Thanks for the help. Firstly, I have not cleaned anything. I am quite a technical person, but do not know my way around the printer. What is the difference between the copy cartridge and a toner cartridge ? I do have the manual. I can try removing one or other and 'cleaning' it if...

Hiya Box, Yes it is a laser printer. I normally use it for printing out text on plain white paper. The smudges vary from page to page. Sometimes I print a page and its so bad I have to print anothe page, which is then almost fine. I find it strange that even the back of the page has streaks...

When the printer prints a page it prints what is required with nice black printing, but both sides of the paper end up with ink smudges, usually a long line where the paper has been dragged through some ink. The printed side also has random splots. I know very little about printers, is this...

The lock came out with ease! I realise now that the locking action of my UPVC doors are part of the door itself. The action of the door handle is the thing that unlocks the door (removes the dead bolts) and the cylinder lock only prevents the door handle being lowered. The-brickie makes a...

Thanks for the hlp Diy_for_fun. Can anybody answer the question about why my back door has a different locking action to the front please? Lynda, I do not understand your moderation comment. You have removed my photo - why?

Eh up DIY'ers, I am watching some barrel locks on ebay at the moment as i would quite like to change my front door lock. I understand that there is a fixing bolt, which I can see in my current f/d. Is it really that simple to just undo the fixing bolt and take the lock out? is it tricky to...

Hello again. I finally got round to starting to lay a shingle drive. I am aiming to lay 100mm of compacted scalpings then 40 - 50 mm of shingle on top. The scalpings will be compacted, i already did a post on this and was pointed at a useful website - i am borrowing a mechanical compactor...

What does Mot mean ?

You still dont think that 100mm of Scalpings packed down + 40 to 50 mm of Shingle is enough ? That was the amount i go t from Paving Expert. If not enough, how much do you think then?

Thanks for the help Thermo. Yes, Wabbitpoo I mistyped. Surley that was obvious, as it would be very difficult to lay 10mm of 40mm Scalpings!

I wish to shingle my lawn in order to park a car. Following on my last post, I have sourced some 40mm Scalpings and some 20mm Shingle. I intend to use 10mm of Scalpings and 5mm of Shingle on top. I dug out a section of earth today and it looks good. Being a modern build I have 150mm of...

Which bit of the yellow pages will i find them under? Should i ring agregate suppliers or hauliers?

Hi Thermo, The calculator on the website takes into account the compacted amount required. I am going to borrow a tool to compact it. You are right about buying it. I am going to ring round a few places once im sure of the amount. (The area is not square, so im hoping ill need less...

Thanks WabbitPoo thats an excellent site. I found the calculator and did the following: 3 x 6 Meters = 18 Square Meters. Sub base to be compaced to a depth of 150mm Calculater says.....5.3 Tonnes. I really was not expecting to need anywhere near that much!! Glad I asked now. To...

Sorry if this should be in Gardening, i couldnt decide... I am going to shingle my front lawn. I will lay down 4 CM of Type 1 hardcore then on top of this i will lay down 4 CM of 20 mm Gravel. The area i am going to do is about 3 M x 6 M. Is 4 Cm per layer about right? (I want to use...

how many different cables enter the box behind the switch ?

Is the mystery switch at a position and height on the wall similar to your other light switches? Are you sure the control is a light switch and not a FCU? A switch has to have a live cable in and another cable that is being switched. Have you actually taken the facia of this switch and...

Sorry mate, you misunderstand. It has nothing to do with these settings. I actually de-selected these upon install. The problem is with MIME content in IE and the fact that Quicktime destroyed my reg settings. I am still sitting here trying to fix the problem and at the moment I have actually...

If you do not have a URL you can not save the file. This forum has produced a URL so you can save it by right cliccking. But if you pasted that URL straight in to the address bar, then Quicktime would take over. Same as if you just click on it. HATE QUICKTIME its ruined my installation.

After disabling the MIME content in Quicktime, The associtaions for all audio and video had stopped working. This is VERY poor of quicktime to destroy my registry settings. I managed to solve my original problem by renaming my Winamp key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File I renamed it, so...
