I need to replace our toilet flush as its making a lot of noise. The existing one has an external overflow pipe but I'd like the new flush with an internal overflow as we're due to have an extension built where the existing overflow pipe exits. Toolstation have the following available in 9.5"...

Thanks for your help guys: DC77 - Didn't thing of stainless but I may give these a try if I can't get chrome at a reasonable price. Big-All - Yes they are 6's - I got some 6 x 1" in brass and they fit perfect (except the wrong colour!). Thanks for the link but I tried Screwsline and they...

Yes I agree. Just not sure where I can get them from though - tried Screwfix, Tool Station, Ironmongary Direct and all the sheds. It appears that c/s slotted screws are (generally) only available in steel or brass :?

We have changed all the locks, handles and hinges on our internal doors from brass to chrome to match the new decor. Does anybody know where I can get 6 x 1" chrome plated countersunk slotted wood screws from at a reasonable price? I have 14 doors to do and have been quoted £32 + P&P for...

Is it possible to change the colour of WBP plywood by stain or wood dye and which is the best? It is for exterior use so I will then want to cover it with a few coats of yatch varnish. Is this the best way to go about it or are there any alternatives? Thank you

You are a clever lot :D Rang the Ryobi Helpline this morning - they were already aware that a number of machines went out in the UK with the European spec. A 1/2" collet is on its way to me... On a related note can anyone recommend a router table for use with this machine? I don't...

The instructions and the pictures on the box refer to 1/2" and 1/4" collets -just my luck they put a European spec machine in :( I'll give the Ryobi helpline a bell on Monday and see what they say. Hopefully they can just send me the correct collet. As I said - I got the machine at...

Thanks Big-All Yes - I have removed the collet and it will not fit on either of the two 1/2" cutters I've bought It will also not take the 1/4" reduction sleeve that came with the machine. The 1/2" cutters were bought from Toolstation (cheapies) but the reduction collet came with...

I have just got round using my Ryobi ERT-2100V router that I got for Christmas and I've hit a problem. The 1/2" router bits will not fit in the collet - they appear to be slightly larger in diameter (around 0.5 mm). The router came with an adaptor to enable 1/4" bits to be used and this is...

Thanks Guys. Foxhole - Sorry mate but SWMBO thinks this will "look wrong" :roll: Big-All - I have convinced SWMBO that the edges of the timber will not show when fitted as you suggested and painted. Hopefully she will be content with this :) Has anybody fitted these Richard Burridge...

Can anyone please help us open our UPVC backdoor? It is multipoint lock where you raise the door handle to engage the top and bottom bolts and then turn the key to engage the central lock. It has been difficult to open the door for a couple of weeks and we noticed that the central lock was...

The LV cable is flat 2 * 0.75mm2 HO3VVH2-F 300/300V I've had a Google and this seems to be rated at 240V. I assume this is ok to run in the same conduit as the 240v pump cable then? Thanks for the tip about the RCD sockets - I didn''t know these existed. Much neater than the plug in...

Good morning, I been persuaded to buy a water feature for the garden and I'm looking to install it today. It came as a kit and requires two power supplies - one for the 240v pump and one (via a transformer) for the 12v LED's. The plan is to plug these into existing sockets in the...

Sorry I'm getting confused now :shock: We want to go from: BT socket in the hall. This has got a phone plugged in but I understand the extension can be taken from the removable lower panel. To the lounge where the Sky box and a second phone will be plugged in. From the lounge to...

Great thanks Guys. I'm off work this week so I'll go and get some bits tomorrow. And is it ok to run the phone cable in the same trunking as the speaker cables?

We need to run two extensions from our BT socket which is located in the hall. One of these is going into the lounge (for a phone and the Sky box) and the second is going into the dining room (for another phone and broadband). A few questions if I may: 1) Because of the house layout it...

Back again :roll: Bled the radiators and the pump and when running on C/H only the system is working fine. However when the H/W is on the pump runs for a few mins and then starts making a noise. We switch the pump off and bleed it and all is well for a few mins until it starts again...
