Thanks Stivino, yes I have tools. I will have a look after lunch and get back to you.... Olly.

Hey folks, noticed a little bit of drag in my Escort a few weeks ago but it came and went a couple of times so didn't do anything about it.. Last couple of days the problem has got quite bad with the front wheel getting pretty warm, left still cool. No pull to either side with when driving...

It has it's uses but it's rarity and peoples lust for the stuff is enough to drive the price IMO, like self sustaining... In fact, look on a note the Bank of England promises to pay the bearer.... now I think that basically suggests that the paper you hold has historically been tied to...

This also happened to my Kidde optical / ionisation detector went off about 4 times over a four hour period. Tried vaccing (no fun at 3am) in the end it stopped and works normally ever since. I would vote for a critter or dust too!

Quite impressive that well done for persistence :D

hehe like the title :wink: I think you are perhaps being a little overcomplicated tbh. I do admire someone who takes time over the planning of the job, and I agree it is very important to check how ALL cuts work out so solutions or compromises can be made but I think a combination of...

Don't do it :twisted: Sorry I hate this scheme it is going to remove people who can't afford shiny new cars (sorry, I meant people who don't want to get shackled with yet more miracle economic debt) from the road, isn't particularly environmentally friendly (like the government cares :lol...

Samhain is very much a Celtic tradition, to celebrate the end of Harvest and a time where the the division between the living and dead is at it's thinnest. Carving vegetables (traditionally turnips) to ward off evil spirits from peoples homes is also a tradition from Celtic times something to do...

I used to do a bit of tiling and would start on the row below the border generally. Then work down / up from there. Never start from skirting / floor bath edge etc. IMO it usually result in a **** job. Make sure you cut to floor ceiling too. Also your border should go above the sink really but...

Always wanted to know this, are you allowed to solder the wires?

Both apparently myths and untrue... Agree with the comments above if it weren't for spiders, like bees, we would all be up **** creek!

You would rather buy a new washer than a £10 multimeter :?

I have had an online account with them for years now and I seem to remember at one point they removed joe public from that privilege too. Must have had a change of heart! I got an option to pick up at counter on payment but a statement said I required some form of proof that I was a trading...

I wouldn't mind if RS supplied to the trade only but it seems they are happy for our custom but insist on delivering a part that would fit on my little finger nail. I wouldn't mind but I can't get these parts anywhere else so I have no choice. They have a bit of a monopoly and they know it! I...

Why are RS so uptight about only suplying the trade at their counters in the UK? I have worked with the trade in the past in both electronics and electrical / other and as far as I remember RS is the only company I dealt with that won't serve the public over the counter. Instead I have to pay...

Thanks I am aware of those kits they are basically Jewlers rouge and I am sure would leave a magnified effect in my tank but I am basically seeing what options come up really. I would love to know what lies behind these more advanced 'secret' techniques - I actually suspect acid then a light...

Hi I have recently aquired a nice fish tank but unfortunately after filling with water I have discovered a rather annoying scratch in the glass! To make matters worse you can just about feel it with your finger nail too so it isn't a light surface scratch but I would say just beyond the...

I will when it comes to maintaining the tank as this will require a short length of pipe and not the whole lot of water I don't fancy getting the water started in 5+ meters of hose.. I only filled the tank to look for scratches now need to empty so I can get to work with some Jewlers rouge...

considering you know absolutely nothing of the situation you might want to reserve judgment. For a start there are no fish in the tank yet. If you are referring to potentially dangerous flow rate then yes that is something I will consider on first testing the unit. Now if you are referring to...

Thanks for the help folks I will go to my local shed on next opportunity...
