Excellent! Thanks very much. The milky bars are on me!!!!

I've had a local corgi out to this -- but since he can't find a wiring diagram anywhere, I fear he's done a bit of a bodge job. Does anyone know where to find one?

I've worked on pretty much everything I've ever laid my hands on, but I've always stayed away from boilers fro 2 reasons. The first is it's my first house so I've never had reason to. 2nd is gas scares me a little, I'm good with wires -- but if I can't see it I'm a little weary. I do think I...

Firstly, 256mb of ram is not really enough to be doing any sort of gaming with I would look at your upgrade options to try and get a little bit more performance out of it. My next concern is the squeaking sound. Does it sound like its coming from a part in the laptop or is it comes out of the...

Ah, that makes sense with the clicking I heard. I assume this basically kept telling the boiling one thing, shorting out and telling it another. Is it possible this is an isolated problem or will it have knackered something else in the process? I called Heateam but they said they only cover...

It doesn't appear to be mounted on a PCB. It seems like a screw in unit with a fitted cap / power lead on the top (which is the melted part) - sort of like the leads you'd fit to the top of the spark plug in a car. I'm obviously not going to attempt a swap myself, but as far as I can see nothing...

Thanks for the reply! An Update! I isolated all the power, water and gas and took the front cover off. This led me to the source of the smell and "sparking". It's what looks like an oversized,blue, spark plug, with a copper feed going into the bottom and power going into the top. I assume...

Last night the boiler in our recently acquired house starting making quite a lot of clicking noise, even when no hot water was being pulled. I put it onto hot water only setting and went off to bed. This morning I woke to the smell of electric boards not being happy and the sound of...

1. Start Excel. 2. Before you type fractions in cells, pre-format the group of cells that need to be displayed as fractions. Select the cells where you want to enter fractions, and then on the Format menu, click Cells. 3. In the Category list, click Fraction and then, from the list...

Not right now. It's a terrace with only a yard so no mowing, thankfully. I also clean the car at the local garage, so I'm pretty sure I've no foreseeable need to supply an outdoor device.

Sorry yes, I got my words tied a little. What I was trying to imply is that maybe the person (likey to be an investor from what I've tracked down) rewired the place, put in a CU and found a fault -- so thought F*&K it and put the Wylex back in. I just don't really see the logic in spending so...

I've just bought a house that I suspect was rewired approx 3 years ago. I've checked the cabling behind sockets and light switches and it's all thick, grey shielded cabling -- which I've been told is at least semi-modern. My issue starts with the fusebox. It's an old Wylex one, with 6...

I've just moved into my first house and there is a small untily cupboard that allows a dryer or a washing machine. Is it possible to stack these on one another? If so, I assume the washing machine should go on the bottom, due to the spin cycle....any advice would be great!
