Don't be daft it runs beautifully it is just outer surface rust. Anyway, it will only ever be run for short periods once every blue moon.

Hi I have a neat little pump that I want to use to empty my fish tank. Basically the pump has the inlet / outlet that I would like to attach some normal hose pipe. ok there are a couple of brass fittings in their already basically looking at the picture below the left has a 1" male thread to...

You know I feel a bit silly now - wood for tree's and all that :oops: You are dead right though. Thanks for your help must admit I think it was the funny brass fitting that threw me off (and the fact that I ain't no plumber :lol: ). Thanks!

not right now but I have drawn a diagram if that helps.... without examining the thing (and thinking back) it looks like the big brass junction is some sort of quick release fitting...? .

My neighbor has two stop taps. One is clearly the traditional stop tap and a second tap, part of what looks like a loop in series with the meter (along with a drain cock). This is attached to the mains pipe just above stop tap via what looks like a fat cylindrical junction. Can someone explain...

Are these thermistors the small electronic bead type jobbies or were they actually thermocouples? 1. Why would two fail simultaneously, especially without a fault elsewhere and did he investigate this? i.e. A v. high voltage could have surged due to pcb failure or a part of the boiler getting...

thanks for that I will have a go this weekend and let you know how it goes!

Thanks Ricky how would I warm up the oil?

ok thanks for the help folks John sorry about photo but I don't think it would have been worth linking now anyway... I think I will take the mower to the place that my grandfather bought it from, after all, they serviced his machines for many years and they are a small company as mentioned...

Thanks for your help John... does this pic help? just coupole more questions if you don't mind? did you mean to continue this sentence? i.e. "I don't know if that could be...."??? Also, if I established whether the engine was two stroke / single or whatever then should I attempt to...

Hi John, got it out the shed today and found a different lawn mower than the one I use to use! It is made by Qualcast Garden Products It then says 'Qualcast Suffolk Punch' surely not th emodel number? Here are the pics... you can tell it hasn't been used in a while! It has a...

I honestly don't know John... I use to fill up with what seemed like ordinary petrol... Unfortunately my grandfather is no longer here to tell me! Is there any way I can tell by looking at the mower?

Hi Folks, I need some advice basically I have an old petrol mower that hasn't been used for about two years, and I really need it to cut my grandparents lawn... Now I use to use the mower myself, so there are no operating probs there, but a couple of things I am not too sure about... 1. Can I...

I just figured that :? Oh well I might leave it for another day!

is it this simple? Rl1 switches on whenever it gets a signal from the valves and feeds pump from same supply. when off RL sw1 in normally closed position allows pump feed to come directly from timer htg output via a second relay if required? Is that what was wanted?

Chris couple of q's please! Can the wall timer send HW + CH control signal out at the same time - poss not important in this case but may be helpfull... More importantly, in the diagram you have given me, if I have things correct the pump turns on when either port is energised. I would...

I like a challange, now feed me with a diagram of your 2 2 port valve, standard S plan system and I'll have a go :D

You should be able to sort this out one-handed with a blindfold on :P

I stuck a row of 4 halogens in place of a 5 foot strip light and apart from the lack of light they obviously don't last as long and cost more to replace!!! I left them in place and put the strip light along the top of the cupboard units - the light reflects off the ceiling see. While the spots...

If they are small mossaics I find a seperate scorer and hand held tile breaker can be indespensible for breaking the little bu7ggers!
