    Candy Turbo 801 - Replacing Sump Hose

    I have a tiny leak on my washing machine. It isn't when it's filling,,,, or emptying - that was the first place I looked. Inlet seals etc fine I saw a drip coming from around the sump hose, close to where it comes out of the drum. I want to take it off to check it over, but am worried that it...

    well done mate,,,, I'm chuffed for you. I tried the spindle routine, but to Noah Vale. It's a shame as the expensive parts (Motor, computer etc) are all o.k. As far as Panasonic is concerned - I don't knead it !

    Thanks for that 82, I never thopught opf looking at that aspect, as the spindle/paddle seem loose enough,,,,,, I was just about to give up and put it back in the box, but I'll certainly try that over the next couple of days. This 'shop bought' bread is o.k - for a change - but I wouldn't...

    Setting up kitchen wall for Tiling

    Many thanks IJWS15, Believe it or not, I have done this dozens of times for other people,,,,,, other peoples seem so easy, but when doing your own, its different. If I knew that I’d do it all from the beginning, I would have started with the window. Luckily (!?) my kitchen is very narrow...

    Setting up kitchen wall for Tiling

    Hi guys, About 2 years ago, I bought a new cooker and decided to tile the whole wall behind it in 10”x8” (hxw) ceramic tiles. As an afterthought, I have now decided to do the whole kitchen. I seem to be struggling to set the wall with door & window. I need the top row to be a full tile...

    Alternative to decking ?

    Thanks Joe, What sort of dimensions ? 99% of the time it will only be holding a few trees & bushes,,, mostly in buckets. When I go in, I can make sure I tread on the framing etc. Do you know my missus ? She's called 'Ellen',,,, or El for short,,,,,,,,, :roll:

    Alternative to decking ?

    Hi guys, I need to build a wooden platform in my back yard. I’ve built a fruit ‘cage’; (2 x 1.1m), to hold a couple of wild fruit bushes !? I need something to stand it on. The perfect place is mostly on a raised part of the yard,,, with about 18” hanging over, where I’ll have to put legs...

    Panasonic Bread Maker

    That sounds great. I've never used that feature. I usually do basic French (6 hours !?) or Basic white. I used to do the fruit loaf in the winter (loverly toasted) ,,,,,, for some reason I didn't bother this time. I also did a dough mix, to bake in the oven. I prefer a darker crust...

    Panasonic Bread Maker

    Glad things are getting better. I used to get seeded flour from the supermarket, but they stopped selling it a couple of years ago. I just added a few ounces to a full loaf. I have pumpkin seeds, pine nuts and flaked almonds, seseme & poppy seeds. I throw a few of either in now and then...

    Panasonic Bread Maker

    Hi folks, So sorry for the delay. I've been in the hospital and convalescing. For some reason – bread making wasn’t at the top of my priority list. In the meantime, I got a message from Panasonic Bread making department saying: (para) “it’s now’t to do with us – there was a bad wheat...

    Panasonic Bread Maker

    many thanks Reg, I'll look for the on-line manual, but as in my OP, the spindle is quite free running. It was one of the first things that I checked. I may have it sorted - but need to test it Sat/Sun. If it works, I'll put details on here for others, because it will help in thousands of...

    Breadmaker

    Personally - I wouldn't touch Panasonic again. I'm on my third one - and more trouble (see separate post). I started off with a cheapo machine, as I didn't know if I really wanted regular home made bread, but I just wanted to try it. I certainly didn't like the idea of it taking hours & hours...

    Panasonic Bread Maker

    Panasonic Bread-maker SD255 My 3rd (& last) Panasonic machine has started to throw out rubbish bread. It seems to bake alright, to my desired colour (well,,,, almost - I'd love it darker) but doesn’t fully rise. I put it down to age,,, but it hasn’t been used a lot. I’ve tried Basic (Lg &...

    12v or 15v adapters for 12v SLA Battery ?

    yep - you've hit the nail right on the head. The cause of the charger/booster unit problems has been battery failure. Along with crap service, it looks like Blackspur cause their own problems by supplying the wrong charger/adapters. Who'd have thought that a little thing like a...

    12v or 15v adapters for 12v SLA Battery ?

    GOOGLE / E-BAY / CBC ?! ahhhh,,,,, if only it was that simple. I have been searching,,,, but it looks like as soon as I got one, the supplier/manufacturer disappeared ! Actually it’s a Steyre – Ning Bo Bei Kang Dian Zi You Xian Gong Si (Ningbo Becam Electronics Co., Ltd) - & I know they...

    12v or 15v adapters for 12v SLA Battery ?

    Thanks folks - you always come up with the goods. "Can you not buy the specific adaptor for the appliance?" As in my OP, thats the bit that threw me. Two similar appliances came with different chargers. As far as actual 'use' is concerned, they won't be used a great deal - hopefully...

    12v or 15v adapters for 12v SLA Battery ?

    Hi, I need to replace the switching power adapters for TWO Car Booster/Starters. They are very similar units (s'posed to be the same) with the same: 12v 17ah SLA batteries. One has a UK adapter of 12v - 500ma. The other has a Euro 2-pin adapter of 15v - 1000ma. I was going to get a 2-pin...

    Charging a Lead Acid Battery

    Flameport: Thanks for that. The board looks pretty simple, but I can't see anything burnt or obviously wrong - except the LED doesn't light up when on charge either. I don't s'pose the power goes 'through' the LED ? I have a cheap 'multi-tester' but I'm not clever enough to locate faults in...

    Charging a Lead Acid Battery

    I have a ReChargeable Torch with a 6vdc sealed lead acid battery & 12v charger/adapter/smps. The thing has stopped taking a charge. The charger/? seems to be working o.k. The battery is new and will hold a charge when given one. To me (?!) it looks like something in/on the regulator...
