I want to fit a Dewenwils light switch kit as a 2 way system instead of wiring in an extra switch. I have found that the receiver is bigger than I anticipated. The receiver will not fit inside my existing light fitting and the existing wall switch is a switched live plus earth only, so I would...

Output from my D.A.C (Prozor 192kHz) to my HiFi (Technics SA-EX120 AV) is low, meaning I have to turn the volume on the HiFi up very high to get any decent sound from the HiFi. This happens using Either optical or Bluetooth input to the D.A.C and the volume on the D.A.C at full volume. Would it...

I want to install the O.N.T to save time when hopefully they return, (it's only 2 screws). My question is how close to the...

I had a garage conversion done a few years ago and I have now noticed that the sockets on this circuit appear to be covered by a 16 Amp circuit breaker. Is this a radial circuit and if so, is there a limit to how many sockets can be connected to it?

To make sure my heating is running efficiently I have bled the air from all of my radiators. I also want to bleed any air from the pipework in the loft. I was able to bleed air from one of the pipes, (either the feed or return) but despite fully opening the other valve no air or water came out...

As I do not use windows, I am trying to watch Chili TV & Rakuten TV using android-x86 on my HP255 laptop. Despite installing the necessary apps I can not watch the content. I assume this is because of DRM. It has been suggested to include DRM libs from fugu...

I have replaced the compression washer valve on my bathroom hot tap many times. The hot tap only lasts about a year before needing replacing again. The hot tap will jam up especially if it is already hot, making it very difficult to get any water out. Repeatedly turning on & off helps a bit...
