I'm, in need of more help!!!!!!! I hope masona and noseall are reading this. Just checking I've followed your instructions correctly rather than c....up good 100 x 50 timber by cutting the ends and bridsmouth wrong. Good one noseall I would have cut them as I made them and probably ended...

Ok I type it in lower case check your title deeds for drainage responsability or contact your local land registry office. you can get downloads of deeds off the internet but you must have the title deed number. check with the water company that you're not being charged for surface water...

Funny I had that on my cortina several yrs ago and it turned out to be the alternator. I was told where the old dynamo vehicles had a separate 'voltage regulator and cut out ' the alternators have them build in to regulate the flow as required. It may be faulty so draining the battery. Check...

Many thanks to you both it's going to make the job easier.

with out harping on what I am doing has anyone any idea how to gauge the length of a rafter set at 35deg on my proposed porch roof, and where the birdsmouth should be cut along the rafter. Depth of porch 1m from house to outside porch wall. Or will the rafter measure be an on site job? The...

I have a leaking cast iron type [the very old ones] radiator. it's a pinhole leak. Would vehicle radiator radweld sealing fluid be suitable to put in the rad. I thought of removing the rad plugging one end and inserting the fluid in t,other end and then connecting a hose to it to put it under...

My thoughts on that sealant tape you eventually used can't be printed. I'll be suprised if the tape lasts all summer if the suns on it all day it dries out something rotten and starts lifting. I have always used the 'flashband' alluminium foil bitumen based. Use always with the primer and...

I assume you mean to insulate between the rafters because the roof has no underfelt. From what I've been told it's ok to insulate between the rafters but not box the rafters in with insulation. As far as the insulation between the ceiling joists that's ok to as long as the eaves are not...

Are GATSO fixed speed cameras situated on a hill illegal? The one I was caught on back in Oct 05 at 38mph has now been removed and only the post remains, it has not been vandalized greengrass

Most likely I'm too late but I contacted fords when I had that problem and was told to remove the central locking fuse from the box under dash then as you are doing now lock independantly. Point of posting if you haven't fixed it yet and haven't a manual phone you local library yes that's...

Doesn't work even in court unless the magistrate is on your side or you have a title or some other 'clout'.

No change except the electronic ingintion and fuel injection on newer cars glad you've solved it though as sometimes a misfire is a b....r to find.

You may find it is on the same fuse as the central locking and if you say it's electric then removing the fuse that feeds it will or should revert it to manual operation. You can then retrieve your keys. Ask local dealer of Fords but try first as they might be looking for work.

B...y hell you are ham fisted. Before doing any removals Get a wire coat hanger and tape about 6inches of the end form a hook and fish it up work it back through the seating gap. if it works all well and good. But however you do it don't be so b....y heavy handed. Other than that it's...

You first need to find out what is causing the leak before hand then you might not have to re-felt. Foaming as has been said smothers the timbers and causes eventually dry rot, and wet rot where the un-attended leak will be. Unfortunately it's a roofers job and expensive. My answer would be...

:roll: I said I didn't wanna waffle but for some I have to. Thanks for your replies good and bad. It was a static GATSO camera and the NIP came in followed by the charge with no indication of the conviction code. SP80 does not exist. And I have a photo copy of the pictures without an...

The whole trouble is this government is looking at costs rather than public safety. Let's all vote for a party who brings back execution when their is no element of doubt. Some judges do live on another planet when they dish out sentences. I can't say what I think about some parole board...

:( I don't want to waffle on so i'll make it short as possible. In a momentarily lapse in concentrating on my speed whilst towing my caravan through a narrow village I received a Speeding fine for 38mph in 30mph zone. My first in 40yrs of careful and considerate driving. :( Paid it and...
