    Shower screen seal - that tiny little gap!!

    It's a poor design, the shower screen at my GF's house has the same problem. Here's my (untried) suggestion - with the screen open, coat the plastic strip at the end with washing up liquid. Then close the screen & gun the gap in with white silicone. Leave the screen closed for 24 hours. The...

    Identify socket brand

    I have to agree though, they do look wrong. If having two central adjacent switches causes confusion - you shouldn't be alive. Case closed. (Bangs gavel). Edit: or not knowing what adjacent means. (kills self).

    Problem with socket

    Seems to me that there is nothing wrong with the English used - makes perfect sense.

    What's the problem?! There's already two wires in the bottom terminal, much more room in the top one! :lol:

    Annoying Squeaking

    Hi John, This is the part that is confusing me as the squeak is worse with the clutch depressed (have I got my engaged/disengaged mixed up?)

    Annoying Squeaking

    Thanks for the response John. I'm certainly not going to get the engine & g/box separated just to solve the squeak, as long as it's not going to imminently cause catastrophic failure of more expensive parts! It seems odd to me that it squeaks worse when the clutch is disengaged? But i'm...

    Annoying Squeaking

    Hi All, My car has developed an annoying squeaking from the engine (Pug 206 1.4 16v). It sounds like birds twittering I suppose. It only happens when warm, only at idle. I thought it maybe the aux drive belt or tensioner, but it's coming from the gearbox side of the engine bay...

    Sofa Springs

    Thanks for the reply Tony. It isn't the cost that puts me off replacing them, it's the fact I would need to dismantle the sofa further including the upholstery & I don't really do upholstery! You have given me an idea though - I'm thinking of a piece of metal tubing slid over the two...

    HUMAX FREEVIEW

    I think this may be spot on, my 9200T does this every time I run an automatic scan and can cause just those problems. The give away is some doubled up channels in the 800 slots. The way I get around it is to look up your chosen transmitter here: www.mb21.co.uk and write down the six channel...

    This appears to be the O-fficial word on the steet:- http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/MOT%20Inspection%20Manual.pdf DIY ICE enthusiasts had better secure their wiring! Also sounds like there is no room for a fixed seat.

    Infrared

    Not strictly electrics I know, but has anyone got any knowledge on the following: We've all seen the nature programs on the telly, where they film animals & birds in their "natural" habitat, using infrared night cameras. I was wondering, as animals & birds eyes all work in a different way to...

    peugeot 206

    Hi there, Are you sure it's the relay you can hear? My 206 has a generated "tick tock" sound that emanates from under the steering column. Have you checked the fuse?

    Power Surges

    When you have storage heating installed, yes, I can understand that - but every time you wish to switch them on?!
