It should be on the Car pass that came with the car, if not then you need to stump up £20 odd quid for a replacement from the stealers Never seen a Ford Vectra before

When turned about halfway, it retracts about 2mm and stays there. If I turn it beyond that, it clicks and as though it slips and comes back out again. Nothing happens when using the outer handle. The key is needed on both sides, when turned anticlockwise and held back, the door just swings...

I have a problem with my front uPVC door, the handle cannot be used to open the door as the latch in the door will not retract. The handle can be moved down however nothing actually happens. The only way I can open the door is to use the key, if I turn it as if to open the door and hold it...

I apologise on your behalf for assuming that then. How foolish it was of me to seek advice on electrics from a forum I thought was frequented by people with knowledge on the subject. Forgive me for not sharing your omniscience. If I put up a link to fuse which happened to have 3A printed on...

Thanks for the response, certainly gives me something to think about. I will get someone in to have a look. Ban-all-sheds, nowhere in my post did I imply I would be doing anything myself. I simply asked for advice which I have now received. No need for the sarcasm really, was there.

I have bought an air compressor for my garage, which states it requires a minimum supply of 40A (it is not 3 phase). At the other end of the garage, about 6m away, through the door and in the hallway, is the consumer unit, an old style one with BS3036 fuses. I don't want to start running...

Thanks, is this an ok price for the element? It says it comes with the NTC which I presume will clear some of the errors: http://partmaster.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=229299&query=zwf1650w I remember reading somewhere someone saying to blow into the pressure switch to clear it, but what...

Hi I have a zanussi zwf1650 washing machine and so far it has thrown up e34, e74 and e91. The water never heats up and sometimes when the water is draining there are two zeros displayed on the screen. Could anyone please provide some advice on what to do to fix this, and if I need any...

Yep, when the fuse blows there is no power to any part of the extension at all. I was told that all the work had been done by a 'qualified' electrician who also did work in other areas of the house so I'm sure this won't be the last of it :roll: Thanks for confirming my worst fears, looks...

Hi all, My house is one that had a double storey extension built about 10 years ago, and a CU was installed to power that side of the house, which consists of a bedroom, bathroom and the kitchen. The rest of the house is using an older style fuse box that has the rewireable BS3036 fuses. (2 x...

Hi I want to build a lean to roof at the side of my house, I have about 3m between my house and the party wall between me and my neighbour. I don't know who owns the wall, but generally is there a rule about keeping a set distance away from the neighbour, i.e. does it have to be at least a...

Hi the tails fitted to the pipe have split, I cut the water supply at the isolation valve and took the tap off, but looking at the picture below how do you disconnect the pipes going into the tap? There doesn't seem to be any space at all! Does it come apart further or do I need some sort of...

Hi I need to remove a rad tail to change the valve, what size allen key do I need? I've narrowed it down to these: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand+Tools/Plumbers+Tools/Rad+Valve+Spanner+127mm+hex/d10/sd210/p90498...

Been a bit busy lately but this is getting done this weekend, I appreciate the advice so far and just have some last thoughts before I start! - if I've got brick walls all the way round, what's the best way to make sure it's level? Being liquid-ish will it find its own level? - When it...

Thanks for all the replies, if I chose to screed it by having 50mm screed on top of 50mm concrete would either need to be reinforced or are the thicknesses ok? I'm determined to get done as much of this as I can, I've got some plastering experience and think I would have a better time...

I need to finish the foundations for my dwarf-walled Victorian conservatory (measures approx 2.5m x 2.5m) by laying 100mm of concrete and would like some advice as I want as smooth a finish as I can get. I have already put down 150mm hardcore, 30mm sand blinding, a layer of visqueen, insulation...

Hi thanks for that, where would I find the pnc number? I've seen the two capacitors so will do as you say and see what happens, cheers

Hi I have a Zanussi TCE7127W condenser dryer which has a drum that won't spin when a programme is started. When I try and start it, there's a small pump in the bottom left corner that makes a noise like normal but then nothing. I've had a look under the panel where the motor is, and nothing...

If the knobs on a kitchen mixer tap are stiff to turn, what's the best way of loosening them up a bit? The tap in question operates in a similar way to this one: Clicky
