    vista to xp

    Do you have the XP cd? Have you tried entering bios and changing to boot from disc rather than hard drive? Normally to get into bios its F2 or F10 or ESC/F2, it will normally say during start up. Make sure you've saved everything you want to save on there to a separate drive or external one.

    Carron enamel wood burning stove

    Sounds like you have a good case to contact the supplier, pretty sure there's a six month guarantee on purchases, check trading standards. Think they would have to prove you caused the damage and would need to replace or repair. Have you contacted the supplier?

    Electrics shocks

    A chap I used to know who suffered from the same problem would carry round a safety pin in his pocket and every so often touch it onto a door handle or anything metal to discharge himself. He was picking up the charge from nylon in the carpets at his work I think.

    plumbing work

    You'd be best ringing your local council, if your planning on changing an existing soil pipe they we need to know. All councils are different and have different policies. They are normally pretty quick and helpful once your speaking to the right person.

    Loft Boards and cable above joists

    If your only using it for storage it should be fine, cross battening it would give it some extra strength where your planning to put the boards down. You just don't want to be jumping up and down up there. How old is the property? New builds a generally built to be strong enough up there for...

    front hall no cavity wall

    You could batten it out, insulate it, then board and plaster. If its a outer area that you don't spend time in I wouldn't bother because unless it's heated some how it will still remain much colder than in the house. Gobs

    Torrent download sites

    I'd be very careful where you download any torrents from, I save any I download straight into a quarantined folder before scanning with everything I have. From my own experience alot come with spyware or adware ad-ons that wont be picked up. I'm sure its not legal, torrents use small bits from...

    On my Citroen I've been told that there is a speed regulator circuit on the blower motor itself which uses a couple of transistors, they can go intermittent and then open circuit or close it meaning only the highest level would work but no others.
