    51 VW Golf fuse blowing problem.

    I used to think the same about Skoda's until I bought my VRS. I love it - excellent value and performance for the money. I can put up with the P**s taking :D

    The same fuse keeps blowing on my Skoda Octavia , which is the same platform as the golf. I have yet to find out why it keeps doing it.

    Regs for flat lead roofs

    Right - I've spoken to http://www.leadsheetassociation.org.uk/ and what the roofer had done is correct. If the roof is below 11 deg pitch (mine is) a 50mm or 55mm step has to be put in. The distance it has to be put in depends on the code of lead used. My roofer is using code 6 lead to the...

    Regs for flat lead roofs

    I'm not sure what the joints are - All I can tell you the corners are neatly welded!! The scaffolding is down now so I can't check. I don't doubt the quality of the roofers work , I just don't like the blasted step :( Just to make it clear the roof is vitually horizontal , not a steep...

    Regs for flat lead roofs

    It is an actual step. The roof fall is from right to left. Approx half way the roof steps down. The "hump" I think you are referring to are there as well. Rounded wooden battens have been nailed to the roof before the lead was laid. They run the same way as the fall , I would say approx 1m...

    LV lights cable size?

    Thanks for the reply. The instructions specifically state to only connect the earth on the first transformer. So should I keep a continuos earth through out the chain but not earthing the subsequent transformers? If so what should I do with the earth at the last light in the chain?

    LV lights cable size?

    I need to link 6 LV lights , each with their own transformer. They have 50W bulbs and will be approx 1.3m apart. I only need to use twin core cable. Can I use normal 1.5 light twin and earth cable and not connect the earth - or should I use a different cable?

    Extend stairs or replace staircase?

    I think he could , and that is what I was expecting him to do. but I get the impression this would be quite labour intensive to match it into the existing staircase , which is why he has suggested replacing the whole staircase instead , which he gives me the impression would require the same...

    Extend stairs or replace staircase?

    I have a single flight of stairs and the top treads turn to the left. I am remodeling my house and need a straight flight - no turn. I spoke to a carpenter about making some new treads just to straighten out the top treads and he advised me that staircases are so cheap now it would just...
