Hi, had the same problem myself many years ago. I used a 'polyfilla' type powder mixed with a liquid to make a stiff paste that was well pushed into the crack. The liquid was a blend of ½ water and ½ a PVA builders type adhesive, well mixture before adding to the powder. The resulting mix when...

Wow, this brings back memories of my youth, when I made a stereo record player, encased in an home made wooden case, speakers mounted into mahogany boxes, woofers, tweeters, midrange, Xover units etc. Two amps, pre-amps, power supply, bass, treble, balance controls etc. My Beatles LP's and...

Looks like two different woods to me teak / mahogany(sapele), very difficult to match the two. Best of luck

Using W= I x V and R = V/R Your readings calculate at 94 ohms, 27 ohms and 21 ohms respectively. (Not too far from your readings). However this does NOT take into account the temperature of the elements which increases the resistance as the elements get hotter. But if your RCD is tripping...

Could the power point be re-sited, and the filter moved to the freed location, a position lower left of the boiler, pipework rerouted of course?

Hi, this might be useful to tidy the cut, Soil pipe collar- https://www.screwfix.com/search?search=110mm+pipe+collar

If you are local to Mansfield/Nottingham these are the experts, not used them for the past 10 years, but they could repair all types of alu windows. There are probably many other companies offering a similar service. Regards https://edwardsmetalwindows.co.uk/

Hi, If it helps, I used a Mira jump to replace an earlier broken electric shower. It's a little larger than usual ones so it's able to cover existing holes. Power connections are both left and right, water connections are top/bottom or right/left. Shop around for a better price, also different...

Hi, I like brighter headlight bulbs with living in a semi-rural location. I have found Osram Night Breaker 200 to be good choice, and still 55watts, claiming brighter, longer distance, etc. It does state that lifetime will be shorter as the bulb runs hotter. The link below gives more info...

As you have discovered steps of unequal tread and riser are dangerous and non-compliant. As a temporary measure, securely fix timber to increase the height of the middle step, so that they are all equal. If the stairs are then safe and easier to use, a more permanent and neater solution can be...

Would one of the following help? https://www.screwfix.com/search?search=wallpaper+stripper

There will be an outlet on the smaller tank, otherwise the tank serves no purpose! The higher white pipe is the overflow/warning pipe. I think I can see an outlet pipe near the bottom of the tank, below the white overflow tank. A torch or feeling for it might confirm. PS, you will also need to...

Had a similar problem at my house, as the downstairs warmed up the rising heat up the stairway hit the upstairs thermostat and turned off the upper heating. The solution was to re-site the upper thermostat. Moved it from the landing to the master bedroom, and the rad in this room is always set...

Could we see pics of the new 'more efficient rads' please. Did the heating work downstairs prior to your new rads being installed? Try turning off the Towel Rail - any improvements? Is most of the main pipe work in the airing cupboard in 15mm or 22mm? If only 15mm could explain the poor flow.

As JohnD says, adjust the flow to the hot rads. Small rads ie Bathroom, Cloakroom etc will need the lockshield valve opened (from closed position) by a mere fraction, maybe just an 1/8th.

Looks much like a partial blocked sewer pipe. Lift all manhole covers, Flush the toilet - helper needed, use a piece of toilet tissue for identity, Look at the flow in each manhole, Hopefully you will detect the problem, or at least find the manhole that the toilet drains into, then rod that...

Remove the link wire, what happens now? Lights OK?

Birds will start nesting in late spring, therefore pruning needs to done by then. Defra rules (for farmers), NO hedgerow cutting from 1st March to 31st September. So if you need to prune, you have the next 4 months available. Will avoid nesting. We have been investigating recently as we...
