Do you know what the units are? A 12K ohm resistance to ground is sufficient to produce a 20mA earth leakage which is about what you need to trip a circuit breaker although it varies on type and age. You can get situations where power needs to be applied to provide power to a motor etc... so it...

Are you sure it is tripping due to excess current and not earth leakage?

A couple of years ago I added insulation in the loft and a few months ago I replaced the old wooden frame windows with PVC mainly because the windows were starting to blow but the new ones are a lot quieter and seal better. I have now been offered free cavity wall insulation and as I am end...

Dulux sell direct and often the prices for larger quantities are much cheaper than the high street even when you take postage into account. e.g I recently bought www.amazon.co.uk/Dulux-Quick-Satinwood-Brilliant-White/dp/B00M710776

Bad wording on my part. Mainly I was looking at http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/buildingregulations/approveddocuments/partf/windows which re-reading the summary seems to only be saying that you no longer must have trickle vents even if the originals didn't have them. The actual regulations...

I have done a little searching and the ventilation regs had an amendment in 2006 so that new windows no longer must have trickle vents if the originals did. However the overall ventilation must still be sufficient. To be fair to the windows company they did say a forced air exchanger should be...

Had the front room and main bedroom wooden windows replaced with PVC ones about a year ago. The wooden ones used to get a lot of condensation which was caused by poor insulation. The new ones are considerably better and it is rare to even see any condensation. The new ones don't have trickle...

The supply to the light is the existing lighting circuit which is already in the loft. The LED panel combined with the good sized battery backup just means when the lighting circuit is turned off the light still provides plenty of illumination for up to 3 hours.

Can you easily run the mains up into the loft area? If not then an alternative but more costly option would be something like :- https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Energy_Saving_Index/LEDlite_Modulars/index.html The panel itself is equivalent to 6*18W fluorescent tubes or 108W of...

I have been replacing the old extractor fan in the bathroom which had a back box which was simply pushed through a hole in the ceiling. So I have put in a couple of braces between the rafters and fixed a piece of plasterboard in the space and cut out the correct sized hole for the new vent :-...

I had a fan in the bathroom which was just a square box which was pushed up through a square hole in the plasterboard. It was only held up there by friction so after starting to decorate the bathroom I have decided to replace it. I would like to fit something like...

The oilpump issue was mainly with the BLB engine. Audi changed the design later to be gear driven. A 2007 or later model should be fine but check the engine code just to be sure.

It's a scam. They try to get you to install spyware on your machine and then sell you some bogus software to fix the imaginary problem.

Agree about the cat. My old BMW had a rattle from the cat but I got it placed under warranty. It never caused a problem but if it depends if it breaks in such a way it can restrict the airflow. What sort of engine is it? Obviously petrol but does it have a turbo? The pipe from the turbo to...

Maybe the boost pressure sensor for the turbo?

Something like this maybe? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sharp-inch-Sound-Bar-System/dp/B004RMFSKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320070911&sr=8-1

I doubt it. Hdmi is digital. The cable was probably for a specific piece of equipment which happened to have analogue outputs on some of the unused hdmi pins.

I think the engine itself has a longer life but with most of them now having turbos and a lot having DPF I suspect diesels may well start being scrapped earlier due to these high cost parts failing and making it uneconomical to repair.

Did windows start to boot? If it did then you might be able to get a new drive, reinstall windows and then put the old disk in as a second one and copy some data off it. If windows didn't even start booting then most likely the whole drive has failed.

I am sure you will be happy with it. Have a look for the appshopper app. You can use it to lookup if an app gets reduced in price frequently and then if it does you can mark it and appshopper will notify you.
