Looking at replacing a fortic cylinder in the near future. It's way past it's prime and hot water pressure is woeful. I will be looking to replace it with direct (dual immersion) unvented cylinder to run on an E7 system. I've considered other options but I think that is the best one. It's a...

There is a room in a multi occupancy office building. It is often used by different groups for meeting, events etc. One such event may require the lights to be turned off, just for a short time. However...for some reason (compliance? energy savings?) all the lights in the room are PIR...

Bit of a curious one. A flat above a commercial property where, every so often, the main fuse blows. Maybe once every year or so. Property has had a full ECIR multiple times in that period, the last one being a few months ago, along with new appliances. Has always checked out fine. This time...

Anyone else notice that on the mere whisper of an issue internationally, the fuel stations have wasted no time in reacting to "market conditions". Even though it takes months for those same prices to come down when there are no issues with the markets. My local has gone from 1.34 to 1.42 on...

Deciding on some new AGM Lead acid batteries for a mobility scooter. I'm going for 2x36Ah (approx) lead acid type. I looked in to the lithium option...but I'm not convinced of the benefit (unless someone can convince me otherwise). I using the sizing options on the tanya website, these are...

I have a flat roof on a attached outhouse. It is about 2.5m x 2.5m. So not a large area. It is a felt roof, in ok condition. Has had some patch repairs in the past. However in some type of rain (I guess certain directional rain) I seem to get a drip from somewhere. I don't want a whole roof...

As per the title, The garage say they made some kind of mix-up and the initial MOT report had failure report. After telling me about the initial fail, I received a stressed call saying they made an error and would have to run the MOT again, which it passed fine. But, annoyingly, the original...

Does anyone else get frustrated that no-one seemingly knows how to do a lane closed merge in turn. I was driving yesterday, and entering a duel carriage section off a roundabout, there were signs informing everyone that in 200 yards the outside lane was closed. Everyone had got into the inside...

Need a new indicator relay for my ford ka mk1. Looking at new/unused oem part someone has spare stock of, but I don't want to buy something that's too old. So I was wondering if the anything on that part looks like a date code. I was wondering if the 70920 is exactly that. Anyone more...

I was at an elderly neighbour and they happened to mention they were getting their gas fireplace re-instated. This is after an EDF person was around and installing some heating controls, they did a check on the fireplace (at the homeowner's request) and said it had to be condemned. Now, it...

Preparing to do a brake bleed on the car. Seems simple enough. This is the official workshop guide: This is exactly what I expected. However, I came across a few guides online that say you have to be careful with the pumping the break method and that a gravity bleed is better: " Doing this...

I have a tear in some epdm rubber foam car insulation. It fact one bit has torn off. They are bits that wedge into parts around the bonnet. I know this material is very difficult to glue as it is a foam type rubber, and very porous. Very difficult to find a good answer online. Most of the...

Need to replace some water damaged storage heaters. They are a write off. But, I just wanted to go through the options. 1) Replace with standard storage heaters. - Pros) Cheapest option on initial outlay. Cons) Traditional concerns about use in property when people are only in during the...

I am just wondering what these are for. They've cropped up in the area over the last year, some streets have more than one. They seem to use standard lamppost poles but without the lantern on the top. Instead they have a very thin piece of something similar to fishing wire which spans the...

I was looking up tyre stats and came across something curious. Two tyres, same manufacturer, same compound, same size, but different ratings and price. One being A A B, the other being B, C, B...

I have this model: Samsung-Rl39wb https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1088853/Samsung-Rl39wb.html?page=1#manual The issues stemmed from leaving the door open, and it building up a large amount of ice. Since then is has not worked properly, even after cleaning the ice. I thought I fixed it at...

In the midst of replacing the heater control valve. But after seeing the state of the coolant, I decided to do a full flush. It's a bit of a pain on the KA. But I eventually got to the lower rad hose, and drained it. It takes around 5l and 2.5 litres came out. I also gave the hopper box a...

I have a car, which was previously a lease. Part of the lease package meant that I never had to concern myself with services or tyres etc. After the end of the lease, I decided to buy it as there was nothing on the market any more that matched what I wanted. So now I have to book all the...

About to do a my first flush of a the coolant (more ford KA tinkering). Finally replacing the heater control valve and thought I should do a full flush at the same time, as well as popping in a new thermostat. I know it requires red OAT type coolant, but I was wondering how specific do I need...
