Hope it's okay to post here. I just pulled up at a layby and the car stalled. It started rolling forward so I put the brakes on and they just went loose. There is liquid pouring out on the left side of the car by the wheel. The breaks still work if I push really really hard but it's obv not...

Hi there. I have a glass desk and I've had it for YONKS! It's literally on its last legs and while my wife would rather I get a new one..I keep fixing it lol The problem is the keyboard tray has come away from the metal 'nut'. That attaches it to the runner. This causes the tray to constantly...

Hey We've just moved to a new house and the garden is mostly soil. Sadly it seems like the owners before us had the whole thing covered in garden stones but removed them. Sadly, the tiny stones have worked it's way into the soil especially a few inches down and it's making dogging holes with our...

I've had a look around on the forum and found a few similar questions but nothing exactly the same. I want to move a plug from one wall to the next (10m -ish). I called in an electrician who looked at it and quoted me at £260 then lowered it to £250. While we stood there he got a bit cocky and...

Make: Ford Model Ka Mk 2 Year 2011 Mileage 81k Hello there. Can anybody help/advise me what tools/grease I will need to change two front brake pads please? I am pretty sufficient at DIY and have done small things to the car over the years (changed tyres, changed batteries etc) but I don't have...

Sorry. A bit of an odd one. Last night I was replacing plug sockets upstairs of a relatives house. On the main board I switched off the upstairs sockets (as labeled on the board), went upstairs and checked to make sure there was no electric to the plugs. I didn't lock off the board as it was...

Hi guys. I have looked on the forum but couldn't see anybody saying about this. I'm trying to change a light fitting (which I've done twice before over the years) but sadly this one's throwing up a new problem. The wires from the light fitting are not colour coded (see photo) and don't show any...

I wish to remove this concrete gate post that sits at the end of our driveway. As you can see from the photos it's surrounded by concrete and tarmac (footpath outside of the gate) The post is approx 8cm square. The concrete under it looks approx 7cm deep. How would you tackle this...

We moved into a our new house in February and love itm while we've been focusing on the inside our attention is slowly turning to the outside as the weather changes Sadly, as you can see, the grass is full of weeds and I don't really know where to start. After a few days of research I've come...

Hi there. We recently moved into a house which needs a bit of working doing to it. While my wife and I have been able to do most of it ourselves (changing taps, fitting a new bath, refitting double plugs, changing lights etc) there's a few things we're not 100% sure on when it comes to electrics...

Hey. Odd question one that I assume is rather straight forward but I just wanted to run it past a few people here. I am no sparky but I've extended lamp plugs etc many times, changed plugs etc. . I currently have a 2m gangway plug (pictured) and wish to extend it to 9m. I have the the correct...

Just pretty much the title. It's in a small bedroom and there isn't enough space in the room for a bed,a desk and a wardrobe. My plan was to put a bar across the cupboard and hang clothes up. Due to the depth of the cupboard they would not be touching the boiler, pipes etc. The rail could...
