I've spoken to TT and they've confirmed my Fibre internet service is FTTC and they also advised that they're currently rolling out their FTTP service which will be available in my area soon if I'm interested. Disappointing that the VM rep was trying to convince me that TT's Fibre is only to the...

I had a Virgin Media rep at my door earlier today. He was adamant the Talktalk Fibre internet I have is fibre only to the local exchange then copper cable the rest of the way to the house. I believed being FTTC, TT's fibre service was as far as the street cabinets and from there, copper on to...

Job done. I've now got got the door square in the frame. Its not going to help with thermal insulation be its an external door on a conservatory with a polycarbonate roof although I may look to get the roof changed to an insulated tiled roof. Thanks for posting the diagram, much appreciated.

I've got the HZ adjustment sorted, having moved the door across to the lock side a few mm so the latch is catching and the gap between the frame and seal is solved. Does anyone how to adjust this type of hinge for height and also bring the door closer to the frame on the hinge side?

Would just like to know what the preferred coax cable for the likes of signal for Sky+ HD reception from a satellite TV dish please. Any opinions?

Thanks All!

What are the recommended aerials types to receive Freeview TV? I'm presuming HD channels are available on Freeview.

Does anyone know if the Sky DRX series of HD boxes that have wifi allow the TV signal to be received via fibre from any wifi router?

Since starting this post, I took a punt on a Sky+ DRX890C box listed on ebay. Installed it today and I'm very pleased with it.

On the matter of tuning in a receiver to satellite dish, you can tune the signal using the set up menu on the TV. I got my signal strength and signal quality to about 70%. Does using a signal meter provide improved accuracy? Perhaps not always convenient to see a TV screen when tuning in?

I've taken a punt on the TOPDON ArtiDiag800BT (not an affiliate link by the way) I contacted Topdon to see if the ebay seller in the link is approved by them. Their reply, "Yes, this is one of our authorized online sellers." I get FOC lifetime updates and with the discount offer that allegedly...

The Topdon ArtiDiag800BT is a higher spec compared to the 600 I linked to above and well reviewed on YT. It has life time free updates. Have sent an inquiry to see if it supports 2003/04 cars.

I've decided to invest in an OBD scanner that does more than my Aldi source code reader. I want one that supports ABS. Having looked across YT, I came across this TOPDON product. Comments welcome please.

On my house, which I've lived at for two years, there's a sky dish which presumably was installed at the time of the house build back in 2003/04. All the other houses in the street have a dish too. I've just tuned my old Grudig Digibox in which I've had since 2005. I can get the likes of...

Will investigate further!

I returned the car this morning and I had a ride out in the car with its owner, she heard the slight knocking and pointed it out to me. It actually happened on a nice straight smooth stretch of road rather than a bumpy stretch. Seemed to be on the n/s under the bulkhead. No loose heat shields...

I have actually fitted two new tyres to my own car a few years back. Purchased online and spent an enjoyable Saturday afternoon fitting them. Apology from Mottie accepted.

The tyre size in question is 195 55 16. The tyre centre I went to stocks budget new and part worn tyres. We've never had bother with them, a sole operator who's been in business for 40 years or so. The annoying thing about tyres is, even if new, you get a puncture close to the shoulder or...
