I hope the spring is ok. are. No cracks that I can see. No noise/creak while driving along. Just the vibration shooting through the car when front passenger side hits a pot hole.

Those are the ones I used when I took off a drop link few years back. I've still got some left. I just remembered that the required flexible shaft attachment to positioning at the correct angle for cutting the bolt & nut in 2 halves was damaged (doing the droplink)so I'll need to buy...

After a lot of checking, I'll stick with Febi on the top mount, rubber bearing, bumpers and dust covers. With 2 struts, Meyle is £130, Sachs is £200 and KYB is £233 Which is better between the Sachs & KYB? I've got someone to fit all for around £120. It's tempting to do the job myself but...

I called then up The shock/strut are Japko Droplinks are Borge & Beck bump stop and Rubbers are Febi Top mount and Rubber Bearing is First Line

With 2 of you having same issue with drop links, I think that makes a solid case for not buying some suspension parts given the hassle it takes to fit them in the first place. The only motor factor I know is GSF but I always find them to be more expensive than Euro car parts autodoc.com...

its a 2005 bmw X5 E53 3.0d. I've had it for about 16yrs I was looking at this this on ebay

I can see lots at different price points. and some without known/popular brand names. I am after shock absorber, top mount, drop links. Normally I would just go for Meyle brand but I don't intend on keeping car for more than 2 years since I'll start paying Ulez charge from next week with the...

Is physical examination the way to go then?

That's has got me a bit confused with flow rate added into the mix. Does that mean that water spry coming from the shower head may not be as good as before? Also I was planning to use copper pipe with push-fit elbow joint behind the tiled wall. Is that safe or I should solder elbows to the...

Hi, my central heating system the gravity fed .... with hot tank in airing cupboard. I am in middle of a DIY installation and about to replace existing bath mixer tap (with shower head) to just a bath mixer tap and then install a wall mounted thermostatic bar mixer shower, the exposed type...

I can get the ones they recommend. Just looked at prices and its a bit steep compared to hardie board especially when looking at the 2500 tall ones. I’m now wondering if i should take a chance on them. The previous plasterboard I took out had been there 20yrs without any damage. They house...

Thanks very much. I understand that I also need to screw the board to the wall as well. The bath will be in the corner against 2 walls. Should the Wedi board go from floor to ceiling or above the bath? This will make a difference to if only the tiles or tile & board overhangs on the edge of the...

Hi all, I have stripped tiles and plasterboard off my bathroom and was hoping to use a Wedi(I think) board around the bath tub. The longer wall by the bath has grey breeze block with the previous plasterboard attached with dot and dab. I am not sure what the difference between breeze block and...

I was thinking more like 6 days. A friend had a slighly bigger sized bathroom done many years back. I should have done the bathroom then when same chap quoted me £1800 labour. The timescale would mean us having to get a hotel which ramps up the overall cost a fair bit. Ideally I would like to...

Hi all, I am in need of some advice with my diy bathroom project. I would have happily given the work to someone else to do but labour quotes are comming in at about £4.5k minimum with 2 weeks completion time. I may not agree with the price but the period of work is just too long and I can only...

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks again guys for your input. All this has given me more clarify which makes the bathroom install easier. No electric shower, just a thermostatic mixer shower. Thanks

it’s the green cylinder and possibly 117ltr based on the height

With all you have said so far, I am abandoning the electric shower idea. Thanks fr the eye opener. We currently have a bath mixer shower which is fine. We could just keep it like this which will simplify my bathroom install but was thinking it would be nice for the shower to have a bit of a...

Thanks very much, I'll look out for NICEIC

I would like to hear your thoughts on this. We have a non Combi boiler, hot water cylinder in airing cupboard and cold water tank in loft. I was hoping that the electric shower will be a good option to stop having to yell at the kids to be quick in the shower so the last person still gets some...
