Flymo Quicksilver 46sd with Briggs and Stratton 450 series 4 stroke engine. A year or two ago the above mower was hunting and puffing black smoke, I replaced the diaphragm under the carb and it was running sweetly. It rested up last winter (nothing drained down), I had a bit of a job getting it...

Is that a piece of T&E connected to the earth clamp (exiting to the right)?

Heh! There's not too many about I know, but no that wasn't mine. :lol:

I've got one of those! :wink:

That looks like two tails & one T&E to me!

Ah! I thought Westie would have the answer. Is it likely to still be in use - it looks like it's still connected?

This LV distribution pole is located in a large residential area where fenced transformers on the ground are the norm, I can see no feeds going up the pole & the street lamp gear is obvious. Anyone got any ideas what the small transformery looking device may be for? (This is the only...

Cheers guys, I'll give it a whirl.

Because the actual trim is broken where the clips attach.

My GF did this to the carpet in a rented flat. I managed to remove it completely using some fine grade wet and dry sandpaper (used dry). Hope this helps!

I just wondered if anyone has used Isopon P40 as an adhesive? I have just bought a Honda Civic & the plastic trim over the arches has some broken clips leaving it looking a bit uneven & scrappy. I bought some dedicated spoiler adhesive, but the cure time is well over 24 hours (I need to...

Update: LNB now replaced - so far, so good. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the advice.

We'll, I popped home this afternoon and typically did not get the dropped signal problem. I measured the voltages at the wall plate anyway - 13.2 & 17.8VDC stable. I also looked into & checked the cable, it is a solid copper centre core. So I am reasonably confident that the cable is not the...

Yes, they are fully screened, I intend to hook a small gauge insulated wire into the centre pole and carefully close the clamp back down.

Yes, I hope it's not the cause of the problem. I propose to check the voltage at the wall plate during the fault condition (13 and 18v I believe) lnb under load.

Well, owing to the amount of work involved in replacing the cable - I hate that comment with a passion! Note for later - do your homework! :oops:

Hi Sam, No, the long run is labgear shotgun from screwfix (not very good), do you think it could be down to cable impedance/volt drop rather than signal loss?

Just a quick follow-up: I had some spare time after all, so I connected the decoder to the other 2 lnb outputs (in the other room) and left it in standby while at work. That night it behaved itself impeccably for an hour or so. I then moved it to the problem room, where it also behaved for...

Cheers Chris, I will do that soon (away for a while now) and report back. Thanks again for the input.
