Hi, Whenever we put on a 60 degree wash the cycle starts but on the wash cycle the time keeps going down and then back up again before it gets to the rinse. We think it only happens on a 60 degree wash whereas normal 30 degree seems to be ok. My theory is that it will be a broken thermister...

Thanks for the clarification Tony and apologies for my ignorance on the matter :)

Okdokay, had assumed I would have to tell someone! Does it need to pass planning permission though? Given my description above, is there any way to do this without a drained cavity type scenario? Some people have suggested dpm straight against the wall and insulated plasterboard straight on...

Hi, I have a detached brick single skin garage (no dpm), on the whole it's pretty dry save some occasional 5mm damp marks where the brick meets the floor, where I have painted the inside the paint is mostly still there save occasional bits over the mortar (planning on treating the outside with...

But it's a flat roof so it has no eaves. Thanks :)

I have a detached garage that is 2m from my house. The garage is 2.3m high from the floor of the garage. The house level is 2 feet higher as it's sloping ground with the garage cut into the slope. The garage is around 1 foot from the property boundary. I am having a new roof put on and wanted...

This isn't strictly electrics but you guys will know the answer! I am trying to run some CAT5e above a suspended ceiling (15m run). I was going down the route of catenary wire, attaching eyebolts at each end and supporting wires along the length attached to the concrete ceiling. There are...

I am on a water meter as will a large proportion of the population in the next couple of years! @Charnwood Thanks for the link, do these heaters stop heating when they detect the water is warm enough? I'm not looking to heat using electric all the time, just whilst it isn't warm at the start...

Hi all, After a bit of advice. I have a combi boiler in the loft (baxi 105e) but there is a fairly long run to reach my hot water in the kitchen, maybe as much as 14 metres. I wonder if there is such a thing as an inline water heater that can be fitted in the kitchen that will heat the water...

I would go somewhere like an electrical outlet. Get yourself a punch down tool, a few patch panels, patch leads and cat5 sockets and a drum of CAT5 cable. A couple of things you need to know: 1. There are A and B type panels / sockets. Be sure that you get the same type at both ends and patch...

I can't say I agree with this. Apart from the technical skills required to install and run a web server, you need to consider security for the machine. Then if this is a business website it needs to be reliable, fast and up all the time. Broadband lines don't have SLA's, they have slower...

try a company that does building cladding. I know these guys are pretty helpful www.brandclad.co.uk

Well, there's a surprise lol. What do you make of the picture below? The big gap I found turned out to be the cavity wall gap... On the other side of the doors you see to the left is a recently built conservatory. It actually doesn;t appears to have dropped by much at all although it is a little...

Check out Wordpress. Is a cheap and easy way of setting up a website!

Who does he use for his ISP? A lot of the cheaper isps block port 25 smtp sending to any server other than their own... They do however let you send via theirs. Simply set the pop3 address as 123reg and put in the login credentials and then put the smtp server of your isp WITHOUT authentication...

Do a google search for duplicate file finders. There are tons

I have concrete floors in my 1960's semi. I have pulled the carpet and stripped off what looks to be the original lino tiles. Towards the patio doors the last 500mm of concrete raises up by nearly 30mm in a slope and sounds hollow. There is a small crack where it starts to lift. I broke a hole...

My friend, you have had a lot of wasted hours reinstalling since 2002 lol Most drivers are non critical, video, network, to some extent even specific chipset drivers. When you swap out the the disk the OS will scan the machine on boot and find a load of different devices and for the most part...

Albeit that the Intel Mac's don't have a BIOS but use EFI instead. Hence requiring an interface layer of software / drivers between the board and the OS to have it working properly. Having said that EFI of sorts is coming to PC's very soon now also.

I use "1&1" and heart internet, I would say that 1&1 is my preferred option, have been a customer for many years and the interface is well laid out with very little problems. Just occasionally I have found Heart to have slow periods. The *only* reason I have used Heart over 1&1 is the fact...
