    Stipple Ceiling plastering

    personally i`d take off the high spots with a floor scraper as trowelmonkey advised, but i`d use gyproc bond it instead of pva, or you could just use pva with a handful of sand as thats all it is, and leave it for 24 hrs, then a skim over the top, a mate of mine had this done and it`s still...

    Tarmac driveway repair

    if this was me i`d fill it with sand and cement mix, just pour water in the gap, mix up some dry sand and cement mix, three sand to one cement, then put the dry mix into the gaps and using a pointing tool, push into the gap, the other method to match up with the black tarmac is to use tar...

    02 Mondeo tappet noise??????

    sounds as if it could be a tappet problem, if you get a screwdriver and put it on the rocker cover and then stick your ear on the top of the handle of the screwdriver you`ll be able to hear where the noise is coming from, much like using it as a stethoscope, i belive they are hydralic tappets on...

    Complete beginner needing advice

    hey zoe, i think the wall paper strips would be ok, but i would go with vertical, but this is just my preference....happy paper hanging, let us know how you get on, and maybe zampa`s idea of a wavy line would be a good one if you can`t get the lines straight.

    Black mould on bathroom ceiling

    i agree that you need some type of ventilation in your bathroom, other wise the mold will just return, giving it a clean with mold remover is a step in the right direction, get as much of it off as you can, and i`d advise buying some expensive kitchen and bathroom paint, most of these are mold...

    Complete beginner needing advice

    i would definatly go with white so as not to close the room in too much, bearing in mind it won`t stay brilliant white if you smoke or have kids etc etc, another good feature is on the black wall about 6 to 12 inchs in from the corner paint a vertical white line, and on the white wall with the...

    Coving questions

    i`ve used plaster cornice and the finish is a 100% better than the poly my grandad used, but be careful when mitreing the corners, they aren`t 90 degrees like skirting board, but you get a awesome little device called a cornice cutter, you can buy one for coving to, it`s just a v shaped metal...

    servis washing machine problems

    firstly i`d eliminate the problem of the socket it`s plugged into, use your hair dryer or radio or something to make sure there is power coming out of the socket, where did you get the fuse from, try a fuse from something that is working to be sure the fuse is ok, if all this points back to the...

    horns usually do work when you put pressure on them, as for the airbag light nissans are usually good with their srs systems, check the seat belt pre-tentioners, where your seat belt clips into, if one is lower than the other one of them has been activated, if they are both at the same level...

    OMEGA PERIODIC PROBLEM

    my advice to you is to take it to a non-dealer with a diagnostic machine to read what fault codes are being read, should cost about an hours labour, even though it will take 10 mins, but it`ll point you in the right direction, could be manifold pressure sensor, air flow meter or something like...
