good emulsion is usually dry in around 1-2 hours

probably best to get it fault coded, did it lose power around the 3000 rpm mark? Ive had similar problems with my corsa diesel a few times and it end up being the boost valve or boost valve sensor.

scuffed bumper, will need some filling then full bumper respray, probably looking at around the £150 mark from a good private garage (and there are some, i had some work done on mine and dare i say they did a better job than vauxhall when someone went into the back of me.) If you take it to...

I had the same problem with my corsa sxi, I ended up getting it done by vauxhall for £70!! I couldnt see any other way around it as it seems you have to prise off the coloured ring around the air vent to get access to the fixings but I could just see me causing more damage to the dash so thought...

you should get 3 or more quotes from different plasterers that have good reputations. That way you know whether that is a reasonable price or not. Once you have the quotes consider carefully which one to choose, dont just opt for the cheapest consider, experience, how long it will take them etc

rollers come in three types, short pile for smooth plaster, medium pile, slightly textured surfaces, long pile very textured sufaces. If you use a short pile roller on plaster you should get a very smooth finish, only use medium or long pile for textured surfaces or you will get a textured...

never seen anyone use paint pads, rollers are much easier and faster and give a perfect finish if used properly. I bet you'll struggle to find a pro on here who uses paint pads

thanks guys

We have 6 35W GU10 halogen lights in our kitchen, I want to swich to led bulbs because they blow all the time. Can we just do a straight swop for the relevant led bulb or do we need to buy the proper led fittings. I was told you could by the guy in the shop but this seemed strange seen as...

yeah that will be fine, sounds like it will be a good deck when its done :D

by rights there is supposed to be a post every 1.5m so really you will need some or you will have a bouncy deck.

firstly you didnt need to use the white as undercoat you could of gone straight on with red, lining paper doesn't really need undercoating like plaster does. I know its not what you want to hear but you are going to need to put a third coat on. What brand paint is the red? it usually...

you mean the white substance appearing on the bricks, its know as Efflorescence, best way is to brush it off with a stiff brush when it appears or accumulates, eventually it will stop appearing, its as you rightly said salt coming out of the wall as it dries out. Whatever you do dont pressure...

decking should be constructed with 4 x 2 joists Preserved timber will be fine for the frame work. You should use the proper decking boards on top though as they have the grooves in them to give more grip under foot. Probably not the best idea to screw 4x2 together to make 4x4, you will get...

If there is a hole its probably best to fill it in using a bit of brick and cement to stop any moisture or cold air entering the room from the cavity. As said above though if you want a solid fixing its might be best to fill in the void. If you still want to avoid the filling then looking...

did you clean the wall prior to painting, there might be some muck or grease stopping the paint going on properly

Both fairly simple jobs for the diy person if you are reasonably practical and have the equipment. For the wall you need a brick bolster and lump hammer, once you have these you can use them to remove the desired bricks. It look to cut a foot off you will need to cut back some of the bricks...

Can you post a picture, that way we can understand exactly what your trying to do what size skirting are you using, does the plaster come part way down the skirting board.

If you have an sds drill with roto stop you could try one of these, never used one but seen a video on youtube and they look pretty good imo. http://www.screwfix.com/p/armeg-sds-plus-skirting-board-chisel-20mm/15097 cheers Paul
