Thanks for the advice so far guys I do agree bmw and jag's will come with big repair bills I was just hopping that they was reliable enough not to have problems as oftern as some of the lower end cars ? (Wishful thinking on my part) I will take a look at the mondeo but I was under the...

I don't do a great deal mileage wise mainly running about short trips with the odd couple of holiday trips UK so petrol would be better for me I did look at diesels mainly because some of the bigger cars was more cost effective (Tax/insurance/fuel economy) ? Your right about the French cars my...

hi I'm looking to change my current car and after reading for hours on the internet about reliability running cost etc I'm now even more confused so some help is needed. I would like a auto (I really miss my old one) but is there such a thing as a good reliable auto gearbox ? I have a Renault...

I'm going to get some quotes for the new boiler and maybe see if the plumbers would advise and let me do some of the pipe work removal etc And go from there What would be a good combination boiler to get ? Any to avoid ?

So if the only lightly leaks I may get will be from the rad valves I have no problem replacing them all when its drained down this was something I was considering anyway. The house only has two rads upstairs + a towel radiator in the bathroom And two rads downstairs lounge and kitchen so it's...

Thanks everyone some conflicting comments there ? So will or will I not have possible leaks when having a combi installed in place of a back boiler ? I'm not a big fan of having tanks in the loft hot water cylinders just take up valuable space and the existing one is very old and not very well...

Hi I will soon be moving into a property that has a back boiler fitted and I want to remove it and have a combi fitted in the kitchen I want to do all the alterations to the pipe work myself and then get the new boiler fitted. So my questions are after removing the hot and cold tanks etc if I...

I think the output would be ok as my air nailers only need air in short bursts so the pressure is more important and that looks fine maybe an air drill would need more cfm i also didn't want something that was to heavy to move about if needed I was more thinking about the make reliability aspect...

Hi I looking for advice for a new compressor I have been looking at this one http://www.screwfix.com/p/impax-zbw60b-2-24-24ltr-compressor-230v/27926 The main use will be for a framing nailer and also a 18g brad nailer I'm also thinking of maybe getting a air drill Most of its use...

Excellent "Belboz" just what I was looking for And very reasonable prices thank you I didn't find the bostitch site very helpful they list screwfix and tool station as local stockist but they both don't have framing nails ? Not much on eBay either .

Thanks for your reply that explains why I can't find it Just my luck, I won't be getting a hotpoint again that's two now with shot bearings. Any ideas for a reasonable budget machine (I was thinking Bosch ?) Or is it really a case of get what you pay for sort of thing ?

Hi I have a hotpoint WMFG821p UK washing machine The bearings have gone and it's making a noise like a jet taking off But after looking on all the parts sites I can't find the bearings matching that model number can anyone advise what size bearings I need please I don't really want to strip...

Ok after a chat to she who knows all and some reading on the internet we are now thinking that having the wall out and having a constant view of the kitchen along with all the mess and smells is not the best idea The serving hatch may just end up looking like a Chinese take away So the last...

Thanks all for your input The existing drive is sound it's had a few bits patched up due to new services being put under it some time ago The DPC is not a problem the existing is below that and I do intend to take out some of the concrete to create a planting border where it meets the house...

Hi I wonder if anyone can tell me where is the best place for bostitch clipped head framing nails ? Are there any other makes that perform well with a bostitch air nailer? I'm in Kent but not bothered if I have to order online as long as the delivery cost is reasonable . Many thanks

But as a large serving hatch would that still need a building control notice ? And is there a maximum as a serving hatch before it becomes overkill ? The wall length at the moment is around 4m

Is that an absolute must it is quite a large drive it takes about 4-5 cars I do intend to take some bits out to make areas for planting etc but if taking it all up is the only way then it's a job that will probably not get done as the amount of waste (skips etc) would cost me a fortune Looking...

Hi I'm looking to redo my driveway at the moment it just ugly concrete with a few patches where a new gas main went in I was thinking of laying 2x2 slabs over the existing drive but is this possible using only a thin bed of sand/cement Plan 2 was just dump pea shingle over it ? Plan 3 was to...

Ok I will get some advice from a structural engineer fist then and go from there, maybe get a builder in to install the beam and then do all the finishing off myself ? Just another thought though. Do I need permission to knock a serving hatch in a wall ? And how big can a serving hatch be...

I was just thinking as a quick fix it has to provide more protection than the way it is at the moment ?
