Thanks for your comments I can get a vaillant pro24 with flue/filter/chemicals for £829 + vat The pro 28 is £919 is it worth the extra as this is really the top end of my budget Funny enough the Worcester is slightly more expensive Any thoughts on the viessmann (29kw for £709 + vat) with flue...

hi After trying to understand the pros and cons of various combi boilers It has come down to a vaillant pro24 or a Worcester greenstar 25i I have a 2 bed terraced house one bathroom and will be installing a shower over the bath so hopefully the above mentioned boilers will give me a good flow...

hi Is it ok to use gate valves on the flow and return that feed my kitchen rads I'm in the process of fitting a new kitchen and I need to cap the pipes off but I will not fit the new rad for some time due to other works I am planning and by this time the kitchen will be finished so I don't want...

hi My problem is I have just re boarded my kitchen ceiling and when I took down the old light fitting I found a bunch of cables just stuffed up in the ceiling There appears to be the two normal loop in loop out, the switch line (3 core) a cable for a outside light Another loop in to a second...

Thanks for that reply, the problem I have is that the current mixer tap is on the end of the bath under a window so I want to fit a dedicated shower to the opposite end of the bath I have had a look at the diamond core drills for drilling the tiles so I don't have any problems with getting one...

Hi I have just had a new combination boiler fitted and I now want to fit a shower over the bath The end of the bath backs onto a airing cupboard with the hot and cold water pipes in So no problem with the supply I just want to fit a shower valve in the bathroom and drill through the wall to...

But do I need building control ? And the wall above is built on the floorboards upstairs so I'm assuming it's ok to remove this lower wall without the need for a rsj as it looks like the upper floor will take the load above as this is the case with the bathroom wall over the lounge. The beams...

I have just moved into a small terraced house Can anyone give me some idea if it's ok to take the wall out between the lobby and kitchen in the diagram below the floorboards upstairs run at right angles to the wall so the beams run parallel to it resting over the wall between the kitchen and...

what I would like to do is to swap a door and a window around I have a utility room with the back door leading off and the kitchen with just a window so it will involve taking out the kitchen window and removing the section of wall below leaving the lintel in place then having a door and window...

I guess it comes back to what has already been said some people are lucky and some not so with a particular make and all it takes is to read the wrong review online to put you off I did read somewhere about the Audi,s not being as good as you would think it was probably just someone who had a...

AUDI ???? Now that's got me thinking as it was one on my list at the start But from the comments I was getting I thought it was best to stay away as I assumed it also came with high repair bills same as the bmw/jag ? And I also read somewhere that the reliability wasn't as good as people think...

Good advice "Dave54" I agree if anything the Internet has made the choice harder and it makes you paranoid that it's all going to happen to your new car. There are so many variables in the choice available in my price bracket Most things are available but some models at higher mileage some low...

Most of the hardcore will be brick and well compacted I will of cause take a skim from the ground to remove anything that's growing but it's just weeds so shouldn't be to bad Is it really bad if the bricks have plaster on them its an old house so I think the base coat is cement render ? But I...

hi I'm looking to lay a concrete shed base I have plenty of hardcore as I'm knocking trough a internal wall and doorway so by using this the saving on skips will hopefully cover the cost of the base ? The size will be around 10ft x 8ft the first question is how much ballast and cement will I...

I have all but ruled out getting an auto after the comments etc I have also been looking again at the Volvo v50 estate has anyone any experience with these ? Any potential problems etc I'm not a fan of the electronic parking brake I have one on my scenic and although I have never had any...

Thanks all for passing on some very helpful information I was starting to favour the vw Passat but I have been reading some customer reviews online and loads of them are saying they have had numerous problems. I do like the avensis but the EPB comes up quite a bit also I'm not expecting to have...

I do like the look of the avensis and it's good news if the auto gearboxes are reliable I had decided after some of the comments to stay away from auto but I will maybe take another look The electronic parking brake sounds expensive if it does go ? After some reading WHAT CAR only gives it an...

That's makes interesting reading although I must admit I'm not a big fan of Volvo I'm a little disappointed in the comments about auto gearboxes I do miss my old one even though it went at about 80k and Vauxhall quoted me 2k to replace that was about what the car was worth so I got rid and got...

The Mazda 6 looks a nice car (reliable ?) My short list is now not so short but all your input has given me something to think about. It is going to come down to my budget looking on auto trader some models are harder to find than others especially with reasonable mileage Going back to my first...
