I bought a Skoda Favorit estate as a run-around a few months back, just needed to get a new tax disc and have taken a look at the MOT cert. It said an advisory note was provided, but not given to me at the time. Looked it up online, and found the following details that mean nothing to me, is...

Thanks guys, would I need any ventilation in the flat roof or can this be completely sealed up? There is an en-suite toilet (used to be an outside toilet at one time) that also falls under this flat roof, don't know if this makes any difference. Cheers

Hi, I may use laymen's terms here because roofing is not something I've ever dealt with, but I have bought the bungalow equivalent of the money pit. I have 2 problems: 1) I have a pitched roof that is slate tiled, with lead flashing - there is no felt below it. The valley in one part is...

I think my machine is probably beyond help now, but i'd decided to post on here anyway before it started smoking! I have a Servis 1300 washing machine, a couple of days ago the machine refused to spin. The drum turns and does the full wash but just no spin. A few times you could put the spin...

Can anyone tell me how to unblock a cast iron downpipe? Water is pouring from the gutter below the main roof guttering (like on a porch) , the lower gutter joins into a downpipe stating from above so has a couple of angles in it. There is no drain in the ground, and it seems that the pipe...

Fair enough! Like i said, in training!! I've got British Gas onto it - they provide the cover.

Nope, no lid. I can see mould on the wood above the tank so it looks like it's been going on a while. I thought it might be from the hot water tank, but then I never see any water dropping from the overflow outside. I've just spoken to a friend (a sort of a plumber in training) who...

Will do! cheers I'd just liked to have sounded like I knew what I was talking about!

I'm not sure if I have enough information for an answer here but I need to ask! The F & E Tank in my loft appears to be constantly full of hot water, touching the side of the tank feels warm and now it's colder outside I can see steam rising from it. Doesn't sound right to me, it's a...

If it is different then I'll try that, I gave my brother-in-law a small 8 port 3com hub I found a work a couple of weeks back. I'll just nick that back for a while! I'm a bit hesitant to start taking out hard drives in case something goes wrong, but do you mean install them both in the machine...

Didn't realise the router only has one port! Can I still transfer the files in the same manner if I use a cross-over lead to link the machines?

Thanks all, I've prited this out and will take it with me!! Cheers

Morning, I will swapping my fathers pc for a new one tomorrow, both are running xp professional with office 2003. I was wondering what the easiest way is to transfer all his files from the old pc to the new one. He has a broadband router that I can connect both machines to, is it just a...

None of the things mentioned seem to work, I'll just leave it for now, could be something different - the IT dept are quite hot! Cheers anyway!

Thanks, Still doesn't seem to be working! I have made sure that my pc is still not part of a domain, and it has a workgroup name I have issued (already done). I've tried the gpedit.msc and the Prohibit Patching is not configured (I guess this is correct) I've looked at the Registry and...

I always found 'wiring and lighting' by Mike Lawrence quite useful when I started doing little jobs, bearing in mind that I'm not a qualified sparks!

Cheers, All helpful and can now get windows updates. I don't know the IT people who set up this pc, but I do have the admin logon & password (they were actually surprisingly good with the password it has numbers, capitals, _ & #'s) I'm still getting this message when I try office updates...

I have a pc that used to be part of an office network that I now use as a home computer. The problem I have is that the updates have been disabled. When using the mircosoft website, I get the following error message: -Network policy settings prevent you from using this website to get updates...

Thanks gents, I have just spoken to the Horstmann Tech desk, they reckon I've been sent the wrong unit, although marked up as a c27 it sounds like I've only got a single channel unit - just trying to get it replaced. Ordered it from TLC funnily enough! Thanks for your help.

Thanks, that all makes it lot clearer, like for like. Just one more question if anyone knows about the c27, altough I asked for a c27, On the front there is a small blank plate over the hw light and there doesn't seem to be a pin on the back of the programmer to connect to terminal 2. Does...
