This is a mystery. About 13 years ago I had our old original bedroom cupboard doors dipped and stripped down to the bare wood. Ever since the edges of both doors have always been almost wet with moisture. The house isn't damp (old as it is) and we run a dehumidifier but the wood always seems to...

I will just go over it with the pen for now and see what happens. One thing for sure, I will never again buy a decent car as long as I live in this house. I will rue the day I didn't buy a house with a private driveway. Yes, might get one of those cameras but not sure scratching would trigger...

Something like chips away ? I think if I had a safe place to leave it I would invest the money but for now it's money down the drain because they will keep doing it. I will just go over it with the pen for now (I already have one) just to keep the water out as it is down to white. I have never...

I am again (see my other post) getting my 2002 Polo scratched by some lovely person/people. I used one of those pens from Asda which take the edge off it but the car has so many marks it just looks vagrant (despite me looking after it) I would pay to have the bodywork repaired but they could...

Well, I have come outside and it has happened again after the best part of a 2 year lull. This time there is a deep scratch and then some scribbling marks. It's just so depressing. Time to get CCTV and the next house with a private driveway. To be honest, the amount of dog fouling we are getting...

Thanks. The circumstances are a bit complex but my Mum ran out of time and I feel for the money she did ok. Even if it lasts a couple of years. The lad was very transparent about what it had had done. The head gasket had been skimmed and he had the sense to change the cam belt at the same time...

Well we got it and its in very good condition for the year. The guy selling it did the cam belt, head gasket and clutch. All those major things are at least now done so hopefuly it will do. Didnt see any jap cars and had no replies to this post before we went so whats done is done. She only...

We are going to look at this later: 1.6 Rover 25 (2001) for sale Good condition Inside few age related marks inside 12 months mot Tax till april 30th 2014 Recent alternator Head gasket Cam belt Thermostat Clutch Oil and filter and air filter 500 with the tax 425 without

I am not sure. It was never mentioned.

A local dealer has a ford Ka 2003 for £800 with a years mot. Would it be worth knocking him down ?

Had a look at it and inside was not in good condition. Very strong perfume smell of oils which i still have on my hand now despite washing a lot. Think perhaps hoding a smell of damp. There was some condensation inside the car on the windows. Drove very badly and gears were hard to find. Left it.

Sorry, I forgot to say 12 months MOT and taxed till April. Won't be able get anyone look at it today so will have to make a decision there and then.

Ok, my mum has seen a car for sale local private. It's a W reg Corsa with 73K in good condition. The lady wants £650 ono. We hope to get her down to around £550 ?

Well I measured the toilet and got the part but it is too long by about a couple of cm. Can I cut it down at the end that goes into the main out pipe ?

The Nissan Micra is way out of her price range I am afraid. Even the 1995 model is £495 looking at Parkers. Again, the 406 lowest price on Parkers comes up at £795

My mother needs a small run around car to get to town and back. Nothing fancy but she only has £300, £400 at a push. Is it possible to get something that is Reliable Cheap to run Safe Cheap to tax For this money ? If so I would be grateful for any suggestions on makes to look at...

Ok, just before I order I measured the length of the pipe and it's about 160 mm (allowing 4cm inside the lead pipe) Would this be a safe bet and if so, which are the best prices online to buy from ? http://www.mcalpineplumbing.com/4-110mm-flexible-wc-connector-medium-length.html Cheers.

Ok, much appreciated. I will replace with a flexable.

Looking at it wouldn't the 14 degree angle be too much of a slope ? Again, couldn't I seal it with plumber's putty ? Thanks.

I know it looks a pig's ear but this is what we inherited when we moved in. The out pipe is lead. The black band is my sealing with black gutter seal. It's holds for a few days but obviously I need a better solution.
