Cheers SFK the Baypole ones look spot on don’t they. I’ll give them a go! It’s really quite thin metal so reckon they’ll go through. Thanks for the links.

I need to buy half a dozen of these screws to screw L-brackets into a metal leg on a campervan rock and roll bed. They're 15mm in length with quite a wide head. I think they're called self-tapping?? I've tried B&Q and a local DIY shop and searching online but not having any joy :( Any tips...

It’s much better for sure (used Brasso) but not perfect. It’ll do for me anyway!

GET IN!! Thanks everyone - you’ve just pretty much doubled my broadband speed! (I know it’s still rubbish but it’s good for rural Wales!)

I’m guessing if I have to re-connect strands I only need to worry about the blue and white/blue pair right?

Interesting. He obviously never spotted socket 3 in the lounge and just assumed that there was no master socket :(

Thanks both that’s brilliant. Will have a go tomorrow.

Recently moved into 3-year old new build. Master socket in garage and three phone sockets in lounge. Issue is slow broadband (Openreach have tested incoming speed at master socket at 30mb+ but by the time it gets through the house internal wiring to the lounge sockets speed has halved :( The...

Plumber just been round - here's your answer folks. It's a combi boiler with a two zone heating system so hot water is always available apparently and the control below is just badly labelled. The left hand side is actually the upstairs radiators and the right hand side (labelled hot water) is...

I think it may be the thermostat? When I turn the upstairs one the boiler kicks in but if I turn that off and then turn the downstairs one up the boiler does nothing :(

Hmmm I’m still having bother. Have an upstairs and downstairs thermostat. Both on full. Upstairs ok but downstairs radiators still cold :( Any ideas?

*******s! Of course! Cheers mate!

Hi all. Before I call out the landlord I wondered if I might have missed anything. Three year old new build - been here a few months. Turned central heating on for first time today but radiators all cold. Hot water is fine. Anything else I might have missed? Cheers!

Brill. Standard hex heads seem A LOT easier to come by. Cheers.

Yeah the garage said they could move the brackets along to a fresh spot.

Thanks gents. I'm starting to understand a bit more! They were actually holding on a pair of side step rails on a VW T5 - as you can see they've corroded to buggery and I need to replace them all.

Bloody hell that looks pretty good doesn't it! Cheers! So they're t-slot bolts?

I need to replace 12 of these nuts and bolts but am struggling to know what to search for. I'm told they need to be stainless steel (they go underneath a vehicle) and I believe the 8.8 is important? I've measured them as M8x20 but the square 'head' on the top seems unusual (and is important)...

Arghhh!! Yep near a main road too. Will give the Brasso a go and see what happens!

Moved into a three year old house and letterbox is looking like this :( Any ideas what I could clean it with?
