Got a couple of laptops I need to get rid of. If I remove the hard drives is that enough or might data still be stored on them somewhere? TIA

a guy at work mentioned something called a skybox fs5. Haven't looked into it properly yet, but you do need to have a dish on your wall.

Would like to install the above type of loft ladder. The ideal position for me would involve cutting across the joists and creating an opening that way. Been having a look round youtube and the vids on there show these ladders being installed between the joists. Just wondering if it really mattered?

Lifted downstairs carpets today and removed gripper rods in preparation for carpet fitters next week. There's various damage to the floor from the previous installation, ranging from cracks to loose chunks. What's best for making good. Should I just get a tub of ready mixed mortar or would a...

Just wondering what type of guitar is best to start learning on, electric or acoustic? Got the son a cheapo electric guitar a while ago which is now just gathering dust. May as well put it to some use if I can.

Rang them up and they're were fine. I suppose a sale is a sale in this day and age. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the quick replies. Suppose I'd better just pay them a visit and see what they say. Don't know if it will go in my favour, but I never received any paperwork to take away with me concerning my rights or their T&C's. Will post to let you know how I got on. Thanks again.

Hi oh learned one's. Buying a new car. Was in dealers Tuesday agreed figures and agreed to take their finance. In the meantime, circumstances changed and wife decided that she wanted to arrange finance through our bank. Bearing in mind, that I signed on the premises, am I likely to encounter...

Thanks for that. Just took it for a run round the block, didn't seem too bad. Fingers crossed.

The MAF sensor on my 2004 Berlingo 2.0hdi is kaput. Replacement has been ordered. Just wondering does anyone know the consequences -if any- of driving with a broken MAF sensor. Don't really fancy lugging all my tools on a bus for work tomorrow. TIA.

The bloke who created horrible histories was one of my teachers at senior school. He once put in a school report that I was "immature". Na na na na, yah, sucks, boo to him.

Thanks for the reply. Off to find some heat resistant waterproof sealant.

Wife complained that she was having to top up cooling water. Had a look and discovered that the bleed screw had been broken off the thermostat housing. Not having much joy locating a replacement today. Question is, can it still be driven? If not is there some sort of temp repair I can carry out...

Singles holidays. Chance would be a fine thing.

Might have been a temperature issue. Even though I don't think it's been too cold today. Put the heating on earlier and it seems to be going off now.

It's now nine hours since I finished painting a door frame with this stuff and it still feels as tacky as it did then. Supposed to be touch dry in 3-4 hours. Not a new tin, couple of months old. Has been used previously without problems, but that was over existing gloss. This is the first time...

I'm Spartacus.

Metal bunk beds creak and groan at the slightest movement. When the kids moved into separate rooms we chopped the bunk down to make one single. It's still as noisy as hell.

I .don't visit here anymore and have deleted diynot from my favourites

Statutory rights are only any good if you are fully aware of them. Yes one of the letter keys came off in normal use and the wife returned it to the store where she was informed that it was not covered by the warranty and that it would have to be sent away for repair at a cost of £100. No...
