Try taking each lock point off the door frame one at a time and see how well the door closes into the frame with the lock points removed. From the photo, the sliding pegs look fixed so I'd guess any adjustment is on the door frame. If you have a locking spike at the bottom too, compare how far...

I invested in a Topdon ArtiDiag800BT. Sadly, the scanner does not seem compatible with my 2003 VW or my sister's 2004 VW both which are Bora TDIs. Plugged into the OBD port, the dongle is being activated yet it is when plugged into a 2019 Ford. Topdon have sent out a replacement scanner and...

I replaced all the glazing units in my 2003 built house when I moved in two years ago. Five had failed do I decided to change all. I suggest sourcing any glazing units from a glazing manufacturer rather than doors, windows and conservatories installers. As far as I'm aware, the modern glazing...

Had a look at my sister's house rear door earlier because one of the locking point claws doesn't work. When I removed the lock mechanism, the claw's gearbox is actually missing so the connecting link that operates the bottom locking peg is also disabled. What's the appropriate means to...

I've spoken to TT and they've confirmed my Fibre internet service is FTTC and they also advised that they're currently rolling out their FTTP service which will be available in my area soon if I'm interested. Disappointing that the VM rep was trying to convince me that TT's Fibre is only to the...

I had a Virgin Media rep at my door earlier today. He was adamant the Talktalk Fibre internet I have is fibre only to the local exchange then copper cable the rest of the way to the house. I believed being FTTC, TT's fibre service was as far as the street cabinets and from there, copper on to...

Job done. I've now got got the door square in the frame. Its not going to help with thermal insulation be its an external door on a conservatory with a polycarbonate roof although I may look to get the roof changed to an insulated tiled roof. Thanks for posting the diagram, much appreciated.

I've got the HZ adjustment sorted, having moved the door across to the lock side a few mm so the latch is catching and the gap between the frame and seal is solved. Does anyone how to adjust this type of hinge for height and also bring the door closer to the frame on the hinge side?

Would just like to know what the preferred coax cable for the likes of signal for Sky+ HD reception from a satellite TV dish please. Any opinions?

Thanks All!

What are the recommended aerials types to receive Freeview TV? I'm presuming HD channels are available on Freeview.

Does anyone know if the Sky DRX series of HD boxes that have wifi allow the TV signal to be received via fibre from any wifi router?

Since starting this post, I took a punt on a Sky+ DRX890C box listed on ebay. Installed it today and I'm very pleased with it.

On the matter of tuning in a receiver to satellite dish, you can tune the signal using the set up menu on the TV. I got my signal strength and signal quality to about 70%. Does using a signal meter provide improved accuracy? Perhaps not always convenient to see a TV screen when tuning in?

I've taken a punt on the TOPDON ArtiDiag800BT (not an affiliate link by the way) I contacted Topdon to see if the ebay seller in the link is approved by them. Their reply, "Yes, this is one of our authorized online sellers." I get FOC lifetime updates and with the discount offer that allegedly...
