Hi all, my Beko dishwasher isn't draining properly during the cycle but it drains when I turn it on. I think thats getting rid of water from the last drying cycle but once it actually starts washing it oveflows. If I end the cycle and restart hen it drains away. I have checked the drain hose and...

Thanks for the replies, I will test the element in the morning

Thanks for your reply. The wires are at the bottom of the drum so yes it could the heating element. There are two other smaller wires coming from it as well. What should I be looking for then? No continuity at all? What would a normal resistance be?

Hi all, our washing machine was making an odd noise which was assumed to be a coin or screw or something but then there was a burning smell and the circuit breaker tripped. I've taken the rear panel off and it looks like the live, neutral and earth wires have burnt out. If there was a bad...

Thanks for the replies. I bought the strong 300 router that I posted a link to. I changed the name and password as advised and everything works as it should.. Except the Ethernet ports seem to turn off if they haven't been used. I need to unplug the Ethernet cable and plug it back in to...

but my wifi router is two thick stone walls away and we get no wifi in the living room. There is a wired connection to the living room but only one rj45 socket so just now its either TV or WAP. I want both.

What about one of these? https://www.strong.tv/en/products/broad-router/router300

Hi there. Can anyone recommend a simple device that would work as a WiFi access point but also has a "through" function for ethernet? Basically I have an rj45 socket behind the smart TV and I'd like to add a wap but keep the TV's wired connection. Hope that makes sense

Makes sense, thank you.

Sorry, been away for the week. I've had the van 18 months and I haven't changed anything:( I've just ordered oil, air and fuel filters. Will fit them, do an oil change and see if anything changes. Thanks

Thanks for your reply. It happened again today, driving about 55mph in 5th. Dropped down the gears and ended up in 2nd at about 40mph which cleared it. Hi revs cos of the vehicule speed, I wasn't pressing the accelerator. Definitely no engine warning light.

Hi, I've got a 2007 Peugeot Boxer. Occasionally, and usually in 3rd gear, the motor won't rev up and the van won't accelerate with the accelerator fully down. If I put the clutch in then the motor will rev up. If I drop in to 2nd then it seems to rev up ok then I can usually go back in to 3rd...

What happens if you flush a macerator during a power cut. I fitted one for someone who told me that the macerator was leaking but it turns out he flushed during a power cut. Obviously it wouldn't do what its meant to do but would it overflow somehow? I'd have thought the bowl would just...

I will do but don't hold your breath. It takes me ages to get round to these things.

Thanks for your reply. I have a few old pans to practise on before I start on the good ones. Cleaning: Mechanical and acid. Flux: I'll try tallow first I think. Heat: Melt tin in melting pot, heat pan on seperate gas hob in workshop, blowtorch at the ready. I've never heard of a bronze...

I want to reline some copper saucepans. I have been assured the tin I'm going to buy is pure but as tin and pewter are both called etain in french I want to be slightly forearmed.

Anyone know any little tricks to tell the purity of tin?

Thanks, we'll need to decide which ones are worth spending time on then. Ten of them broke and theres a couple that are quite old and nice. Worth a try at least.

I have a client who's house froze up during the cold spell here and her radiators have popped. As some of them were quite old and nice we're wondering if its possible to take them apart to remove the broken segments and then reassemble. Does anyone have any views on this or experience of...

That sounds fun but not quite what I'm aiming for. Any tips?
