I finally got around to having a look at this mixer tap today. It leaks when turned on, no leak when closed. When I took the lever off the top of the cartridge, and opened the tap, I could see that the leaking was coming from within the cartridge, between the interface between the plastic top...

Thanks for that, I was thinking that might be the case. I did a bit of reading up on them, and decided to take the relay off, and test it. I've attached a photo. The 3 red circles are where it plugs onto the compressor part, you can see also the 3 holes on the cover (top-left) that was...

If the compressor was running, wouldn't I be able to hear it running, or if it's a quiet running one, be able to feel it vibrating if I put my hand on it? (to be honest, I don't know how loud the compressor should be on this freezer). The only noise I can hear is the quiet "cluck" it makes...

Looking at my folks chest freezer, has a problem, not freezing down. Before I saw it, I was told that it was tripping the switch on the distribution board. When I got to it, I noticed that there looked like a bit of a mouse nest near the black compressor, and after hoovering that out...

No, I haven't tried that, do you mean to put glue on the screwhead and washer or the plastic/nylon? I took apart one of the hinges, you can see the parts on the attachment, it goes screw, washer, top part of hinge, copper (I think) bush, bottom part of hinge. The bush had some...

Thanks, but no, the hinges on mine are completely different, I've uploaded images of the left "sliding" hinge, and the middle "folding" hinge. You can see how they loosen over a few weeks. The middle hinge, when all 4 screws are fully tightened (2 top, 2 bottom) there is still a gap like...

Wasn't sure whether to put this in plumbing or doors forum, so decided on here, hope it's ok.... Have a bi-fold shower door, installed maybe 5 years ago, and the hinges are beginning to go a bit wonky. The side where it's fixed, those 2 hinges seem to be fine. In the middle, where it...

Is it possible to determine from the insides of a TV, by looking at the AV board perhaps, to determine what type of IR control would be needed to control the TV? My example, I got 2 *broken* identical TVs (but no remotes), and managed to make one working set from the parts from both, after...

I thought so too, I thought that the pack would have been an off-the-shelf type part, as they usually are nowadays, and that someone would have had a stock of them for reselling to people with the device. I saw some 3 and 4 battery packs, but not the 2 pack at exactly the same rating I'm...

Thanks for the links. I had thought of the battery holder, but it's too bulky for the space, the 2 AA's are snug enough in there already. Those tabbed batteries look like they'll do the job. It's safe enough to solder tabs together, isn't it?

Does anyone know of a good place to get replacement battery pack? I'm looking for one for a WaterPik, 2.4V, 1300mAh, the pack seems to be 2 AA Ni-MH's (see photo). I suppose I could bodge 2 AA's together, but I'd say ensuring continuity between the batteries is hard to achieve without...

Thanks again. No, I wasn't going to connect directly to the sewer vent, I was just wondering if there was a tee-peice that could be installed on the pipes with a 1-way valve that would open when the fan was on, close when fan is off to prevent sewer smells coming into the ensuite. I'll...

Thanks for the replies. The flexi-pipe is about 4 meters, and the fan is GFAN4T link I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere about length of pipe that can be used, but imagine 4m is probably too much for it. Says it can do 93m3/hr. I saw a similar setup and question asked on another forum...
