Hi, Its a 1.1 ford feista 93, carb model. Previously over the last couple of months it was stalling but would start fine. Now its failing to start most of the time unless i do a trick I read about which is, 1. pull the number 20 fuse out for the INJ, 2. then start the car the engine...

Found another couple of simular patches last night as its dried, it appears that the skim in certains places has not bonded to the ceiling, so has blistered Am I being resonable asking my plasterer to come back and sort it for free, or its just part and parcel of having a ceiling skimmed ?

Had whole large room walls and ceilings skimmed. I noticed this morning in one place in the centre of the ceiling the plaster had bubbled the patch was about 3 x 50p's in size, pushed the bubble and it just cracked, this is the only place its happened. Can I just pick off the bubbled skim and...

Any tips or tricks on how to fit radiator brackets correctly first time. Took radiator off for plastering and forgot to tell plasterer to not plaster over them so he plastered over them and I lost the screw holes :(

Thats what I thought, to be honest I thought the tactics they all used were so well known by joe public they wouldnt try it on, I felt patronised that they could think I was so stupied, I just wanted to do business, in the end I didnt go with any of them. First time Ive dealt with double glazing...

Hi, Ok sorry to ask this but I cant face another double glazing salesman, had 3 companies in for a quotes, each stayed ages took for ever to give me a quote, they all wanted to put a sign out side you house, all wanted to call their manager and all wanted a decision there and then, and quotes...

Hi, In a semi-detached house and have 2 very large windows in the hall going up the stairs, old style double glazing small gap. I loose a lot of heat from these windows and its makes the house very cold. I cant have cavity wall insulation (no cavity), so I was looking at double glazing...

Hi, I have I promise searched the forum and though I have seen it detailed before I cant find it now. Basically I want to know how to flush my central heating system ie put the stuff in that will get out the black sludge. Cheers

Did the roof insulations defo helped keep warmth in. But have since found a could feel a lot of cold drafts comming up through the floor boards (all rooms downstairs). I could feel a big stream of cold air comming in from a gap in the door side of the cupboard under the stairs (where gas...

Hi, My loft is already has the floor boarded, beneth the boarding insulation has been laid. I want to upgrade the insulation, can I just add my new insulation (was thinking of the space blankets in B&Q) on top of the boarding or is that pointless ? The problem I have is that they have...

Cool :lol: will upgrade my roof insulation its my only real option now as Ive found out my walls dont have the gaps in needed for cavity insulation, there solid walls meaning I can only use board insulation, and Ive just redecorated the rooms I would use it in :x Whats the best roof...

Hi, I'm having the walls and ceilings in one room skimmed by a plasterer. The walls and ceiling used to have thick wall paper on which I removed with a chemical wall paper stripper solution. What do I need to do to get the walls in the best state for the plasterer, I have already patched...

Mine does, may be what I should of said is that it goes to the pilot light, the pilot light is always lite

Hi thanks for all the replies. Tony you hit the nail on the head, thats what I mean Im not sure if the boiler is supposed to do this or not. If your saying the boiler goes to small flame as a result of the flow temp rather than the thermostate temp in the room it looks like it working ok. All...

Hi I need to remove a raditator, however none of the valves either side of any of my radiators has any of the plastic covers on, meaning I cant tell which is the control valve and which one is the lockshield valve. Basically both ends looks the same, and both ends seem to have give in them when...

n the end he said boiler was ok, just thinks block in system somewhere. Just testing central heating now, have boiler on number 4 and thermostat at 23c, I have my own thermometer next to it. Its defo going back to the small flame before the temp is reached. The BG man when I asked him wasnt...

Quoted £800 for a Power Flush in the end he think there is a blockage in the system, £800 sound alot, its a 3 bedroom house with 7 radititors. He said the boiler was cycling alot due to the blockage not being able to clear the water quick enough.
