Hi. I have an Armitage Shanks Toilet Cistern 17501-2. It was leaking from where it is joined to the Syphon (Armitage Shanks syphon). Called a 'Plumber'. He unscrewed the nut. Pulled it down, and used PTFE tape. £160 for about 20 minutes work. Its leaking again. I can do it, but I want to...

In the Handbook the illustrations they show in the photo is very feint, as seen in the attachment. So I cannot figure out the wiring. Having read, and re-read your posts, I am interpreting that it seems I have connected the VC to the TV wrongly.

No. Sorry for the error in my explanation. 1st Photo: The VC came with a set of cables Red/Yellow/White (to connect the VC to the TV). 2nd Photo: The Saisho VCR has a set of cables 1 x Red and 1 x White, as shown in the photo. Whilst I can plug one end of those into the VCR, there are no...

Hi. Lucid. Your response is most helpful. In answer to your question, Please see photos as attached. The 1st photo shows connections to the Video Converter (VC). 2nd photo shows connections continuing from VC to the TV. 3rd photo shows RF aerial going back from the VCR to the TV. Having...

Super. But I do not understand , 'Change the telly's input to component'.

The first photo is from the back of the VCR Second photo is from the TV Handbook.

Hi. Thank you. RF aerial. The VCR does not have Scart.

Hello. I need to convert VHS to Digital. I have a Video Converter, and the old Saisho VCR recorder. The VCR Recorder handbook says to locate the Video Channel on the TV, but my TV is the Medion Smart TV. I am wondering if the TV will automatically find the Video Channel. Thank you for you...

Hello. I am having some building work done. One wall is of concrete blocks. It will be some time before the builder is able to render it. Heavy rain is forecast. I am wondering if I should cover it with plastic sheeting to prevent it absorbing water. Weakening of the structure. Thank you...

This is great. Problem solved. Thank you once again.

Please. Whilst I am knowledgeable in my trade, I am a novice with these. Can someone please, say exactly what to get and how to set up the complete connection. You all seems very skilled and knowledgeable in this field. Thank you. I apologise if I am being a nuisance.

Hi. Harry Bloomfield. I got few of the 'push through' connectors but concerned the multi-core will short out. Can you please let me know which IDC connections you mention and all the bits I will need? Thank you.

Hi. I came across these today, could not remove downpipe. They are secured by what seems to be locking clips. I have never seen them before. Can someone explain how to remove them, please?. Thank you.

Many thanks for your replies. The cameras are PoE, so as Sally 2000 says Ethernet cable only.

Can someone please explain these connections shown in the photos?. Its from XVision Installation Guide. When I ordered the kit I thought I would only be using a single CAT5 E cable. Thank you.

Thank you. Following your comments, I found EZ-RJ45 Category 6 connectors. I guess they should fit in the NVR Recorder? .

Hi. I am setting up CCTV Cameras. Not all runs are same length so necessary to cut cable and terminate according to length of run. As you know CAT 5e cable is of 8 strands. I am finding it very difficult to get the strands lined up flat for insertion. I have seen on a site where someone said...

Many thanks to all for your good advice. I forgot to mention, it is a Medion TV. It has a Freeview button. So, when I press the button it goes through that rigmarole of 'consents'.

Hi I have a Smart TV. I need to sign up to watch Freeview, but I must agree to use of my personal data. Not willing to do so. I have Dion Freeview Digital Set Top Box. I am wondering if I could just plug that into the Smart TV, and avoid having to agree to use of my personal data. Thank you.

Hello guys I am using bricks, LBC Heathers, to build a garage. Heathers are expensive, so I am looking to find cheaper alternatives which will blend in with what is already installed. Any ideas will be very helpful. Thank you.
