Start a claim with ebay sending in the photos as proof of "not as described" if he's listing them as genuine and you'll get a full refund after 10 days(?) Did they come in the correct boxes? Is the seller a trader and does he sell lots of service items?

Yes i'll enquire in store, i was hoping there were fitted on here who could tell me what they do

The lino in our kitchen is looking very sad, it's seems to be very thin so you can see the outline of the floorboards underneath and these don't seem to be perfectly level. If we bought some new cushion floor from a flooring company would they insist on us moving all the appliances out ready for...

I upgraded the stereo on an Audi A3 many years ago (similar setup to the Golf) and had to upgrade the aerial connection - it was 1 of 2 parts which sits in the tailgate behind the plastic trims either side of the window

Thanks for the reply Should i use some sealant topped up with sharp sand to bridge the gap as best as possible? i was thinking this would stop large amounts of water settling in the gap during winter and contracting when it freezes causing more damage?

We have some long cracks in the concrete driveway leading to the detached garage. These have been there for several years but during winteres they seem to be getting slightly worse. The driveway is the rough concrete (sort of racked effect side to side which helps with grip in the snow) and i'm...

Hi I'm wanting to make a raised decked walkway at the side of my garage which is approx 3ft higher than the lawn which is on top of a clay base so gets waterlogged when it rains. I was thinking of putting wooden treated sleepers as a border then bulding them higher so they're almost level with...

Hi I'm wanting to repaint the interior woodwork gloss white using water based paint as the oil based i used a couple of years ago went yellowish (after a few weeks) and is looking drab. I understand using WB over OB paint isn't straight forward and i've heard about Zinsser coverstain so is this...

Do you replace the strimmer when the line is finished or buy a replacement spool with new line? I've had a Qualcast for several years which i've replaced the spool countless times with lines of various thicknesses - these keep snapping when in contact with concrete blocks/ large stones I've now...

We have an enclosed lawn at the back of the house so as well as keeping cats + dogs off the front the slate will be a lot easier to maintain during the summer - the blue slate looks attractive and will compliment the gravel in another part of the front garden. I'll look for the glyphosate weed...

Thanks - any recommendations for strong weedkiller?

Hi Due to lazy dog walkers letting their dogs leave their mess on a small lawn to the side of the house i'm looking to replace this with some loose slate chippings as i'm told dogs/ cats don't like walking on sharp chippings. This lawn is a triangle shape and maybe 4 square meters in total? If i...

Thanks - longer back up is just for when power is disconnected isn't it?

Hi The hose alarm back up battery has corroded at the terminal (15+ years old) so i'm looking to replace it. The current battery spec is 12V2.4AH but looking online all i can find are 2.1AH and 2.3AH - will these work ok? Thanks

I'm wanting to repaint the skirting boards as the previous coat has yellowed (oil based) so i'm going to be using water based. I'm not sure how to keep the paint away from the carpet as i don't really want to peel it back as it never goes back nice and tight. Has anyone any other ideas (maybe...

It stops condensation on the door. I painted the walls (it a sectional concrete garage) with masonary paint but found in winter the walls were cold so decided to fix batons to the walls then use moisture resistant chipboard flooring for the walls with some poly insulation slipped behind. I then...
