    Does this pipework look okay?

    A picture of where the mdpe enters the house would be useful as getting that sorted out properly is going to be more of an issue than sorting out under the sink

    Bloody Tyre Shops

    I'd have no issue if the shop had failed them at test for being dangerous, I have an issue with them trying to claim it's dangerous and must be replaced immediately then the next day they state it meets the required safety standard. I'd of also accepted them saying they really should be...

    Bloody Tyre Shops

    Sorry I'm not going to agree telling someone there dangerous and have to be changed immediately then passing them the following day is just trying to pressurise people.

    Bloody Tyre Shops

    I'm not surprised any of the wheel alignment is out, she doesn't look after it and being a bmw platform it runs an amount of negative camber anyway. My issue is in them stating there dangerous and have to be changed there and then, but the next day they pass them in an mot, they were simply...

    Bloody Tyre Shops

    So I've been badgering the wife to get her wheel alignment done since replacing her 2 front tyres as they were down to the wire. Yesterday she takes it to one of the local tyre places to have the alignment done (their the pick of the bunch round here but none of them excel) , they had it up on...

    150mm hole - close to the edge

    Is it a decorated wall? If not I'd get a decent sized bit of 18mm osb or ply, cut your hole out of it then mount the board to the wall making sure to get screws in each block and the board will help hold it all together while you core. Once you've cored 25mm or so into the material use a...

    Polishing headlamps

    From memory the meguirs kit comes with the buffer for a drill, the polish and a small sanding pad with 2 different grits on it. For the best results I tend to find it's worth an hour wet and drying them from 400 grit upwards to 1200 grit then polish, if it's for one of my cars then ill...

    Modified seatbelt. Can it be put back?

    I'd look very carefully at that small plastic bit I'd suspect it's either got a split in it or has been glued back together to allow the belt out of it, it's pretty much inconceivable that someone has cut the belt and rejoined it somehow and it still functions. It has been dismantled somehow.

    Modified seatbelt. Can it be put back?

    Cable tie is holding the cable for the pretensioner in place. There looks enough space in the picture to pull the belt out then fold the slack back on itself and around to the right and slip it around the end of the pretensioner and back into it's correct position
