I'm replacing some leaky valves on our CH system. It's a pressurised system (no header tank, big orange vessel by boiler). Can I use Fernox MB1 when I refill, or is there a more suitable product ?

that's probably the best idea I've heard, dunno why I didn't think of it myself :oops: cheers

Not planning on Heaters/ kettles or anything but I will have switched : 1 x PC 1 x Laptop 2/3 external HDD 1 set speakers 1 DAB radio 1 KVM switch 1 Portable TV 1 Printer 1 Desk Lamp 1/2 USB hubs Permenantly on : 1 Router 1 Telephone (mains powered call router on it) 1 Laptop...

when you say radial do you mean run cable from fusebox to office switch and from there : 1. go socket to socket to socket and back to switch or 2. go to each socket separately (switch to socket A, switch to socket B, switch to socket C etc) Can I run two cables from the same...

I'm refitting a room to use as an office and I'd like to be able to turn a lot of stuff off with a single wall switch rather than scrabble around under the desk. I'm going to put the office on a separate circuit breaker in the consumer unit and once the cable gets to the office I will split...

A friend of mine has a 6 floor guest house and I fitted one of these routers on the second floor. there wasn't a useable signal on the top floor so I put a 9db gain antenna on it (I forget where I bought it, I just googled IIRC) and it is now ok all over the house. It looks a bit unsightly...

I've levelled an area of garden ready for a 6x4 shed which I intend to set onto paving slabs. The slabs will be set onto a 2 inch dry mix of sand & cement. What type of sand should I use though ? Also, how much is in a "jumbo bag" like...

Will a mini-digger go down a fairly shallow set of steps down the side of my house ? I'd estimate the angle of them to be 20-30 degrees, nowhere near as steep as an internal staircase. (If not, where can I bulk buy anabolic steroids)

That's sort of what I thought but thanks for the reassurance.

Use pen drives by all means (good quality though NOT cheapo ebay ones) but also get an external hard drive, £50 or less. do a full backup to that once a week and keep it off site.

My parent's house was built in 1964, is it likely to have asbestos soffits ? Some years ago, before I knew better, I drilled a couple of holes in it to get a tv aerial cable through; I wasn't underneath it, I leaned out of the gap between the window and the frame and the dust just dropped...

I have 8 radiators with Drayton TRV4s which were fitted in 2002; At least 5 of them are leaking very slightly. A couple of them leak when they are adjusted but then seal up again, another couple show evidence of leaks but feel dry and one is almost permenantly leaking (very slightly and it...

My neice bought a new PC, an acer machine with Vista on it. After a few days she begged me to "upgrade" her to XP like her dad's machine. I asked why and she said "there's just so much I can't do". Turns out her USB wifi adaptor wasn't supported, neither was her printer. The Machine was also...

Well mine works, and hasn't been plugged in since it was installed. My mum's also works (the sky fitter unplugged her lifeline to plug it in so I swapped them back.

do you intend to use any of the on demand services/competitions etc. ? I don't and unplugged my sky+ box as soon as the bloke was out the door. I've had no problems although technically, according to the contract you are supposed to leave it connected. I'd just run an extension cable for...

1. Remove all the internal wiring from the nte5 front plate. 2. reconnect it a bit at a time and test after each. I'd guess that you've either got a damp cable or, more likely, a damp socket - do you have a dog or cat (they sometimes develop a penchant for ****ing on sockets.)

try xp codec pack : http://www.majorgeeks.com/XP_Codec_Pack_d4838.html you can also load the file into gspot and it will tell you what codecs you need: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/gspot.cfm

You dont have to put it all on there individually, you can bulk copy it. Also, yu only want to put your documents on there, not all the program files and windows files. Open up a dos box (start>run, type cmd , press enter) then enter the following (pressing enter after each line)...

Sounds like the drive has been partitioned into two (It's what I do when I build a PC). The intention would be to use C: for programs and D: for data. You should just be able to write to it, same as the C: drive.

At a guess, your old drive is screwed.
