Hi, I have ordered a bath with a curved front but haven't ordered the plastic panel as the reviews were bad. I intend to make my own out of some form of flexible timber and then cover with Mosaic tiles (300mmx300mm sheets with 12x12 tiles per sheet, glass and stainless random mix) I need...

you can get a small bean bag full material that absorbs moisture. leave it on the dash overnight and hey presto - no misting in the morning. when they have fully absorbed you just pop it in the microwave or the normal oven after you've done the sunday roast and it dries it out ready to use over...

Hi, I'm decorating the hall and sweating my bits off because I can't control the rad unless I steal a TRV head from the spare bedroom. The spare one is a "Concerto" head unit but appears to be a 28mm thread to hold it on. I have a new spare Drayton III TRV but this is 30mm for the head...

So does it have an MOT, Insurance and Tax? Do you check this before you all take it out as the fine and points go on your own licence and not the company boss'.

UBIFLEX - found it...... Accurate Roofing Supplies, Norfolk Road, Gravesend. (down past gordon park, thro' canal basin road and keep going) Its really easy to work with but it does need a couple of pairs of hands to stop it flexing/creasing during offering up.

We've all been sitting outside guarding our lead/copper etc since your post! :D DNA thing is interesting... Yep - apparently it works in the same sort of way as 'smart water'. you buy it in a pot as a glue based paste. It has a unique DNA code in the paste and upto 1000 microdots...

Well I can tell you were all stunned into silence by the news... According to the 'elderly william' ,who turned up this afternoon, I need a product called UBIFLEX. I've had a look at it and it seems ok but the next question is; Where can I buy UBIFLEX in the Dartford/Gravesend/Meopham...

Talk to the council first. changing the garage to a gymnasium is a 'change of usage' and you may need planning permission to do it if you go down the route of installing a wall behind the existing door. There may be covenants on the property specifying that you must provide off road parking...

Guys & Gals, If you live in North Kent this is the sort of thing going on here at the moment. They've already had the copper earth strips off the telegraph poles and have now started on my house!! Any suggestions for repairing the fascia without having to use lead again, which they'll...

Stay away from Thick-Fit. I once witnessed a 'fitter' use a metal faced hammer to refit a set of mini brake drums. (you'd think he would have slackened the adjusters first as part of that job entails..) Recent chats with my local parts shop indicate that rear discs are being MOT failed due to...

Here is a theory. If I use my car for short journeys the fuel gauge shows usage quite normally. If however, I use my car for long journeys (i.e Kent to Cornwall) the fuel gauge is for example only 1/4 full when I get there. Next morning I go to use the car again and the fuel gauge says less...

It's usually the build up of spent friction material on the splines causing the driven plate to stick to the gearbox input shaft. If it was a bent input shaft or broken spring in the driven plate it would happen all the time and not just after the car has been standing. If it was purely...

"new fangled filter". I have a '68 Mini and a '72 GT6 and they both use paper cartridge inserts. What are these things called canisters? Sound like they're a nightmare for generating recycling waste :wink: If you can do this without making a mess - try soaking the new paper element...

or the driven plate could be twisted and your mechanic can't be a*sed to replace it again. Could also be that they didn't replace the pressure plate or that the new one has a weak spring causing it to release unevenly. In some cases heavy handling of the gearbox can result in the bending of...

they also flap in the breeze and eventually rub the paint off the door mirrors. I ended up having to put a pair of old socks over mine to limit the damage. and you'll need to fit an elasticated strap around the b-post line otherwise it billows and comes off on a really windy night. all...

had this on an old mini clubman. it turned out to be the vacuum pipe for the rocker cover was split at he point where it meets the carburettor. It was fine under throttle but when backed off it used to stall unless I blipped the throttle when slowing down. on modern cars the same problem...

did you screw the oil filler cap back on and put the dipstick back in? if these aren't tightly in place you will lose crankcase pressure to the inlet manifold and it will run rough.

when my cars need an MOT and I can't take it myself then I let my independant do the service and MOT in one go to save the downtime on the vehicle. They do not have the capability to do the MOT and therefore have to put it in the local MOT centre. It costs me the MOT charge (fixed by Gov.) and...
