    Chilean potato tree toxic advice

    We have been bought a chilean potato tree (Solanum crispum Glasnevin) as a present for our garden. It is labelled as harmful if eaten. Does anyone know how harmful as I can't easily find anything on the Web. My concern is we have a 13 month old daughter so if it is highly toxic I may avoid...

    Levelling Lawn for turfing and drainage

    The soil in my back garden contains a lot (read mostly) clay. In the summer it gets really dry and cracked, ion the winter it doesn't drain well. I think this is in part due to the fact that it's not very level and is very slightly concave so our garden probably acts as the drain for our...

    Confessions on TV?????

    I heard / saw an article that claimed that the current training the men receive is to comply with the capturers requests nothing more, nothing less so that it can be deduced what the caputeres are asking the hostages to do. I inferred from this that the captives would not go on TV describing...

    PSU or MB? Won't start!

    Agreed, PSU most likely fault Had the same symptoms on an evesham machine once, basically pot luck as to whether hitting the on switch would yield any response at all or result in a normal boot up. Was under warranty and they came and fitted a new (higher rating as that was all the chap had...

    Window won't find CD-ROM drive

    Fixed in the end. One repaired XP installation later plus a lot of swearing when trying to change the drivers resulted in complete failure to boot. In the end had to update the SCSI / IDE controller driver (no rollback option) and manually choose the standard windows XP installation version...

    Wireless connection stuck on "acquiring network address

    This may not be much help ... apologies in advance. I have had this problem - or very similar - in the past but I can't really remember the details. I think the problem was largely that windows and the configuration utility provided by the manufacturer kept battling to take control of...

    Web hosting with web-mania.

    I'm not 100% sure but I believe different browsers may look at different pages. My hosting came with at least 3 default pages: index.html index.htm default.htm all of which I set the content to be my index page. I'll have a scan tonight when I get home to see if there are any others...

    Web hosting with web-mania.

    Hi Tony, You should be able to manage your domain names to point at different locations on the server. For example I use hosted as my provider and under the control panel that I can log in to to manage my domain names and hosting space I get an option to set the root location for the...

    Window won't find CD-ROM drive

    Thanks for the reply. That wasn't really an acceptable option as I wanted to be running with the latest chipset drivers. In the end I fixed the problem with the following series of events (others may find this useful if they had the same problem). 1) Unplugged CD-ROM and booted windows...

    Window won't find CD-ROM drive

    I have just built a new PC. Everything was cool, installed windows ok so CD-ROM was working fine. Then installed chipset drivers that came with the motherboard and now my CD-ROM is not recognised by Windows. The CD-ROM is about 6 yrs old and came from my previous PC. I presume the jumper...

    BT Broadband disappointment.

    I have BT at home also and found the BT software VERY difficult to work with and have since removed it from my laptop. It seems to be a common cause of problems when too many applications start sticking their ore into what the wireless connection should be doing.

    IE 7

    I found that IE7 prevented me from logging in as admin to the home hub preventing me from changing the wireless LAN settings. I had to download firefox and configure the hub through that instead. (This was after I had spent about 1hr downloading and installing patches and updates connected...

    Boiler not firing

    Maybe they do both then? I have a Gloworm Ultimate at home which is not a permanent pilot light as I went through the swapping solenoids route to try and diagnose the same problem as the OP is having. Bizzarely swapping the solenoids fixed the boiler and it's still going string now (maybe a...

    Boiler not firing

    Would hazard a guess that the click may be a relay switching the 240v on? Try doing the swap of main valve and pilot valve solenoids (as discussed in the other thread) to see if it is a solenoid problem. If the solenoid has failed then after the swap the pilot light should not ignite when...

    Glow worm Ultimate lighting problem

    I had a similar problem on my Gloworm ultimate only it was the main gas valve not the pilot that wasn't lighting. Swapping the main valve and pilot solenoids over fixed the problem (bizarrely - maybe it was just a loose contact) but you could try this and afterwards if your pilot lights but...

    How do i regulate the water temperature of my boiler?

    You are correct about tank and cylinder An immersion heater is basically a big electric heating element which sits in the hot water cylinder and heats the water. The thermostat on the heater controls the temperature of the water. It sounds like you have an immersion heater by the way you...

    OVERFLOW driving us insane!!!

    Guys, I'm not a plumber so forgive any ignorance here... If this is the case then the mains cold is pushing back through the cylinder and up into the storage tank? From what I remember the feed pipe from the top of the cylinder is generally hot at point of exit from the cylinder due to...
