    Honeywell T3R expertise please

    My T3R wireless thermostat, when set to Auto, has P1, P2, P3 and P4 for time/temp settings. Can this be changed through the settings to add P5 and P6 which I've seen in some YT videos? I've searched online for such a menu setting but no joy.

    Poor toilet flush

    With the bowl clear, I dumped a couple of buckets of water into the bowl and both went through no bother at all so it seems the profile of the bend is the issue, IE, solids and paper being snagged by the sharp u bend.

    Poor toilet flush

    Has been an issue for the nearly 4 years I've been in the house. Its a dual flush and when using the full flush, I keep the button pressed to empty the cistern. If flushing paper and solids, the bowl tends to fill and drain away slowly. The soil pipe top is in the attic and there's an AAV on it.

    Poor toilet flush

    Its actually quite accurate. Mine too has a sharp bend on the upper of the bend.

    Poor toilet flush

    The flush has bother getting rid of even a few sheets of loo roll. Having inspected the bowl's u bend, it has a rather sharp turn like the shown in the image that I got from a listing on SF. Is this the norm? Are there any brands that have a smoother casting in the u bend?

    2023 Corsa oil grade

    01.2023 reg 1.2 petrol (EB2FAD engine) My post is for any owners of this model. What grade of engine oil are you using may I ask? The online oil selectors quote 5w30. The car's manual quotes 0w20, 0w30 and 5w30, presumably depending on the climate the car operates in.

    Correct use of automatic transmissions

    I'm asking out of curiosity. When stationary in traffic, such as lights, should the transmission remain in D or be moved to N? My aunt has a 1994 Merc C220 and if in D, it will creep forward if the brakes aren't applied which in my opinion strains the car. From a YT video, it said an...

    Impact wrench trigger fault

    Fixed! A broken wire (nipped) on a multiplug that plugs to the torque control pcb. Lidl didn't have any in stock for exchange and for what I've used the impact wrench to date, its preformed well.

    Impact wrench trigger fault

    Parkside brand from Lidl. Got it earlier this year and has been fine and dandy. Started using it today and squeezing the trigger, its start/stop in both direction although if I slide the forward/reverse back and forth a bit, I can get a bit of spin. Battery has a full charge. Anyone had this...

    Shower curtain rail joint inserts

    Having considered the application, some reinforced plastic pipe, about 11mm o/d, nipped and pushed in, will be suitable.

    Shower curtain rail joint inserts

    Its an over the bath square shower curtain rail. An old Wilko brand product. It has inserts that reinforce the rail joints but they're all broken so I'm trying to source some fluted bar (if that's what its called) to repair the joints. The bar fits into oval tubes 9mm x 12mm. The photo shows...

    Clock radio sound quality

    The radio sound is a bit 'tinny', its lacks base compare to the other clock radios I have so thinking of getting a better speaker for it. What is a good sound range for a small speaker (2" diameter) to give a decent base sound?

    Fiat Tipo timing belt change.

    If of interest, a YT video for a similar belt change quotes these torques.

    Fiat Tipo timing belt change.

    Regarding the water pump, I presume its replaced it as with VWs when fitting a new timing belt. The Gates belt kit includes the pump whereas the Ina offering is only the belt and tensioner, the pump being a separate offering.

    Fiat Tipo timing belt change.

    Then VW come along with their stretch volts so its torque + 90°. Anyone read the official tightening sequence for the drive shaft nut on a Bora TDI?

    Fiat Tipo timing belt change.

    For the water pump, I'd say 5Nm since that's was official for the water pump when I did my Bora TDI belt change. I inquired on the Forum website so perhaps I'll get feedback. Also need to establish if the shafts need to be locked before the belt comes off. Its a single cam so not too complex...

    Fiat Tipo timing belt change.

    2019 reg 356 1.4, 843A1000 code Since its @ 48k miles and the recommended change is 54k miles, I need to prepare to do the change. Can any Tipo experts quote the torques and special tools needed please? Will likely fit a Gates belt kit. I've had Gates part no KP15503XS-2 quoted to me.

    Loosing reception on a DAB clock radio

    I've discovered that the clock radio has both DAB and FM. I changed to FM and the station I listen to is spot on. From what I've learnt here about DAB broadcasts, I now know why the other DAB radio I have out in the garage keeps loosing the station.
