So my Hoover WM only 4 months old is making grinding noise when spinning. Engineer comes out and finds this. Says it must of been washed into washing. Do not recognise it at all.

So I've been removing some wallpaper and came across this junction between external wall and stud wall. The gap was bridged with some timber. I've removed a load of loose rubble . What is best to fill the gap?

Thanks for both the helpful and not so helpful advice. The reason I ask about the cable is that I've read a few posts where using 4 or 5 core can be beneficial in case of future upgrades and flexibility. This is a diy forum too so it would be great to get some actual help and advice.

I'm sure I have the skills to remove the casing an access the electrics as I've done it before to wire it up for power. I'm planning on fitting this model: http://www.screwfix.com/p/drayton-rts8-room-thermostat/46637#product_additional_details_container It say it's 2 or 3 wire installation...

... Whats the best way to got about this?

Ok, so after much thought I've decided to get a joiner in to have a look about doing the floor. But from what I can tell fitting insulation inbetween the rafters is a job I can do without causing any major disruption. My question is do i need to leave an air gap or not? The roof has sarking...

Hi. I'm looking to remove a t-piece that is used to feed water to a fridge freezer. Here is the pipe work. Going left is he the outside tap. Going down is the fridge freezer. Left is into main circuit. So I need to disconnect the fridge freezer part but connect the outside tap still. Thanks

.... Thanks for the response. The main idea is to put a floor down properly as old wardrobe i don't think is great plus would like to add extra insulation. Any chance you can expand on what won't work and what future knock on effect it may cause. I will see about getting a joiner to see...

Is this one ok? http://www.screwfix.com/p/shallow-bath-trap-40mm Or is it better to spend a little more on this http://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-bath-trap-40mm-white/84362

Thanks will get one ordered.

I finally figured out how to release the fittings. There is a PhilIps shaped gap located inside the middle rectangle hole. I couldn't see it at first as the mechanism was hidden. I used the screws which allow for height adjustment and there it was. A quick turn with a screwdriver and it...

I got the socket fixed and moved up. I used the 30a block and extended the wire. I fitted a dry wall back box so I could flush fit the socket. I would have been great to replace the whole wire from the nearest socket but that a job for another day. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Well it's finally fixed. I used the connector along with a couple of jubilee clips then put some duct tape around the join for good measure and now all is well. Thanks for all the help.

Hi. So since I've moved into my new property my bathroom had a few leak issues. Just when I thought I'd fixed it all I'm still getting a leak from the bath tub waste. The leak is coming from just under the rim of the white connector which fits to the waste on the bath tub. I put some ptfe...

I've pushed it as far back as possible and built a frame to secure it and sealed it up the best I can.
