I think I'll need a mains powered tool. There must be several that'll slice through?

We have a Laurel hedge and need to keep it in check. I don't want to use a chainsaw but something electric that will slice quickly through the branches. I'm fed up of using sacateurs hedge clippers. I've included some pictures (taken from the house) All helpful comments will be appreciated.

Hello There's a leak from the mixer tap. It seems to be coming from the right side tap where it joins the main vertical. How do I fix this please? Thank you

The car forum will suffice as there isn't one for motorbikes but someone might be able to help. I have a motorbike that I want to add some paint protection film to. This will be on the tank to cover areas where my clothing will catch. The idea is to protect the paint and stop scratches, so it...

Yes, hairline crack in cistern. Replacement underway

Checked I'm thinking there's a hairline crack in it now. I reckon the plumber did it as its not been right after replacing the flusher, then coming back to fix a leak in the same place, and he's now retired

Thanks everyone

Tried to tighten the plastic nut. Still leaking. I've removed the flusher and I'm going to get some pfe tape The plumber had used a tiny amount of white compound to seal the thing. Obviously the did a shoddy job

Thank you.

Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a go.

I have these grips - see picture. I didn't want to go ahead with trying to tighten the nut as it's plastic and didn't want to break it. I could try though. I don't expect the seal to need replacing as the flusher unit was new.

I have a small leak under my toilet cistern, flusher unit replaced by a plumber within the last 12mths, which looks like it could be the joint between the pipe and the flusher unit. For some reason my wife thought it was a good idea to use sealant to try and stop the leak. This have not helped...

Thank you polesapart. That is very helpful

Hello Just moved into a house and the toilet flush was fine but all of a sudden the long flush has stopped working and no matter how long you push the loo handle, the short flush just works. Attached are some pictures of the cistern internals. Any help to sort this would be really...
