I would get a couple of pieces of plywood, mark one piece with the hole centres for the taps, put the two pieces of ply together and drill 3mm pilot holes. Next drill the correct size holes for the taps in one piece of ply and try the taps, if they fit, you can then use the other piece of ply as...

1st Suggestion... Buy a copy of the 17th Ed Regs. 2nd Suggestion... Buy a four pack of your choice... 3rd Suggestion.. Find a quiet comfy corner, crack open a beer and read.. Nick.

Hiya, Have a look on here:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing Does talk of IGU's having a partial vacuum between the panes of glass, also states that they are not repairable once the seal has gone. Nick.

Click on settings under the shop tab. Nick.

Perhaps you should re-phrase your question, this time include some more info. Make and model of old boiler. Fuel type. Make and model of your preferred new boiler. Do your existing rads have TRV's fitted. Nick.

Hi, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-unopened-Stanley-Yankee-Screwdriver-130B_W0QQitemZ250384890012QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Hand_Tools_Equipment?hash=item250384890012&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Is the 130B much different? Nick

I had a similar fault a few years back, traced the fault to a twin socket in a utility room, fitted a new one and away I went.... Few weeks later got a phone call, same problem again, so I went back, tested and found the same socket faulty again, it was only then I noticed a smell of cat pee...

Does the battery go flat while the bike is parked up, or when you are riding it?

Where do you buy your cable etc from?? Most wholesalers will have cable numbers/markers. Nick.

No, not yet, still at the planning stage, and was hoping for some impartial advice before getting quotes. Have a couple of shops to visit to check prices etc. Nick.

Hiya, It sounds like the system is air-locked, there are a couple of tricks, one is to use a vacuum brake bleeder, this attaches to the bleed nipple and sucks the new fluid out of the res and into the hoses/calipers. The othe way is to use a syringe and a piece of tube to pump fluid into...

I would think that would depend on how well the surface of the original floor was prepared. Nick.

Hi, We used to have a gas fire with back boiler in our living room, this was removed when our combi was fitted. We are now thinking of having an inset multifuel fire fitted, Similar to one of these:- http://www.esse.com/stoves/multifuel_wood/300.html What would be the best...

Have you got young kids? Check the bins if you have.. Have you got any info/paperwork for the car? It maybe cheaper to get a full lock set from a scrapyard, but check at your main dealer first. Nick.

A Joiner :shock: They will have the best tools and experience to make the best job. Nick.

OK, so multimeters should be banished to the same bin as the neon screwdrivers... What should people use (diy or professional)? This is the good one, what does everyone have in their van/toolbox (and how do you prove its accuracy)? I am an electrical engineer, mainly worked in...

hmmm.. it'll actually be a 100 Amp fuse, need to check out the specs for the DNO fuses and what mm2 thier supply actually is, (I'm not going to try and measure it (each core) with my micrometer though) but as you rightly know fuses "run" at overcurrent" for quite a few seconds if not an hour...

If your cable clamp causes a problem it will not trip any RCD or RCBO within your CU, it will not blow the fuse in the service cutout, as all these devices are after the fault, it would be a big bang, you may not hear it as it would occur down the road somewhere... Nick.

These are the one that get to me, Someone asks "can you borrow me a tenner", I start asking around to see if I can??
