    Ceiling PIR light switch query.

    Yes. Extractor fans only consume 20W and lights only 8W so well within the switching capability of the PIR unit.

    Can you help identify this shower door roller?

    Can you make the bit you need by glueing plastic tube or washers together? Even if you could find that bit it would probably cost a bomb! Look at this: http://www.showerdoorrollers.co.uk/page3.htm

    Should Torque Limiter Engage on Makita Drilling a Core Hole

    I think you've reached your drill's limit. There's nothing wrong with it. Happens on my basic Makita SDS+ drill when drilling 12mm holes into brick. Click here http://www.makitauk.com/products/drills/hammer-drills.html and you'll see that Makita only makes one drill that can drill...

    Masthead amp rip off - anything i can do ?

    When was digital switchover in your area? Wouldn't the problems have started that very same day? It may be water ingress or a damaged aerial. Also, check your signal strength here: http://www.wolfbane.com/cgi-bin/tvd.exe?MAP=661,936 Other ideas: check the signal with a portable aerial...

    Minerva 3-in-1 kettle tap

    Seeing as it's costing a £1000 I would change every six months to start with. After that I would examine them closely to see how clogged they are. Maybe the filters can be soaked in vinegar and reused? Also the heating tank part uses about £40 of electricity in standby mode a year.

    economy 7 timer

    In 2008 I lived in a flat with economy 10 electricity. The storage heaters and immersion heater would only work for 10 hours a night. The timer switch was a sealed unit owned by the elctricity company. The cost was 6p night and 33p day per kWh.

    Hanging pictures and cracked plasterboard

    Does the plaster sound hollow when tapped? If so, it's coming off the wall. No always a problem though.

    TF1 magnetic filter, noisy

    My TF1 is quiet. Has yours always been noisy? What about when the heating is on? You say you've bled the system. Is it a sealed system? Did you top it with water? If so is the pressure correct both on the boiler and in the airing cupboard?

    Scaffolding

    You probably won't get much through court. I'd sell the scaffolding. Is it a scaffold tower? Like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Abru-50005-DIY-Access-Tower/dp/B005OV98IA/ref=sr_1_3?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1370682283&sr=1-3&keywords=scaffold+towers Have a look on ebay for used prices.

    Triax Digi 14 (TV aerial with 4G LTE filter)

    It's a V10-28L and it's in the loft. The aerial is looped through in the normal way. No filter installed. What I don't get is why my Samsung TV says 100% signal quality on UHF60 but my Panasonic recorder says 0% (80% on UHF56 and 60% on UHF58). Maybe there's a passive splitter inside...

    Triax Digi 14 (TV aerial with 4G LTE filter)

    I've installed that aerial. Now my TV receives everything 100% on all channels. But my recorder can't receive the highest frequency, UHF60. Any ideas? I wish I had a spectrum analyser!

    Widening Chimney breast space..lintel width

    The first thing to do is remove that plywood and some plasterwork to ascertain the structure. Is it 6.5 bricks wide? How thick's the plasterwork? Both sides need double bricks, so the opening will be: total width (1520) minus two bricks lengths (216 x 2) equals 1088. Or you could have...
