I bought a sky dish package from ebay some time ago >> Dish ,zinwell quad lnb ,suitable amount of twin cable, f connectors and cable clips,all 100% brand new never been used, I then bought the Managers special "A" grade Humax 320 gb freesat box. I set the box up, fitted the dish with twin cables...

O.K ,thanks for this info , will save me getting up in the roof space twice,I'll get some Webro WF 100 this weekend and do it properly :D

Just as a matter of fact , how good is CX 100 , sparky on the site has lent me a full 100m drum to use what I like from it, its copper shielded copper braided and copper cored and air foamed polyethylene dielectric , will this be good enough for standard digital TV in bedrooms, the free offer is...

It wasn't the price issue, one site had CT 100 more expensive than WF100, it was simply getting the best cable for my needs or whether the pros used different cable for different applications or just bought the good stuff and used it for most situations :)

That is why I asked here, foam filled or air filled for internal use ,one piece of info I read said CT100 hasn't been made since 2005 whether thats true or not, I don't know and the date on the bottom of that post says 2003,so I haven't just sat here hoping for someone else to do my work,I've...

Just had a new TV aerial fitted on my roof, a 4 way mast head amplifier in the loft, now I just need to drop cables down the walls inside bedrooms for portable TV's, downstairs has the quality coax fitted outside coming into the front room with the mast head amplifier psu, what is the best/most...

Thanks for these answers,I'll have to get my meter out this weekend and do a little checking, still got the manual, I also have a spare main PCB that came off another working boiler, so can always change whole board if neccesary.Will let you know whats going on :) Limit stat was at fault, and...

HW heat exchanger is clear, had that soaking for 12 hrs last year so that should be clear, gave the whole system an overhaul last summer, new diverter valve, system flush/descale, topped up with inhibitor , new AAV etc so system was running good. Just tried to turn down the water temp to min on...

Having problems with my 240 BF boiler , it will run all day with Central Heating on, but when we run a bath from it, withing one minute of finishing, it trips the gas valve and cuts the flame, it doesn't trip halfway through the bath being poured, always within about a minute of stopping. From...

Good tip is to run either a clear or white fine bead of mastic around the mdf at floor level,stops the water penetrating underneath before the damage is done, even the green stuff will swell up if it gets soaked .

Thankyou cider ,I wondered if that might be the case,I didn't know if the pipe runs minus the rads would have been enough to disperse that heat, the flow and return were left open so it could have gone around a little bit,but seeing all the rads were off I suppose the ring was broken and the...

The whole CH system has had a total overhaul,sludge remover added and flushed,all rad valves cleaned, all radiators off for flushing ,new Auto air vent, new diverter valve,all put together and re-pressurized minus the rads at the moment (haven't finished the flush yet), but got the system back...

Went with joe-90 solution, that stuff sticks very well to the wall, didn't pva it ,had a bath while it started to dry out so it stayed wet that bit longer, works a treat, harder than easi-fill but not to hard to sand ,comes up a good finish afterwards as well . :) So £5.69 for 25 kg seems a...

Thanks joe, thought I'd read somewhere that you could use the adhesive as a filler, but you know how it is,when you search for it again you can never find that same post again, I bought a bag so can now apply it to my edges ,if it was the wrong stuff I'd have taken it back and pleaded that I was...

Are we talking jointing compound or plasterboard adhesive joe, that's the only thing in Wickes next to the plasterboard ,that's 25 kg for £5.65 of the adhesive, at the Ipswich branch, they didn't have the ready mixed jointing compound so couldn't compare anything against each other, if so what...

A simple "yes it is available in bags" even though it's not on the web site or "don't use the powder because" would have been nice guys ,not start a war with each other but leave no answers for me, need some by tomorrow by the latest ,and will eventually need quite a lot as I go through my...

Where do you get this from joe-90 apart from stating the obvious "Wickes" ,just what I need at the moment but searching their site only brings up the ready made compound £12.99 for 10 kg ,not the powder form your talking about joe ? Desperate to find some asap to patch up my new skim to old skim...

Is the make "Uni Bond" any good as a floor tile adhesive . It's a rapid set powder form mix , in either a 20 or 25 kg (not sure which)bag and sold in B & Q , would this be better than their "own" brands or should I stump up and buy Bal instead , I've only got a small amount to lay 11 m2 in...

Thanks guys ,will try both ,heavy handed was a bit of an under statement , its on every washer, caked on all the threads , it obviously done its job ,but so much to try and get off again , paraffin removes normal putty ,but getting it off those threads ,washers, basins , you name it ,it's caked...

Is there an easy way of removing this stuff , a house where we are working is being totally gutted then re-built to a different spec ,all contents are being scrapped so I've been able to obtain an excellent bathroom suite , Quality looking Heritage make ,and a good quality cast iron bath , bit...
