Thank you - I will try this. I guess there is no glue like stuff (like Radweld used in car radiators) that is safe to use ? I have just removed, flushed and replaced the "cool" raditor and the water was clear as a mountain stream. Cheers Kevin

At the highest point in my house, I have one hot radiator that needs bleeding weekly if not daily and at the lowest part of my house I have a radiator that gets lukewarm at best. All other rads work fine. I have a conventional CH system installed in 1985 which is not combi and has a hot...

Have you tried this ?:-> http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039 If that fails and you do not have any other Norton or Symantic software you want to keep, you can delete the sub directories C:/programme files/ norton or c:/programme files / symantic...

I see some really useful tips here (thanks) on how to adjust double glazed windows so that my window no longer has a gap that lets a lot of wind in. It seems that, at least for most windows, toeing and heeling is the only solution. Can I / where can I buy the "packing shims" and do they...

Oh dear, it seems that this is a rare tap ? I will just have to fauc-et.

Well I must marshall my thoughts before posting a question.

Ben, Does this help - I think the different cartridges are required for different pressures. Please see this--> http://showerright.co.uk/aqualisa_replacement_thermostati.htm

I need to replace the ceramic cartridge in the basin tap pictured below and a helpful member of this forum suggested that I contact SA Lunn & Co. I did but no response so far. Lunns sell more than 100 sizes of cartridges (and similar items) and I do not have the equipment to measure...

Thank you, I have now narrowed down the part I need to only 2 possibles and I will order from Lunns as soon as I clarify. Most kind.

I have a very stiff ceramic disc cartridge which cleaning and lubricating has not eased. I guess I have to buy a new cartridge but, as there are many different slight variations, I do not know where to buy the exact one. Does anyone recognise the attached taps please or is there any other...

Nestor_Kelebay, Of course once someone else comes up with an idea it is so simple - thank you very much for a great solution. Is adhesive optional ?

The radiator pipes (22mm or thicker) in my wife's office are hot and continue to heat the small office room although the radiator is turned off. I put some kind of insulation around the pipes, will this reduce the heating effect of the hot pipes ? If so, what kind of insulation might I try...

I'm a newbie but after a couple of recent problems I learned that there is a wide range of both the beading and the rubber strip / gaskets that are secured by the beading. I think posting pictures may help (showing the cross sectional shape / profile of the beading) but is there any chance...

If most / all the windows are having the same problem, is there a common issue : worn rubber, very old windows, er subsidence ? I had two windows fixed recently and it cost £70 - one needed new hinges whilst the other simply needed the existing hinges to be adjusted. Why not try adjusting...

Job done and I learned a lot. For my bedroom window, both the thicker rubber strip (gasket) to be removed and the mitred beading which holds the glass in place were indoors. Getting the gasket to start coming out was tricky but once I got one end out using a thin putty knife and thin...

JP, Thank you - My main objective is to be able to lean out of the window so I will try and remove whatever is easiest in order to achive this. Cheers Headache :)

I need to fix some flashing on my porch, which has come adrift but it is difficult to get a ladder there e.g. neighbour has a big dog. Consequently, I wonder if it would be easier to remove then replace the fixed window immediately above the flashing. The window I want to remove is a...

Have you tried a Ford Focus owners website - I have a very old VW and I found the VW equivalent people were really helpful with clear pictures showing me how to (replace a whole door window mechanism in my case). On my VW there is a triangular piece of plastic, inside the car, which has to be...
