Hi Tony Poor old chap was confused to say the least. I intended to check the pump myself so I rang him to make sure if he is at home. He then told me he has had a guy fit new pump last week. The scum charged him £175 for changing a pump and left. I think chappy got ripped off. Any way he is...

Hi All I have a 120cm FLOATING rug in my dining room. This thing drives me mad. I bought this rug from IKEA last year when I had new carpet fitted. I bought a mesh like underlay for this purpose but it doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to stop rug floating about. It moves to one...

Hi Tony reporting that engineer has been and he fixed my mates boiler. The problem was return side pump valve was closed. He charged my friend £50 call out. I didn't know that my friend got some engineer last week to repair his boiler and he fitted a new pump. Your diagnostics is spot on...

Hi Tony If it's pump thats playing up then I have a little used pump removed from my old boiler before I upgraded to combi. Another engineer is coming this afternoon. He said he'll do the repairs at reasonable cost depending what he finds. I'll let you know.

Hi Tony Thanks for your response my friend. I felt sorry for my friend for not having enough money to pay for repairs. As of your diagnostics this gives clear indication of what to expect. I had one engineer over he said to repair boiler cost will be £300 plus parts. I think this guy tried...

Hi All Back again after a long absence. A pensioner friend of mine has a potterton Kingfisher MF free standing boiler. This boiler is 8-9 year old I am told and been trouble free. As of last 3 days the boiler is a pain in that it fires for 2-3 minutes and stops. Could my knowlegable...

Hi "justlead1" You are absolutely right about the "wood Roll". To be honest I didn't know why this thing has been there. This wood roll isn't on neighbours bay roof. Is there anything I can do or is it I need a lead person.

Hi "badgercheif" The lead has had some holes in and have been bodged I guess. I would like to do a effective lasting repair. Any suggestions.

Hi All Back again to seek advice. My bedroom bay window having flat roof has a leak. Luckily my other half spotted it and put a container under it to catch the drips. I couldn't get near it for the snow. Yesterday I got chance to check the leak. I have done a temporary repair but I would...

Hi all Picked up my new GSB 18VE-2 drill yesterday. It does "Flash" but not as much as my previous drill did. It is a much better machine than my makita which suffered with clutch slip. It did annoy me sometimes. As of lately it's drive has gone into permanent clutch slip. Time for it be...

Hi"R5GTT" Thank you all for your kind response. The dealer has offered to take the drill back and get me a new one. He said he has ordered it from Bosch UK and I can pick it up on monday. He did agree after seeing the drill to be flashing as he called it to be excessive. I will report...

Hi"rocks1" Managed to gain excess through pump filter cap. You are right the impellor didn't spin. I went further to take front panel off. Bingo draining and removing pump was a doodle. Looked in yellow pages for washing machine parts. Found one about three miles away. Got new pump cost...

Hi All Bought a brand new 18V bosch drill. Trying drill it flashes when depress trigger. Spoken to Bosch Service they say its normal and its happening because the motor goes into reverse polarity when stopping. Keep using the drill for a while let the brushes bed in the flashing will...

Hi "rocks1" Checked outlet and pump filter both not blocked and quite clean. Couldn't avoid spilling water on floor. Found a drain tube about 300 mm long attached to pump body. Would have been so easy to drain through the tube. I put it down to lack of experiance. How do I check if the pump...
