    Remote control for garden flood light

    Hi, Follow this link: http://www.maplin.co.uk/single-channel-wireless-remote-control-kit-46950 It's got a 30m range and is pretty good quality for an electronics kit. They are often a bit sub-standard but I was quite impressed with this. There's a relay inside which'll switch when you...

    Worcester 240 Air-vent req'd?

    Thanks for the response. I had removed the plastic cap last time I emptied the system and had tried the pump screw (water was forthcoming). I tried pressing in the top of the vent but it seems to have no moving part. Eventually I loosened the whole vent and after a couple of turns I heard air...

    Electrical appliance - under stairs ok?

    Usually appliances which require convection currents to cool them (i.e. fridges) have guidelines in the manual about the space you should allow them. So long as the radiator at the back of the freezer isn't smothered by anything (scarves shoved down the back etc) and there's some ventilation to...

    Careless screwing

    Hiya. The same thing happened to a mate of mine while we were doing a house up for rent. We'd taken out all the old carpets and were suring up the creaky floorboards just by firing screws in. I was a little more patient than him, checking for pipes etc. He went straight through the middle of a...
