I couldn't find one in a search but I noticed that a Triton T550i has a control on the top and it looks like a speed control. I was surprised; but not as surprised as I was when I found the lowest cost available was at Argos. The install manual shows it as a speed control. I've ordered it...

I need to replace my shower pump but the ones I see are fixed speed (I think). I have the speed set to "just enough" for a good shower (as opposed to "empty the hot water tank now"). I can't find a variable speed pump. Can I adjust the max flow with a valve before or after the pump? Which...

I'll ask my local glazer for 2m plus the corner bits; I'm only curious about how to brake down, clean and re-assemble a panel.

I tried that, I find the manufacturers but nowhere that will sell say 3m. Nothing on ebay. Maybe its only available in bulk, makes sense I guess.

Is there anywhere online (in the UK) that sells the internal spacer bar that goes inside double glazed units? I've had a look around and can't find it, maybe its not called spacer bar?

I've replaced missing putty with new putty, you have to give it a while before you paint it. After its painted I can't tell where I did it. I'm so slow it doesn't matter if I have to wait weeks before painting it :) (I just leave it and do it when its firm enough) There are modern glazing...

I've got 2 conservatory windows, each 1800mm x 2200mm single sheet of 3/8 glass not toughened or laminated. each 40 years old ish. One has cracked (diagonally about 1/3 in 1/3 up) over the last year so I want to replace it. The sill is 300mm above floor. What should I replace it with? (Same...

You may have air trapped in the pump. With the power to the pump swicthed off > Turn shower on / off quickly several times with the temperature set a hot and then repeat with the temperature set at cold. > Run the shower with the pump switched off for 2 - 3 minutes If there is air in the...

Thanks for the advice. Some of the noggins rotted and were replaced before I bought the house (long ago). Extra noggins have been added as well. I'm pretty sure this was done without removing the end rafter so as a result the end rafter may have dropped. The rafter has rotted where it...

I'm after some construction advice - I've made several repairs over the years to the roof overhang but it's too rotten now so I'm going to replace at least the lower 5m. If I look up the line of the roof, see inset in the picture, I can see that the rake slopes down - I've labelled this as...

You've probably worked out by now that if you lay the drain hose on the floor and into a bucket you can drain the machine, you will need to get all of the water out as the water level interlocks the front door. This may be why the door light is on. Did you blow the fuse in the plug and the...

B&Q (probably any DIY shop) sell a PIR sensor with no light fitting, pretty sure the instructions show how to include an internal override switch. Like http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TLPIR180B.html or http://www.screwfix.com/p/140-standalone-pir/11291 (see the instruction manual on...

You could use something like this http://www.simplehelp.net/2006/09/27/how-to-use-your-pc-and-webcam-as-a-motion-detecting-and-recording-security-camera/. I haven't used this one but used something like it ages ago and can't remember what is was called. I'll post it if I can remember. The...

Hi steq184 You say This is where you have gone wrong. The L1 and Com terminals are the switch terminals. When the switch is on they are connected together, when off they are disconnected. When you put the switch on you short the live and neutral and blow the MCB. If I was going to...
