Hi Jez, thanks for these, i'll email these now. If you can find others then that would be great. Regards

A little bump on this thread.. We are looking at a property and installing a septic tank, and were told it was a minimum 7m but we have 6.5m! Have seen online that it can be up to the owners discretion, or even 2m plus from a house/bungalow?

Hi Jez Just pm'ing you regarding the MOT retest and the lambda sensor, think you had some VW dealers that would be worth taking to? I'm in Northants, NN14 near Kettering if that helps? Kind Regards

Thanks for all your tips, yes your right time is running out for my re-test! I have heard of this sort of thing before and think that it sits on the drive whether it was just cold and not used as much? Also hear of someone (and many others) failing MOT with £800+ of repairs needed.. Then...

Not exactly sure where the CAT area is? but all i know is that there are no leaks on the drive? (but i suppose this would only occur when its running and pumping out exhaust fumes?) I could leave running on the drive for a while? I am due a service in the next month or so as its due in...

Hi, the car is year 2000 and has around 90k on the clock, as its not used much probably under 10,000 a year if that (I use wife's company car) Do these Lambda figures make sense? So a full tank of Super Unleaded, and an italian tune up means revving it and speeding up the motorway and...

On the emissions sheet (and I was told it was the Lambda) So on the 1st fast idle test and 2nd idle test the CO% and HC ppm say "passed" on both. In both tests on the Lambda : 1st fast idle test : Lambda limits : 0.97 / 1.03 Actual : 1.64 2nd fast idle test : Lambda limits ...

My VW Golf, has just failed its MOT on the LAMBDA Sensor and catalyst, which I need to replace. Are these really expensive?? I also need to re-MOT test and service, and just wondered if anyone here would recommend a good garage to do all 3?

It did seem very low so topped it up to the minimum line with some water. On the 'tank' it did say G12 but not + ? Anyway I shall get some asap, as I've never had to do this from having this Golf for a few years now..

I've just had this error sign come up on the dash, which I've never had before, just from reversing out of my drive.. Now I know it seems pretty obvious, but do I need actual coolant, or as i have seen, can I just top this up with some water so its under the halfway line?

I'm looking at getting or hiring a simple hand held circular saw that would slice through a few pallets I have stacked up plus a fair bit of timber all for winter firewood. What would be the best solution something like a 9" circular saw hire? I just need to cut the wood into 1 foot (or...

I have just pulled the machine out and see that the corrugated pipe (waste?) has a big kink in it! This must have happened when we had the machine moved due to works, and it was placed in a new area. The plumber though hasn't given much slack on the waste pipe! I have tried to press out...

The washer is about 4 years old and was one of their top models with a 5 year guarantee? I dont suppose their is online instructions to do this as i believe drain fault is quite common? Just so i know what im looking for and doing?

Thanks So the pump impeller is the turn thing inside the front corner housing after opening, draining the water and removing the 'stopper'? If so all I can do is put my hand in and turn it, as i dont think anything else removes from this? It seems to turn fine with the slight...

The last 2 washes with our Miele W1714 have ended abruptly with an alarm and 'drain fault' showing on the readout?? I have opened and drained the water manually from the front section at the bottom both times (which it smelt slightly) and cleaned the little filter/stopper that comes away...

No it seems on inspection that the bottom belt that drives the 2 arms has slipped off and broken Its a Briggs Strattton Farmer 5001 rotavator, are these easy to re-fit yourself? or does it need a technician?

I've been using my Rotavator on the allotment fine but after 30 mins of using it, the engine fires up fine, but the blades now fail to go round with the clutch out? Its a Briggs and Stratton motor, yellow rotavator, not sure of the model number, but didnt know whether this was a general...

This maybe dead simple but with some new furniture, I need to move a telephone socket on the skirting along a little Is this as simple as un-screwing, moving along (if the cable allows) and re-attaching to the skirting?

Ok thanks Will try turning up the Boiler Thermostat first, which at the moment, does seem to warm the rooms up quicker, and maybe the problem If not, roughly how much is a new room Thermostat for the hallway, inc labour?

Yes thanks. I have done that and all seems warmer! I thought I was going mad until I saw the boiler thermostat so thought it may be that? Anyway is the boiler thermostat or the room thermostat the one that controls the oil? Obviously I don't want to burn up all of our oil within a week!
