thanks for the reply. Looks like i'm going to need a new light fitting!

thanks for the replies lads. I've disconnected the faulty choke and simply capped off the two cables that were coming out of it, using insulating tape. When i try the light switches, it no longer cuts of the power so thats one thing sorted! however I've then tried fitting one tube to the...

Got my car back, sadly it turns out it is the timing chain! Giy said its stretched! Oh dear lord! However mechanic says its not worth changing it, but better to simply get the tensioners changed. What that means i dont know, but he says he will charge 350 parts and labour. Another garage...

thanks for reply. I took car in to garage and the guy said it appeared to be the crankshaft sensor that was causing the faults. He changed that to a new one, charged me £120 parts and labour, but now its the same thing again. He says it may be the CAT thats cracked, hes going to check this...

thanks for the reply lads. I've taken the cover off the light fitting and taken some pics. You can see one part, im guessing the transformer, looks slightly burnt, as the other similar part looks fine. I this simply a case of a new fitting? Is their any way i can check this is the case...

hi all, was hoping to get some advice from the experts! Last week my double 4ft tube lights went in the kitchen. So i changed the tubes and the starter motors for both tubes, and the light worked fine for 2 days. Then one tube stopped working. OK, not a problem, 1 tube is enough. But then...

I changed my own Mira shower a few months back. The connections were straight forward, relatively easy job, but just make sure when you fit the compression elbow onto the plastic pipe, push it all the way in. Sometimes you need to give it a bit of a strong push to get it fully in all the way...

Hi guys, my kitchen tube lights are flickering like crazy and wont light up. Its a double tube, 4 foot long. They are about 6 years old. Both tubes flicker on and off, kitchen looks like a nightclub, but the lights just wont stay on. Ive never fit one of these so have no idea what could be...

what a farce. They protested to oust Mubarak and get democracy. They held free and fair elections, and Morsi won. Now the losers from the election cause a hoohaa and get Morsi overthrown by the military in a coup. Its clear democracy is not for the Egyptian people. The majority voted for...

depending on boiler it can be relatively straightforward. However because the appliance is a gas appliance, it would be illegal for you to work on it, even if you are not working on the gas pipework/connections within the boiler. I may be wrong but I have a cope of gas safe regs and they state...

thanks guys. I cleared the codes and the misfire wasn't as bad, in fact it seemed to be running ok for a day, much better then before. but then when I went on a 2 hour journey the engine light came back on and the shaking started again. I noticed the shaking seems to be worse when I push the...

Hi all, went to a mates rental property today as tenant complaining about a bizzare problem. Its a first floor flat, with bathroom kitchen on same floor. Washing machine is next to wall on other side of bathroom. Now the washing machine waste pipe is a 32mm pipe, which comes through the wall...
