. Just wondered if anyone on here knows about Tunbridge...

I took the wheel off. The calipers seem tight on. I've spotted a split in a hose, I'll try and attach a picture to see if anyone reckons it's that. No sign of fluid getting out though.

Thats it! The front nearside one is pretty tight. Not sure what that means or what to do but it's a start.

Its done 160,000 miles. Ill try feeling the tyre heat also. It did freewhell down hill but bot as fast as I expect.

I had the intake flap stuck open about 10 months ago. P2015 fault code I think. The repair was more than the cars worth. In the end I found a bracket on amazon which stops it going open too far. That flap open meant the car could run lean I think. If its blocked as you say it would run rich and...

A Little update. I took the car out 7.30 this morning and had a 20 mile run. its getting about 50 percent MPGs I would expect. I noticed when I put it in neutral or take my foot off the accelerator the speed drops more than you'd expect. I'm no expert but Im suspecting the brakes. Theres no...

Ok so i'll see how things go tomorrow, thanks

Hello, I did a 50 mile run today, about half way I noticed it said average MPG of about 49. Being a hot day I would have expected maybe 60-65. By the time I got back it was showing 43 average mpg. Its an old car but diesel and always got good milage. At one point at about 50 miles an hour it...

Hello, There is currently a garage where a soon to be built extension is going. Having dug a hole the oversite seems to be good, approx 150mm concrete over 150mm hardcore. The top of it is about 240mm below finished floor height in the existing house. The thing i'm unsure of is it ok in the...

Thanks everyone. Even 100 lights per circuit is loads I would think. That website looks good particularly the outoor stuff.

A while ago I was looking into changing an ordinary pendant light to several downlights in several rooms, maybe even every room in the house. From what I could tell it wasn't straight forward as there was a chance of a problems. I think it was overload? Recently while speaking to an electrician...

Thanks I might have misread it. I think I have heard of putting another sheet of ply on top so you could walk on it if you really need to?

Hello, I've had a quote for an epdm roof. It states 18mm ply then visqueen then celotex then SINGLE PLY then the rubber. What is single ply? Is it the thinnest plywood they sell, if so how thick. Or a different product?
