Thanks folks. Was going to try to do this today, but Tesco's won! Ive found two drain cocks (I think) one in a pipe under the rad in dining room next to patio door and the other in a pipe under the rad in hall next to front door. So both can feed outside. Do they work? Not sure...

Thanks very much. I’ve bought both products and I’m fairly comfortable draining flushing etc but how do I get the X800 into the system to circulate. I have a FE system if that helps. I assume it’s not just a case of pouring it in to the FE and let it circulate? I don’t have a power flush...

Hi Im going to drain my CH system in the next week or so to fix a tiny leak in a pipe and was wondering if there is any product out there I could add prior to draining to help clean/flush it. Ive lived in the property for 10yrs and its never been cleaned/flushed or had anything added at...

Hi Thanks for the replies. Perhaps I didnt make it too clear. When I mean decorate I mean have the walls re-skimmed then painted over. Also Im fitting a new kitchen myself so all of the sockets (incl light switch - plugs - ceiling light etc) have to come off & stay off for a bit - hence...

Thanks Burnerman The word coil pack seems to pop up a bit via google. My daughter has a friend who runs a garage with diagnostic machines who said they would plug his bits in to see whats wrong. Is it safe to limp about six miles with it?

Hi Any advice greatly appreciated. I have a Citroen Picasso 2001 Petrol 1.8 and the orange engine management warning light has started to flash, immediately followed by loss of power. I don’t know an awful lot about cars but let me try to explain the symptoms: Initially the light...

Thanks very much for the swift reply & advice.

Hi thanks for all the comments, a lot of it I don't understand. This is the first time I've had a chance to strip down the kitchen to brick level since moving in a few years ago. The light switch wire has no earth just two wires although some light switches in the rest of the house have 3...

Thanks EFLImpudence :)

Hi Any advice if these look ok? I have stripped the tiles & units from my kitchen and revealed some plugs that dont look quite right. I hope my attempts at uploading pics work ! The cooker plug & small seperate socket is about 35cm to the right of the hob. Its looks as if its just been...

Hmm ..sorry I thought I had uploaded 3 photo's

Hi I need some advice to help me prepare the walls in my kitchen before I get a plaster for a quote. I’ve ripped all the tiles off and it has a couple of patchy marks, overall its left the plaster in one piece apart from a few spots where it’s been ripped out down to the brick. Is it best for...
