Just found out the name for the container is a cartridge. Presumably a cartridge gun is needed, although I read online that there is a finger tip control cartridge. I suppose this is not what I have got.....

It looked easy to use but when I got it home and read the 'instructions', there was no explanation of how to open it. I cut the plastic top off with a knife to get to the glue (not easy), then screwed on the long black nozzle, but it wouldn't come out. The cylinder doesn't seem to be squeezable...

thanks for that. so much to think about.

Will look it up. Thanks.

Oooh! How do I describe the speed I'm looking for; borrowed a 1.8 Rover 75 diesel the other day and found that to be both speedy enough and economical. In fact, I complained to my friend that the fuel gauge wasn't working... but was politely informed that it could do up to 500 miles on half a...

Hi all! I run a petrol Rover 75 2.5 automatic - great car for speed on straight runs and marvellously comfortable (like a limousine), great for taking passengers in style - but not economical, not suitable for taking rubbish to the tip etc., doesn't do bendy country lanes easily and no street...

I have asked my supplier for a new key and received it today. Thanks for the advice.

I am dealing with all sorts of sales people at present and getting really confused. Is it true that Howdens Joinery make for B&Q and that Mobens units are much better quality?? I have found a fitter and he is available next week (although to be truthful I have not yet seen any of his work nor...

Thanks. I even know the correct word for it now!?!

Help! EDF are trying to up my monthly DD payments too much so I really must read the meter and prove them wrong. However I have lost that pesky little key. Have been able to open the gas meter box with pliers but not the electricity one. Any ideas? and where do you get replacement keys from...

Thanks. So many ideas: and yes, I would have liked to have kept the pond or even changed its usage but I can't see an option that I would be able to maintain -and single son is not interested...unless it attracted nubile maidens :roll: , then he'd be over like a shot!!! Selling the filtration...

Gosh! I am learning a lot here, aren't I? That rule of thumb for depth of hole v distance to house is useful as is all the advice here. I thank you all very much. I did try a fish club first. The one my husband was in is too far away - and we hadn't been in touch for a few years, so I visited...

p.s. I have noted the sump details and will buy/hire one as soon as I learn whether the current weight of the water in the pond is necessary to shore up the ground between the pond and the footings of the house. Sue

Thank you for your prompt reply. You are right that it is really, really sad to break up what was once a smashing pond with koi carp and there is also a 'stream' through the rockery falling into the pond. the whole pond is also covered with a gazebo (?): wooden trellissing covered with clematis...

Hi all! I have a large, deep fish pond in my garden: c 14ft x 6ft oval and 6ft deep. It is brick built above ground and concrete (I seem to remember) beneath with a rubber (?) liner. At the deepest point is a gravity fed drainage outlet - and outlets higher up in the walls. there are...

Thank you both. yes I will ask BG in the morning now I know that the thermostat is covered. and yes, I know I should be able to fix the pressure in the boiler. I have been shown once but have forgotten - and its not covered in my 'DIY for dunces' book!?! ...something to do with turning a key...

Hi! My central heating thermostat situated on the wall in the living room has stopped working. I can swing the dial around from 0 to 30 and it usually does not make a clicking noise - even though it is obviously too hot and should be switching off. This means that the only way I can control the...
