a much understimated, little known, and superb and reilable estate is the mitsubishi galant. Ultra reliable, engines are available in 2.0 n/a, 2.5 n/a, and 2.5 twin turbo, which is a proper rapid sleeper. The 2.0 n/a will be nippy enough without sucking too much petrol. Sport models tend to...

Hi all, just fitted the tiles and grouted in the bathroom. Around the shower area we used weber-joint http://www.netweber.co.uk/tile-fixing/weber-products/products/joint-tile-grouts/weberjoint-wall.html , (with Sovereign Super Grip master for the adhesive) Even though weber say weber-joint...

jesus.... :roll:

airlocks vary from car to car.. turning the heater on and running for fifteen mins may work one one car.. although i have no idea which one :shock: There are numerous ways to get rid of airlocks.. one of the most popular is to jack up the front of the car as high as poss, and run the engine...

i worked as a sound engineer for years so i dabbled a bit in sound proofing... anyway... Its only the high frequencies which any kind of cavity insulation will stop.. high frequencies will tend to bounce around inside the material and dissipate as heat (miniscule amounts, obviously). Low...

Hi all... :) Redoing the bathroom, and putting down either vinyl or tiling.. anyway... A lot of the current floorboards are bowed and curved badly along the center line of each one.. so they look like this.. a bit of an exaggeration, and excuse the dodgy drawing.. but you get the...

ordered and arrived already :) does the job nicely but still a bit of lugging about needs to be done.. easier on my back than before though :)

Hi all, cant think of anywher else to ask except here. I use one of my upstairs rooms for storage of paper, reams of the stuff, sometimes in large packages. I'm fed up with carrying them by hand, so short of dropping them in the roof by helicopter i was thinking of getting one of these...

what about this one? opens up to 3.5m and doesnt need to big a hatch size.. wooden but sturdy as anything :) http://www.laddersalesdirect.co.uk/section-timber-folding-loft-ladder-p-517.html

yeah sometimes a ladder just isnt enough on its own.... last time i did some work on the top of my house i bought a ladder standoff and some other bits from here... http://www.laddersalesdirect.co.uk/ladder-accessories-c-99.html at least i think it was there.. all sites look the same to...

yep fraid so.. i'm blaming you personally as you gave me the link :) but in all honesty the 13mm chuck tipped the balance..

got the ryobi in the end.. http://www.screwfix.co.uk/prods/80118/Power-Tools/Cordless-Drills/Ryobi-CDI1141-Combi-Drill-14-4V £59 from screwfix...seems like a good deal. Little heavier than what i was after (and heavier than some 18v drills), but not too bad. Two batteries and 1hr charger...

lidl is grim true, but like aldi they do some superb one off bargains on electrical and home items.

The house is at the end of a row of 3, then they go round a corner at 90% ... but there are others on a right angle to us.. so i suppose its at the end, but maybe not. We did think of reducing the pipe width , but i dont think it will be enough to get rid of the box section, although there is...

great.. thanks for the help :)

aagh this is where the net trips utself up.. people are saying that it only need to be above the level of the highest overflow... you're the only one so far saying it has to be a metre above. Who are the BCO? Buildings... something... office ?

the vent pipe is currently taking up a lot of space in the corner of the bathroom, with a boxed in section going up the wall... ideally we want to remove it, mainly because of looks but also be cause space is very very tight in there, and we need the extra 10 inches that that box section is...

anyone?

yeah but this is why i'm researching this one :) plus it got me out of trouble one day.. so a quick easy purchase did the trick !
