    Central Heating performing erratically *Warning Long Post*

    Thanks Agile, thanks. Can I ask one more thing of you? I inserted a screwdriver gently into the pump when it was on, at the centre screw hole and I felt a ratcheting - as if the tip of the screwdriver was grating against spinning cog teeth. Does this mean the pump is definitely working and...

    Yes Tony you are correct. Windows Me is not supported in the latest revisions of Process explorer. Sorry 2Cautious. :oops: However a similar program is available as a 30 days free trial on ZDNET. You have to register an email though. I am registered and It's called 'Security Task Manager'...

    Broadband slower when it should be faster. New router!

    Boxcleva I was only offering some advice. The OP stated that it 'seemed' okay if they were closer to the router but the buffering problem remained even in that situation. The exact same scenario occured with my brothers BT hub (router) - he used a video from Youtube as the benchmark each time he...

    Central Heating performing erratically *Warning Long Post*

    I tried to anticpate what questions would be asked when I provided the details of the problem - ergo the long post. I thought this might be better than batting back/forward of questions and answers. Thanks anyway :oops:

    Central Heating performing erratically *Warning Long Post*

    Thanks petit-pablo. Srry about your eyesight though - bet you look like this now :shock: I will have a ring round to see the cost of getting a new pump fitted. How much do you think that job would cost if i supplied the new pump (an exact copy of the old one)?

    Silk emulsion over silk emulsion?

    I'm not a professional but there used to be a lot of vinyl silk on the walls in my home. From what I remember two coats of new silk usually did the job.

    Grades of lining paper

    Used BnQ 1000 in a kitchen of a house that had walls that really would have needed to be skimmed but the old dear was broke. I lined horizontally then vertically. Then I put up her paper which mercifully was thick polystyrened paper. The job looked well. I hope she doesn't start playing pokies...

    I half tiled my bathroom and T and G'd the bottom half which I painted white satin gloss. It looked great for a while. It wasn't long before the white gloss turned yellowish though. The ceiling was also T and G'd but I had painted it with a few coats of white vinyl matt. The matt is still...

    Neglected Brushes

    I worked in a govt training scheme painting OAPs houses. The guy who doled out the equipment each day (quartermaster ??) - swore by Nitromors. Fill a jam jar with the stuff to just below where the bristles would be if the brush was inverted in the jar, no higher. Then leave until soft - repeat...

    Broadband slower when it should be faster. New router!

    My brother had the same problem with his BT hub. Tried everything changing channel, removing extensions, swapping micro-filters. Even the hub was changed and the same problems arose with the new one. A BT engineer fitted an adapter which takes the place of the usual faceplate. It has two...
