Thanks everyone for the help so far. In view of the comments I have modified my thoughts and will increase the number of support posts to 3 6" x 6" Oak posts on each side from the 2 per side planned - making 6' centres on the outside of the structure. I have also modified the timber side...

Thanks everyone for the tips - will try the Barkeepers stuff as everything else has failed so far.

Hi All I have bought a HARCOSTAR water butt and need to cut a hole on the top to allow water to ingress - follow link to a picture http://www.greenhousesupply.co.uk/details.asp?prodid=700LitreWaterTank&cat=30 The manufacturers are very 'uncertain' about cutting any holes in same (all...

Hi All, I am looking to make up a raised decking area of 13ft x 13ft some 5ft off the ground at the highest point on a sloping site. It will be 'free standing' on 4 Oak posts either 6" x 6" or 8" x 8" sitting on concrete pads. 4" x 2" will make up the 'framework' set in and bolted to the...

Somewhat of a base subject :oops: but other than replacing a light coloured plastic toilet seat does anyone know how can I remove urine stain that has built up beneath the toilet seat :?: thanks in advance........ :roll:

I left my leather gloves in a sealed container and mould has grown inside and out. They were (are) a decent pair of gloves and I am loathe to bin them - any suggestions as to restoration would be appreciated. thanx in advance

Thanks very much for that research - all sounds very complex and it seems no control by driver - so bang goes the prospect of trying to 'manage' the situation to achieve greter mpg !

Bought a Fiat Doblo 1.3 fitted with a DPF. Very good and seems to work well as no smoke seen as yet in the first 3000 miles. :) Does anyone know how they work - there must be some means of trapping the particulates and then burning them off. What I really want to know is how to keep the...

Anyone completed a wetroom using Caber flooring and if so what other measures did you take to seal the floor. Thought I' ask before considering other options..

Spot on :!: Amazing how these things show up eventually even in Japanese engineered situations - took some time to find it though :(

Anyone any experience of the Honda 400 x 4 cylinder with leaks from the carb. On carb persists in allowing fuel into the float chamber despite all new kit being fitted - an increasing nightmare. Thanks in anticipation.

New 'old' axle obtained today together with a load of other stuff which hopefully will bring the rest of the van back to the superb condition that the engine appears to be in at the moment 8) If notI will have to resort to taking off the tights :wink:

Thanks Ron, it is not the brakes but I suspect worn gears in the axle. We did 300 plus miles yesterday and it is still going so will try the Molyslip to see if that will 'prolong its active life'. A better radio turned up higher will also help I have decided! :wink:

Ron, Thanks for thehe response - it is a 1999 Susuki Carry 1.3 van, rear wheel drive with 83 k on the clock - mileage looks genuine. Always difficult to describe noise but it is apparant from say 45 mph and drowned out at higher speeds. Have had the rear wheels off and nothing fouling. There...

The FNS indicator on my daughters Megane has stopped working which is the same fault as her previous Megane - anyone else suffer the same fault ?

:?: It is some years since I last owned a vehicle with a rear axle that drives the wheels. The old banger that I am now in is tending to make a rubbing noise at speed which I suspect is coming from the axle. Oil changed today - it was pretty crop that came out. Can anyone offer any thoughts as...

All sorted - work from under theseats and beneath the vehicle - no problems. Japanese technology at its best!!!

Hello, has anyone completed a cam belt change on the Suzuki Carry / Bedford Rascal vans please? Is it an engine out job or a real fiddle? Any advice would be appreciated - no manual as yet. Thanx.

Thanks for the advice. It is a lined pond with brickwork at the top which requires sealing, no leaks yet! - just wanting to know if the stuff we have is off or OK shelf life to use. Am trying now to get manufacturer but long delays in answering.
