    Vauxhall Corsa ECU re-set

    Normally on most ECU'd cars disconnecting the bat for 20 - 30mins is all that is needed. Make sure you have any radio codes to hand before you do.

    Any SLR Camera buffs out there?

    This is what bugs me about photography is that everyone else has an opinion on what equipment you should be using and not what you have in your hands. You will always get the Cannon v Nikon pros and cons discussions, and likewise you will get the v Pentax. At the end of the day they are all...

    Fiesta battery charging problem

    How do you know it's still not charging? Most cars that do not have electronic ignition/injection require ablip of the throttle to get the "no charge" light to go out. If the bat isnt holding charge, sounds like the rectifier on the alternator is duff. What this means is that the...

    Floor Joist for Bathroom Conversion Pondry....

    Just looking into the feasibility of converting an upstairs bedroom into a bathroom. Before getting too involved into getting the pro's round for full inspections/assesments I've been sniffing around the room looking at the basic structure of the floor. Floor joists are 55x200 at 440...
