Hi everyone I have a ford focus estate and noticed today a few drips coming from the plastic housing of the front interior light. On loosening the plastic around the light and a tablespoon of water came out! I'm thinking that in all this weather, somehow water has got under the car roof...

Thanks to advice on this forum, I'm in the process. My question is, once the first rad has been balanced and I move on, should the temp difference stay the same on it (ie between flow and return) or might it vary as I adjust the rest of the rads? Also how long should I wait to ensure that the...

Hi everyone Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've had some probs with rads being cold at the bottom and wanted to check the TRV pin is not stuck. They are Bulldog ones - I can depress the pin and it pops out, but it's quite short and stumpy compared with others I've seen and I just...

HI everyone I need to fit a lid to an existing section of 6" galv trunking. The problem is that the turnbuckles that come with the new lid are too small and won't 'catch' over the end of the trunking lip (it old, so quite thick). What I need is the old style turn buckle that runs the width...

Hi all Just wondered if there is a level at which induced voltage becomes real voltage? Is it 230V? Job today where I was getting 60V on a lighting circuit when a light on another circuit was switched on. And 11V when off. The cables run out of the fuse board together for some distance as...

Hi everyone A customer needs a new lamp - Its a T5 6 watt for under cabinet fitting. BUT it's not the standard length I've tried searching on line, but didn't get very far. I think from memory that MFI used to supply odd sized ones, but they're bust now... The lamp length end of pins to...
