Hi I know this will be a stupid question but can someone tell me which part of a tap valve the spline actually is ? I need to replace the cartridge valve in my kitchen sink tap but, since the replacement valves I have seen (in a certain DIY chain) have sizes based on splines, I don't know...

Thanks for all your suggestions. Cheers

Deluks - sorry not sure what you mean. Do you mean the inside of the shed or the outside of the shed on the house side ? The felt on the roof goes maybe 2 or 3 inches down the left hand side of the shed from the roof. Nothing further down. Gap between house and shed is maybe 1-2 inches. As...

Guys Thanks for the help. Not a quick fix then .... Oh well - a small project for some weekend. Cheers

Photos included One is a front view showing the house on the left and the fence on the right. The other is a view to the right side showing the shed and fence posts. Thanks

Big-All Will get pictures as soon as I can get them in daylight, work permitting. Possibly tomorrow. Cheers

Hi big-all The inaccessible sides are on both the long sides. Roof slopes long side to long side. The roof does extend a couple of inches over the side wall where I think the water is getting in at the bottom. The roof obviously isn't stopping the fence getting soaked and water running...

Hi It's an all wooden shed. But, as I said, I don't believe the water is coming in via the roof since I sealed some dodgy joints in the covering. There is no water visible on the ceiling or walls but just the floor and it looks like it's coming in from the joint between the floor and wall.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry - should have said. The shed is already on bricks (corners and a couple of places along the length) so isn't actually at ground level. This is why it's confusing how it's still getting wet. Only thing I can think of is it's running down the sides and in...

Hi We have a garden shed which was here before we moved in. How it was built I don't know as it is in a 5 foot gap between the house and the fence between the properties. It is only about 2 inches from the outside wall of the house and butted up against the fence posts on the other side. This...

Thanks for that - kind of what I was expecting. Cheers

Hi We've finally had to replace our old washing machine due to an ever increasing list of faults - one of which was leaking. It's left some pretty bad staining on the laminate underneath. It's stained because I think the water was dirty due to the leak coming out via the drum and so probably...

Hi We have a Hotpoint Aquarius 1100 which has developed a VERY loud noise when on its spin cycle. It's a rattle/clunking noise which sounds like it's coming from inside the drum. The machine has a couple of other niggly faults which we've lived with until now but is this the final straw...

Hi We have an ongoing problem with our Hotpoint Aquarius 1100 (WD61) washing machine in that it regularly trips the circuit breaker of the mains socket it is connected to. Originally the problem only happened during a drying cycle so we weren't too bothered as we could live without the...

Thanks for the replies. I did think that myself. We don't have/want a tumble dryer at the moment but you never know - maybe in the future. So just want to keep the option so we don't need to reopen the hole or make a new one. Cheers

We have a hole in our kitchen wall which the previous occupants obviously had used for venting a tumble dryer. There is a shielded vent on the outside wall but just the hole on the inside. I'd like to block at least the inside (if not both sides) and I was just going to screw a square piece...

Started getting an "Oil Pressure Insufficient" message a couple of days ago. So far message only appears below about 2000 revs, but may be getting worse at it was initially only at about 1200. There is plenty of oil in the car. I've been advised it could be a number of things - pressure...
