Any ideas anyone? I'm not too good with the marigolds on!

Hi Our Indesit D41 dishwasher has not been cleaning the top tray very well over the past few weeks. I had a look at it last week and noticed that the seal which seals the rotating arm to the water feed as a part of the top tray seemed to be a bit worn. I cleaned it out and re-tightened it...

Job done. All sorted. Many thanks to all of you have helped out on this one. Long live diynot.com!

Right. Well at least my alarm isn't haunting the neighbours after the power up. Down side is it's only the panel that seems to have any power to it. The display say 'Low Batt' and none of the movement sensors seem to be working either. Fuse maybe? I've taken the alarm box cover off and...

Why do you say wind up Europlex? I am sorry if you feel that you have had a go at everything there is to possibly do. It must be great to be able to go feet first into everything. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it's not too open minded to think that everything that comes easy to...

Right then. This junction box option might need to come into play here. Honestly, I'm usually pretty good at picking things up and doing things around the house. However, it seems as though soldering is currently getting the better of me. I've now tried 10 time to solder one of the 5 wires...

Thanks again guys. Bought all the kit and going to try and do it tonight...but not power the alarm back up until tomorro for obvious reasons. Just one thing, and again excuse my electrical ignorance, if I am shrinking the sheath over the wire does it still need to be soldered or can it be...

Cheers Josh, very helpful thank you. Does the tubing need to be shrunk on with a flame gun or will a hairdryer suffice? Didn't want to fork out for a flame gun if I didn't have to. Thanks again

Thanks again for the help and advice guys, much appreciated. I've just stripped back the core and there are 6 wires inside of it (red, green, black, white, yellow & blue). All have been cut except the red one. It looks pretty easy to solder them I agree. Thing is, how do I make sure that...

Thanks for the advice. Doesn't sound too easy mind, I'll give it a crack. I think I understand most of what you have said. Is there any way of connecting the wires back up without soldering them. Say using a junction box (or whatever they're called) and lining up each wire that way? I'm...

I've been a right muppet and severed one of the wires which leads from a room sensor to the alarm box. When I did it last night all hell broke loose and the full house alarm was going off for about half an hour at 10pm! I've never worked with alarms in the past. I've noticed that the...

Now that my 14 month garden project is finished, I want to grow some produce in it. The area to grow isn't that big, maybe 4 or 5 square metres in area in different sizes. I would like to start growing the odd bit of veg and herbs maybe with my little 'un. Any pointers as to what we can...

As the post title says really! If so is it just a case of polythene sheeting?

Thanks a lot, reallly appreciate that. I was quoted around £75 per bag of loam, and I reckon I'd need three bags. Are you basically saying that I shouldn't bother doing anything until the soil has dried out a bit? Also, would I need to rotivate the area or just rake out the lumpy bits...

Right. Have finally shifted by hand the 8 tonne of soil over the weekend and I'm getting somewhere near level. A few questions: - 1. How do I actually get it level? It's very lumpy at the minute and quite wet and boggy after the rain over the weekend 2. Do I roll this level before I...

Ta Have mentioned before that one side of the garden is really good soil, and one side is very much full of clay. Almost like a sludge after the rain this weekend. It looks like I'm on track as I've dug down further that side to build it back up with topsoil, I've also mixed in a fair bit...
