Tim, I'm afraid that doesn't work. :cry:

jj, I can use the simcard in the other phone, but it doesn't have the saved messages, only my phone numbers. I don't know about software & a reader, though. What is that?

Thanks for trying. I am holding out hope some of the geniuses on here might be able to help. :D

Hello, no to both, I think. I have another (Motorola Brick) mobile which is still working after 8 years. I can use that but the Siemens has lots of stored messages I want to keep. I have seen plenty of reference to this A60 problem on the internet and there are ways of fixing it, but I...

Hi, I hope I am posting this in the right section. I have a Siemens A60 mobile which was working perfectly for over a year then suddenly when I tried to turn it on all it does is light up briefly, buzz and go out. Thinking it might be the battery (although I keep it well charged) I tried...

Thanks Matty - I did wonder about that. I'll have a look tomorrow and cross my fingers. Thanks again for giving me the confidence to try. I have done as you said and now it is as firm as all the others. I did have to use a fine pointed knife to remove the little caps.

ooops! Can't even do that right! :oops: Is that clear enough or do you need more pics? The bit that is loose is where the oval section meets the frame.

Hello again my heroes, can anyone help me with my latest problem? The handle on one of my small double glazed windows is so loose I hardly ever open that window in case it comes away in my hand. If you can see from my photo, there is a small gap between the handle and the window frame. Is...

I wonder if someone can tell me what they think of the settings I have made? As I am just on my own I don't have the hot water set to continuously heating up, to keep costs down.

Thank you for putting my mind at rest. I'll just carry on like this then till I can save up to get it sorted.

Thanks, Gasguru. Would it be dangerous to keep running it like this? What would happen if I did?

Hello again, I have another problem I am hoping you can help with. I have a Vaillant Turbomax (Plus?) combi just 6 years old. Being untechnical I have never used the automatic timer to run it, just switched on manually when required. For some months the hot water has been temperamental...

Thanks, people. As this cooker is probably about twenty years old and I am not a huge enthusiast of cooker-cleaning, you can imagine what a savoury job it might be to dismantle the door. Especially bearing in mind Tickly's cautionary tale! I might never get the door together again. I think...

Hi, it's me again! :D You have helped me with my loo, and my washing machine - now I am wondering if anyone can help me fix my cooker. I have a Parkinson Cowan 1900 De Luxe gas cooker, which is pretty old but works well. My problem is the oven's drop-down door seems to have come off...

So practical! Thank you.

Breezer - do you think I might manage by doing this each time I use the machine, for a bit longer? Or even a lot longer? By the way, thanks for your very clear directions.

Right. With a small pair of pliers and Very Carefully I have turned them off. Now I'll wait and see what happens.

Here's a pic of the pipes, I think they are plumbed into the bath taps other side of the wall. They are very green at the bottom .. Can you tell me what to do? I have no idea where to start. I have tried turning the red and blue plastic flaps but not sure which way, and they won't move...

Hi again. You were brilliant with your help for my wc cistern, now I am hoping for some advice for my washing machine. I have a Whirlpool AWM 820 which has been working fine for 12 years. It only gets light use, just for myself. The spin empties the water and the clothes are dried damp...

This is a hard water area so I think it must also have been silting up, and the new force of the water has cleared it out. Brilliant result.
