You could look at the koiquest site for lots of helpful information on building your koi pond. I too agree with everything which has already been mentioned. Koi keeping can seriously damage your bank balance. Good luck.

Were these 'Montana' type clematis which most people use to cover a large area quite quickly? In my experience these are extremely tough. Did you follow the planting instructions on the pot?. Normally it is best to plant the clematis a few inches away from the structure it is to climb over...

Our woodburner is fitted with the chimney going up into a chimney liner. There is a stainless steel retention plate fitted at the bottom of the chimney with the woodburner chimney going up through it. The gap between the chimney liner and the chimney is filled with micafill. We do not have any...

We had a Jotul F100 fitted by a local company in May 2003. Total cost including the woodburner, materials and fitting - at little over £1400.00. This included fitting a stainless steel chimney liner, register plate and raincap and insulating with micafill. We have been very pleased with our...

Thank you everyone for your replies, will now have the confidence to investigate a bit further and sort this out. We have no noise today and everything seems to be running smoothly. We do not have Vista.

I am not very technically minded when it comes to computers but our hard drive seems to be quite noisy of late and I am wondering if there is anything we can do to sort this out ourselves or if we need to take the hard drive for a service or something. It is making a sort of laboured whirring...

Thanks for the replys . Unplugged the machine cables and then restarted, all is now ok.

my daughter has pressed something on our scanner and now it will not turn off. It has a green flashing light and the pop up screen says shutting down ..., but it isnt and wont. Looked in the troubleshoooting booklet and this is not covered. Any ideas? Should I just unplug it? Thanks.

We had a similar problem with our Netaheat ealier this year. Boiler would fire up, radiators would get hot and about an hour later everything would be cold. Boiler would come on again when we put the heating on to contstant but again, only for about an hour. We called out the engineer who...

Thank you both for taking the time to reply. Having asked around a few friends it would appear that £600 or £700 is about right so hopefully we will get our car back next week fully functional.

Can someone please tell me if a price in the region of £600 to £700 is a reasonable amount to expect to pay a garage to replace a head gasket to repair our car. We have a P reg Astra 1.7 TDI with only about 65,000 miles on the clock and last night it died with a spectacular bang and a...

Good Luck with your search, I am just glad that I bought one a couple of weeks ago. I am now having trouble getting hold of a 60GB playstation 3. There is always something at Christmas that you just cant get hold of. A few years ago I remember it was BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!

We used one coat of primer, couple of coats emulsion in chosen colour and then several coats of diamond hard satin varnish. The varnish left a slight yellowing on the white emulsion but it is not unattractive. Probably a bit of a time consuming way to get the job done but we are happy with it.

Comet have sorted out the laptop and it is now back at its original settings, with functioning USB ports. We are currently making a set of recovery disks which we should have done when we originally purchased it apparently. Comet could not have been more helpful but I am afraid that I still do...

Thanks for the reply, have read through the link . Seems we can still not get past this black page with the message mentioned before. Whatever option we choose the laptop just goes back to the same page with a bit of whirring. I think we are going to go back to Comet with it this afternoon...

My HP Pavillion laptop (which I brought in June 06) is playing up this morning, I've had a similar problem before but it resolved itself! We rang the place we got it from that time and they couldn't say what the problem was and just to keep an eye on it. That was March. When I turn it on it...

Thank you very much Trazor. Think I will have to live with it then !

HILARIOUS

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove the blue stains on an old enamel bath caused by a long dripping cold tap. Thanks.

We have a really old (about 25 years) Potterton boiler which last year we were considering relacing simply because everyone we know seems to be having combi boilers fitted. We had BG and another local company quote , both of whom wanted loads of money as ours was not just a simple job...
