    Samsung 32" LCD

    As a general rule, higher temperatures will stress the electronics more and you will see more failures. Whether that will make a significant difference in reality is another matter and that would need a complicated study... what I mean is, if the estimated life falls from 10 years to 9 then who...

    First time kitchen re-fit

    The direct answer in my opinion would be probably 2 as it looks like 1 would leave a very short piece, and 3 or 4 depening on the size and the length your chosen worktop is available in. That might make the difference between needing to buy 3 lengths and only 2. I think all the other advice is...

    Non-slip vinyl for Bathroom

    Thanks mac391. Polyflor looks the business from my first browse; we'll probably try a sample. Would be nice to feel how non-slip the flooring is.

    Non-slip vinyl for Bathroom

    We need to replace the vinyl in my father-in-law's bathroom. Can anyone recommend something that is truly non-slip, even when wet? Of course, we should have done this before he slipped and fell last week :cry: but never realised how slippy it was for wet feet. The current flooring has been...

    Bosch Dishwasher floods occasionally

    Thanks again Cakeman - not seen the problem for a month now so we are gaining confidence that the soak and hot wash was the solution. We still use the ECO program mostly but try and do one 70 degree wash every week or so - hopefully that helps.

    Refitting an earth wire in the kitchen - Part P?

    Some very interesting replies there... my main curiosity was really about the legality - I have never been one to blindly follow rules and I had already decided to do exactly what holmslaw and bongos said, strictly legal or not. I don't think I could sleep well knowing that the appliance side...

    Refitting an earth wire in the kitchen - Part P?

    I am replacing the worktops and tiling a kitchen for some friends. When I took the screws off the cooker switch plate, I noticed that the earth wire to the cooker was not in place. I am not a part P person, and a bit paranoid about what I can legally do these days. (Though I studied...

    Bosch Dishwasher floods occasionally

    Gunge build up sounds very plausible. We usually use the Eco 50 degrees program and I am not sure we ever use the hot wash. We'll try tonight. It might be some time before we know that it worked, but I will let you know in due course.

    Bosch Dishwasher floods occasionally

    Most of the time our Bosch Logixx (SGI6622GB) integrated dishwasher works perfectly; but once every few weeks it dumps a few litres of water on the floor. It fills up too high inside and then overflows the lip at the front, the water comes out just near the left hinge. Having overflowed about...
