    Would you pass theory driving test today? Try.

    I'm not suggesting I wouldn't stop and I have previously but given the theory test is supposed to be about the knowledge required to drive safely then whether you know anything about first aid or not is irrelevant

    Would you pass theory driving test today? Try.

    Anything related to first aid, there's no requirement to stop if you come across an accident or to take any action if you do stop so why you should be forced to learn about any of it to pass a test to drive safely is beyond me.

    Would you pass theory driving test today? Try.

    47 put of 50, still annoys me now as it did when I first did it for my test that your expected to know things that have zero relation to driving safely.

    Firestop garage wall

    Is the dividing wall a cavity wall? To meet the fire requirement both the wall and ceiling will need to be either pink fireboard or a dual layer of 12.5mm plasterboard either option will then need plastering too. You'll need to speak to the building inspector re. the pipe openings, at one...

    Remove a broken iron bolt (Ed.)

    Chip whatever that is left round the thread off and a decent pair of mole grips will probably get it out.

    Temp oven supply

    I'm saying if the instructions say its needs a 32a supply then it can go on a circuit that's rated at 32a, especially as a temporary fit. I think the op has shown enough understanding so far to not have everything on that circuit running all at once.

    Drilling above interior doorway?

    I wouldn't bet on there being a lintel and it not just being block work especially if there isn't anything sitting on it upstairs, they'd just use the door casing to hold the small amount of weight. Just use a standard masonry bit and drill into it with hammer switched off and you should be...

    light switch wiring

    I think it should be, common setup stays the same, then the wires in L1 on the old switch will go in the 1 Way terminals on the new switch

    Temp oven supply

    If the socket is on a ring final protected by a 32a mcb or rcbo then you could change the existing socket to a cooker connection unit and wire the oven to it

    Planning drawings for Front Porch and WC extension

    Perfectly acceptable to do your own drawings, I did mine for our extension. As ours was a full extension I did 8 drawings, 4 showing the existing elevations, 4 showing the planned elevations.

    Strongest fixings for batten onto block

    They'll be fine but I'd use 400 centres for the kitchen and use cabinet rail fixed into the batons to hang the cabinets on and it'll spread the weight across the walls.

    After some shallow drainage advice

    Dig down around the hopper and see what options you've got for joining in lower down

    Drive shaft flexible coupling mot fail

    In & out, so national chain.

    Drive shaft flexible coupling mot fail

    Seems to be a common thing garages massively overcharging at the minute. Recent mot failure on a 2005 Audi A3 saw me quoted £183 to change front brake pads and £257 quid to change a front wishbone, I did the work myself with the parts coming to £130, there's no way it's £310 worth of labour...

    Tap stuck in cylinder head

    Either get a tap extractor or weld something to it so you can unwind it. After that your looking at spark erosion which isn't cheap.

    Move radiator or pipes? (Ed.)

    If you have access to the pipe on the otherside of the wall remove a section and then remake it longer to reach the new position

    Bathroom fan - inline fan fitted outside on external wall in a sealed box

    2.5mm gap under the door is no where near enough, the fan has to be able to suck air into the room at the same time as dispelling air from it.

    Sorn/mot

    I've driven from aviemore to durham using the same exemption, I confirmed with the police beforehand that it was acceptable. Their answer was yes to the letter of the law it's fine but I'd be liable for any non roadworthy faults with the car if stopped which is true of anytime your stopped...

    Side extension

    Can't see any obvious reason why that shouldn't get planning. Yes you can build on the boundary line but that probably would stop your neighbours doing similar in the future due to the terracing effect. Id probably build it inline with the single row of light coloured block pavers, I'd guess...
