    Samsung Galaxy J4+/Alcatel

    I have a Samsung Galaxy J4+ and My Wife has an Alcatel Phone. What I don't understand is that I use the Galaxy-J4+ Diary app and entries Generate a Notification on the day the entries are relevant. What is odd is that my wife's phone also gets these notifications and I dont know how this occurs...

    Small Sit On Lawn Mowers

    My Mountfield 827H definitely did NOT have an Engine Driven Alternator charging system. The charging of the battery had to be undertaken using a Mountfield supplied Mains battery charger. My 827H was returned to the supplier as two attempts to 'FIX' the Starting Problem by the dealer failed and...

    iMac Not opening PDF files

    Just looked at the process of installing Chrome OS Flex. The process scares the life out of me. I could envisage me getting into very deep water very quickly to the point of drowning. It is beyond my experience and knowledge to even attempt it. Even simple questions of which iMac's are certified...

    iMac Not opening PDF files

    Nearly right on the iMac age. it is 14 years old, still working OK but a nightmare to use now as Apple just does't support it. This PDF viewing is a typical issue. I am going to downgrade to a WIndows laptop soon but the problem then will be transporting all of my files from the iMac to a...

    iMac Not opening PDF files

    PDF Gear will not down load onto my Mac as my version is 10.10.5 and PDF gear requires 10.14 or later. My Steam Driven Mac is giving me all sorts of issues as Apple in their wisdom won't allow updates on older machines. WIndows Beckons

    iMac Not opening PDF files

    Hi Wayners, All the versions of Google Doc's Apps I have tried to download won't download as the version of my Mac is to old. Apple score again with forcing users to buy a New Mac. If I do by a new Laptop it will be a WIndows Machine.

    iMac Not opening PDF files

    My iMac has the the latest up to date OS which can be installed thanks to Apple not allowing any further updates. the OS is OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5. Apple in their wisdom will not allow any further upgrades and the ageing iMac is stuck in this unacceptable time warp. I have issues with the...

    Cold Water Supply Isolation.

    Thanks so much Foxhole, I had a look at my Meter and there it was, the isolation valve you identified. What I noticed was that the cylinder in which the water meter is located (which is Identical to your picture) is Full of water almost to the Access Cover . Clearly I have no idea if this is...

    Cold Water Supply Isolation.

    Hi Foxhole Thereby hangs a dilemma!! I think you are spot on, the taps closest to the isolation valves were the ones passing water. In doing so stopped pressure getting to the other taps on the system. If the primary isolation valve is passing then how can that tap be changed? As it is inside...

    Cold Water Supply Isolation.

    Hi Foxhole, Thanks so much for your reply. I should have mentioned the CH/Hot Water System is a closed sealed system manufactured by Gledhill - Accolade. It was installed when my house was built 25 years ago and apart from a few age related issues, has operated admirably. The isolation to which...

    Cold Water Supply Isolation.

    I needed to replace a hot and cold taps in my bathroom, As there was no local isolation valves for these taps, it was necessary for me to Isolate the Cold water supply tap, and as a precaution I also Isolated the supply entering my Hot Water cylinder. There was a very odd result to this...

    Thanks JohnD, That seems an excellent suggestion, never thought of that one. Have you any idea of what Glue would be most suitable. I didn't understand the 'Edit - Sorry Too Slow.' ??

    Garden Line (B&Q) Garden Vacuum/Blower

    The bag has to be able to pass the air discharging from the blower and filter the debris, so a plastic bag just would not work.

    Garden Line (B&Q) Garden Vacuum/Blower

    I have a Garden Line Garden Vac/Blower, Bought from B&Q a few years ago. The machine is excellent but the collecting bag, which is also a filter is absolute garbage and unfit for purpose. I have bought several replacements at a ridiculous price as they do not last very long due to the material...

    Scott Lawn Spreader Lubrication

    Thanks Burnerman, Popped the Hub caps off but no bearing visible, only a split pin to keep the wheel in the Axle Tube. Access to the bearing will be possible I think If I remove the wheels then maybe the axle will be removable. I'll have a go but past experience of these cheep products is...

    Scott Lawn Spreader Lubrication

    Thanks jj, my concerns regarding oil based lubrication is only based on intuition. I think replacement bearing would be only marginally cheaper than buying a replacement spreader. Oil would attract dust and as such cause a problem. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Scott Lawn Spreader Lubrication

    I have a Scotts Lawn Spreader in Good condition although the Spreader Bar 'Bearings' are becoming rather stiff suggesting a need for lubrication. Has anyone any suggestion as to what to use for this operation. I think there would be a problem using Oil such as '3 in 1' light lubrication oil or...
