I need to remove the chuck on my drill so it can be fitted to a drill stand. How do i do so?

Just acquired an old 8mm cine projector. It didn't come with a power cable. Does anyone know what to search for to get a replacement?

Just got an honor 90 lite phone. Android obviously. I've managed to end up with the home screen (the one you go to when you press the home button) set to a blank page. I could drag all my icons to it but it's rather just be able to set my home screen to one of my existing icon-filled screens...

I'd like to smarten up the window boards in my conservatory. The longer sides have joins in them (not sure why!) and the plastic trims have gone yellow. WHat's the best way of painting them white again? A quick rub down, a coat of BIN, then the satinwood water based top coat Im using for the rest?

I have an aged relative who is in their own. they and we have Android phones. I can track their phone no problem, so if they go off our I can see where they are. however it would be useful to know if they are using their phone, which he tends to look at when he gets up in the morning... that way...

Trying to rennovate our 30 year old conservatory. Its not bad overall but the gutter brackets have all but failed. They press-fit onto a flange on the side of the connie....does anyone know what this is called and whether I can still buy them? sorry its not a great pic

sorry for the thicko question....I don't do electrics if I can help it. is it an rcbo? in other words does my campervan have rcd protection?

Garden vac suddenly stopped working. Gray trigger does nothing. Checked fuse etc, then opened it up. I cant for the life of me see how the trigger is supposed to push the actual motor's push-button - it doesn't even line up with the button. There must be a part missing but I can't see what it...

Right under where my rad is required there sits one of the floor joists. Therefore I cant easily drop the pipes from the valves into the floor space. Whats the best way of doing this? Notch the joist so I can get an elbow in?

I have water leaking out of the top of the basin tap. I've opened it up to see if there's anything serviceable, but the o rings LOOK ok. Anyway, it'd be easier to replace the cartridge, only I dont know which one it would be. Anyone know the make of this tap?

My new cistern outlet for the flush pipe measures 48 mm as far as I can measure (the diameter of the rubber cone washer) What pipe should I be getting to make a flush pipe to my WC (which seems to require 40mm)? The cistern, from Victoria Plum, didn't come with a flush pipe. I've tried...

Bit of a DIY (ordering) balls-up: we bought a "comfort height" WC pan (ie one that's a little higher than the usual), to go with a cabinet for the concealed cistern, all from Victoria Plum. However, because of the height of the pan the inlet on the pan for the flush pipe is too high for the...

Refurb of bathroom. Tatty broken boards removed (all of them) Electric heating mat in self levelling, all under vinyl click together flooring, to go on top. What's the preferred filling between the joists and the SLC? I have 25mm ply arriving tomorrow but on reflection they will create too...

SWMBO wants the shower room fan to come on by means of a pull switch, but to go off again after a set time (maybe 15 mins) if you forget to do it manually after showering. Then, the next person comes along and wishes to switch on the fan does so as normal (in other words the switch has reverted...

Cheaper than karndean, and easier to lay, but does it last in a bathroom? Also can heating mesh mats be used under it if I use SLC over play?

Sorry if this is a thick question: I presume the end point of the CH flow pipe (the furthest point from the combi) is connected directly to the end of the return pipe? If so is this why I have a small radiator installed where the old hot tank was: to allow the system to still flow correctly...

Hi I would like to adjust the front door so it is a little tighter to the door seal when closed, but just at the top. That is, adjust in the direction of the outside, if that makes sense I have allen screws top and bottom, plus pairs of smaller allen screws on either side. Which if these...

Our connie is sturdy in its own right, but several of the dg units have failed. I am investigating whether I need to replace the whole thing or not. Setting aside the fact that its so old the panes are fitted from the outside (who ever thought THAT was a good idea?!?!?) I have the issue that I...

Despite my best efforts, somehow 2 back boxes in my newly plastered and decorated room are not level, to such an extent that the slight leeway the lugs give is not enough to make things right. I'm not saying the boxes are at like 45 degrees or something,! but a degree or two beyond the wiggle...

I fancy taking off the leaky, windy ply roof and building a timber and slate roof to replace it. I understand BC will want to be involved as there is insulation involved (as I understand it) but as a general point, will a seemingly sturdy connie be able to withstand the weight of such a roof...
