I hope you have not paid them. Then they should come back soon. You can use expanding foam - I would. The foam insulates. Otherwise you will have lots of cold spots. The long plastic nozzle will get in there, just crack the plaster off a little. Use water from a spray bottle to control the...

Now that the heating is going back on, one raditor does not want to play. After the winter I usually leave all the TRVs on full open. When I switched the heating back on, ALL the raditors were warming up as mormal. I then turn the TRVs to the position adequate for the rooms. After that one...

I am not reluctant at all. I had the old throttle cable free once the bike was apart, but the only way to feed anything over is from the trottle body upwards and that only becomes visible when everything is off. While the adapter - for which I wanted the replacement - is only about 6mm in...

Hello, I am not sure where to post this. In electrical, General... I am looking for a replacement for a rubber cable "protection". This rubber sleeve is sitting around the cable length adapter on a throttle cable on my Breva 1100. The rubber sleeve has degraded and pretty much perished. I...

Are you trying to point out that maths is not your strong point?

I do not see many posts in this thread stating that they hate the UK. To disagree with a pretty corrupt system is not the same as hating. You will probably also find that some of the people in power were shouting even louder if this kind of behaviour and governing came from a labour government...

I do not know how the other or any other party or group of advisers want to fix this mess now. All that you gained so far and probably for the foreseeable future that you are not talking on eye level with the EU countries but starting right at the back of the petition queue, waiting for your...

Mottie, Eyes wide shut.

Not everybody is confident with the soldering iron. I would solder and use heat shrink tubing. Your solution with low temp solder tubes is more elegant though.

If this is a Brexit debate now I might just add that I work in a hospital and we are closing wards, cancelling theatre lists and not doing operations because many continental european staff members have been and are still being fobbed off by this and have gone already or are openly discussing to...

In our hot water solar system we have a "pressure" release valve, although the system is not really running high pressures. Anyway as the system is 18years old, we had/have some grit from decayed antifreeze in the system. The antifreeze is replaced and clear again and the system was flushed...

Our local locksmith "keyed" a lock so that our main door key opened the new lock. I think he chnged the little pins inside, so I guess they can just key some to your needs.

In our extraction hood lights we have 2 G4 bulbs. They both went within a short period. As I could not buy halogens a while back I bought replacement LED G4s. When I put the LEDs - which had some kind of circuit board and lots of little SMDs in a transparent gel shape - into the hood lights and...

The Shrader valve was back in...

Do the swiss have lots of deaths from electrocution? Is it that unsafe or just different? When we moved into our 4 bed house we had 4 very old fashioned blade fuses for the lot and a lot of the wiring was more cowboy than I could ever do it.

I thought before the vessel goes to the tip I try to pressurise again. I removed the valve with a Shrader removal tool which was fine. Then used an electric compressor. The needle quickly shot up to 8bar and the compressor was getting to the cut out. There was no air escapingat all and no...

I am doing our fence. We inherited it when we moved in and it is in need of TLC. We have concrete posts CONCRETED in big way and I am not going to touch them even though they are wonky and sadly the people who placed them were either ****ed or held the spirit level and the tape measures...

We have a humidistat fan which only comes on with the moisture / steam from a shower. It has an overrun timer and would switch off at a set lower humidity. We have our window tilted when we have a shower. This bathroom is en-suite and the fan is quiet enough not to be annoying at night.

I managed to get a replacement locally. After taking the old one off I found the reason why I could not drain it. Under the weight of 18L of water it had sagged and kinked the flexi hose on the shelf underneath enough to stop it draining. Even when it was completely empty it would not pump. The...

I had the water turned off at the inflow, taps open and even used the pressure release to drain the water. I have a service valve in line from the cylinder to the vessel. When I close off the cylinder end and try to drain the vessel, nothing leaks back. Even trying to pump at the same time does...
