Half a dozen tiles will cost less than a tenner, roofing merchants is better than a general builders merchants. To repair a tear i run another strip of roofing felt from under the lap of the felt above the tear, you may have to take a couple more tiles off to find the lap, and run it down well...

Did this in a van once.We just set off driving ,van smoking a bit and wouldnt go above 45 mph. Every 40 or so mile we filled up again with diesel even though it would only take about a gallon to top it up. Eventually it started running better as the diesel diluted the petrol.After about 250 mile...

they are called bison beams. Not sure about the sizes, a google search should give you more info

The tile looks like a ludlow.Your local roofing centre will have some. There are ludlow major and ludlow minor so be sure to get the right one, the difference is in the size. I've come across many tiles where an area has rotted through, must be an area of inferior mix or a foreign body has got...

Hello again, spoke to a mechanic who mot's and does work on my van and told him about the problem. I dropped the van off on tuesday morning, i've just called in to see how its going and its ready to pick up. He has had the pump off and disconnected the immoboliser and even got the "key code"...

I had a conversation with a very helpful mechanic and the parts store manager at a peugeot dealership yesterday. They said the immobiliser is built into the injection pump and bolted in with shear head bolts, so to access it you have to remove these bolts first. The immobiliser can then be...

Hello again,the lights on the dash are the usual ones, oil, battery, glow plugs and one that says key code which usually goes out after a couple of seconds but is now staying lit.All these lights are as bright as they always have been. As for the keys,i bought the van at auction 2 years ago...

Hello.The van is a V reg. 1999 swb boxer panel van 1905cc diesel. ive just checked the pick up ring as suggested and the wires seem to be o.k. Thanks.

Many thanks for that il check it this evening.Had the van into a main dealer today and they said it needed a new immobiliser at just over £1,000 just about half of what the vans worth. It is starting but only very occasionally. Can the immobiliser be bypassed? All suggestions welcome. Cheers.

This morning my Boxer van wouldn't start because it couldn't read the key code, it has done this before but has always eventually started.I tried the spare and had the same problem. Is this a main dealer job or is there something i can do myself to fix it?

Never heard of this but a wall should always be built frog up so the frog is always filled with mortar on the next spread.If it is walled frog down, rainwater will soak through the brick,settling in any voids and in winter will freeze blowing the face off the brick. Many people wall their bricks...

Just wondering how much it costs to hire a skip in different parts of the country. Here in west yorkshire i pay £120 for a nine ton skip or £88 for a four ton midi skip.Whats it cost in your area?

the jointer and strap shown in the picture is for jointing to half round cast iron gutter. The correct jointer should have a rubber seal and not be sealed with silicone.Silicone will not seal because of the expansion and contraction of the gutter.

ive just bought 4 lengths of 4 metre gutter from wickes, couldnt be bothered to tie them on the roof of my van so i folded them in half and put them inside.believe me it works! they are now all fitted and working.

can you post a pic?

They can be folded in half.

The downpipe from the main roof needs diverting or extending so it doesnt drain onto your flat roof.The flat roof was designed to clear the rainfall falling onto it , not the rainfall from your main roof as well.

Might not be thick enough or no dpm or inferior sub base. As you say the the sunroom is just a "shack". Better to tear it down,break up the concrete dig some footings and start afresh.
