My solid wooden front door has swelled, now the weather has turned damp, and I am finding it very very difficult to open and close it. Is there anything I can do to ease the swelling, or should I just fit a bigger handle and wait for spring!? Would planing off the swollen bits on the door...

No it doesn't have a temp control on the boiler, its set on the PCB I think. I dont have any TRV's just a room Stat and in the living room - the room with the biggest radiator in.

This may be a stupid question but here goes. Glow worm swift flow 80 in small one bed flat with three small and one large radiator. I changed the by pass gate valve at the weekend because it was leaking. Before I put the new valve on I made sure the "gate" was at the same setting as the...

If you buy the vision box of ebay all you are buying really is a hard disk freeview receiver/recorder. You can watch, pause, record live freeview. To use the added extras that the v box gives you - loads of films, tv shows etc to download very quickly and easily - you have to sign up for...

Well known brand. Shouldn't be any problems.

Sounds like the element has broken. Happened to my mums dishwasher. After getting an electrician to come diagnose, buy the part (two weeks wait), then fit it, it cost nearly £300 in the end. The machine only cost £250 to begin with. In the mean time, why not kick it back old school and...

I would do the following: 1: avoid kwik fit. too expensive. 2. visit www.blackcircles.com and look at the cheap tyres on offer there. 3. Go through the process of buying the tyres and when it gives you the garage choice to book you car into, give them a ring and see if they do tracking...

Sorry I wasn't dismissing your knowledge, but i still needed someone to come out and fix the problem, which I was hoping this company would do. Cost is always a bit of a shock never-the-less!! I think I will have a go. I have the service manual with all the instructions on how to do it...

Update: I put the pressure up to just over 1 bar and it still didn't work. But then in the evening it did! A corgi man came round today and had a look. After tapping the flow switch with his screw driver and the boiler fireing up then stopping then fireing, he said the flow switch was...

Ok thanks. I set the pressure to 0.7 bar because thats what the manual said it should be set at. I better get on the phone to someone then.

I recently moved into a one bed flat which has quite an old (1993) Glow worm Swift flow 80 boiler. I noticed that the pressure gauge had gone down to 0.5 bar today when I came home. Since moving in in July the pressure has been at 0.7 bar and never dropped below this and I cant see any leaks...

Check that the games will work by doing a search online. I'm sure I heard somewhere that the games are a bit like regions on dvds. So UK games wont work on US consoles. I could be completely wrong though as I cant remember where I heard it! :D

Well, A modern diesel is best for economy. A Big engined petrol is better for performance. And anything japanese, or german is pretty good for reliability. Peugeot and Citreon diesels are great for engine reliability and very economical but they are not the fastest cars and they doi have...

I would be interested in this too, since I have a glow worm swift flow 80 and have the same marks running down the wall. I was just told its condensation, which I can understand, but dont understand whys its black and dirty.

Being asked to change a fridge lightbulb by my dad. Opened the door stuck my hand in and couldn't feel the bulb so stuck my fingers in further. OUCH! Dad negleted to tell me he had removed the old bulb already. I hate being shocked! Feels like thousands of tiny teeth nibbling at you very...

Mild steel exhausts(mufflers) rust full stop (period). Usually you get about 2 years worth of life out of them maybe more, maybe less. Eventually they will rust through - usually from the inside out! One of the products of combustion is water, which will help to rust the exhaust from the...

No, I own the flat. The previous owner was a landlord and had rented the flat out for 3 years. I have three years of service cetificates for the boiler so hoped it would be in good nick. I did find a very old AAV thrown ontop of a kitchen cupboard so hope a new one has been fitted at some...

Hi, I recently moved into a ground floor flat. It was built in 1993 and I think the combi boiler is the one that was installed when the flat was built. It is a Glow worm swift flow 80, connected to 4 small and one large radiator. So far its performed great! There is loads of pressure...

Firstly what car, engine year etc... This could be carb icing now the weather has turned a bit cold and damp. You may still have the air filter set on summer position - there could be a leaver on the air inlet hose which can be turned so that it takes air heated by the exhaust and so will be...

Yeah, if you take all the trim off the inside of the door - you will probably need to do this anyway if replacing the soor so it matches - you might be able to just push the dent out yourself with your hands or your feet when lying on the front seat. Get a haynes and get tinckering. Learning...
