    Discovery Channel

    Not wanting to go off topic, but a good one for this forum and a subject myth busters once did (I have only read about not seen) is whether you will be electrocuted if someone throws a live toaster into a bath. Personally I am not so sure and my theoretical knowledge is not good enough to...

    SO how did this work? Conveyor tried to match speed of planes ground speed? Basically if so ground speed has nothing to do with lift which is all to do with airspeed. If a plane took off by using a powerplant which drove the wheels then this would be a different matter. Personally I...

    MOT/Insurance

    Regardless of whether it is legal or not I don't think the insurance company is obliged to cover you with a potentially dangerous vehicle on the road! Anyone expand on this?

    Adaptor For Christmas Lights

    Just to add if these are led then there may have been a control box? Personally I would plug your adaptor in the leds should be ok at 4.5v but if unregulated you might have problems by connecting the wrong way. Have you got a meter? If you give us a piccy people will be able to get a better...

    Main supply frozen!

    It seems to have been frozen at the stop tap in the garage and some point either side of that. There are gaps in the garage door and the tap is close to this. Also there is hemp(?) wrapped round the pipe with areas of bare pipe exposed. When stop tap was defrosted but still no flow I tried...

    Main supply frozen!

    Hi John thanks for the help. I just thought on to try turning the stop tap off in the garage and releasing the drain cock to see which side was frozen (long length of pipe in garage) - I can not move the stop although haven't tried to force it. Whenever I have previously opened the tap (not too...

    Main supply frozen!

    ok is there anything we can do? I have checked garage no signs of any problems, had a tub of water in there which is still liquid so I doubt the problem lies there. We had a few drips from kitchen tap (about once every 2 seconds) about 10 minutes ago but these have now dried up - I have left...

    baxi solo 3 circuit diagram

    Wow I would seriously love to be trained up by someone like you mate. I know the last 'installer' I worked for (domestic boilers although I wasn't part of that side) would have turned their nose up at such an effort :cry: Great work and hope someone appreciates it!

    Power Shower Mystery

    Well if you have a dodgy connection I would think things will always leak when not in use, as the pressure will be higher. As for the delay is the water pooling inside the case or something before escaping?
