Thank you so much. It works! Easiest thing to try was the kitchen mixer spout (luckily it is a mixer), left the cold run through for like 30 seconds, and got my hot water back everywhere. Phewww...

There was a leak at the feed pipe coming from the cold water tank. So i stopped the feed to the tank and drained the hw cylinder and tank by opening a tap, until both the cylinder and cold water tank were empty. Fixed the leak, turned on the feed to the cold water tank, tank is full, the...

I am going to refer to cordless drills, as corded drills (at least the professional ones ive been using, are solid enough to rather damage an idiot user, and unlikely to suffer any damage from misuse). But cordless drills are very delicate and even the best drill out there can easily be...

To charge, depends on cell composition. If were talking lion for both 1.3 and 2.4ah, then yes, but it will take twice the time to charge it. As for using it in the drill, is not that simple. You really have to do some research, and find out where exactly the voltage cutoff circuit is located...

I wouldnt mind having her back but she just cant commit and im a one woman guy. On a second thought i sort of like my current gf too. Anyway. I already know it is a fault and not a feature, but can it be repaired? Because if she has to pay 500 quid for a new boiler, she`ll hate me forever.

Yes well, its not my boiler and never even seen it, its my ex gfs boiler, but took a shower this weekend (we still keep in touch) at her place and her boiler developed this fault, so next thing I know, phone call from her "what have you done to my boiler?". So I though id ask to tell her "look...

Anyone know the usual culprits for this? It was working fine before.

It looks like ill need a t-amp after all because just last night I found out that my girlfriend gave my old speakers away as a present to her sisters kid. They are sweet and like making presents. Well see how much shell like buying me an amp now. So what do you reccomend, which one, to work with...

Ban all sheds, thanks for your first reply. As for the box, these are crappy little speakers anyway. Not worth doing any calculations, just slam one in, sounds about right-leave it, sounds like junk-replace it. The enclosure will be sealed since I dont like ported enclosures, and im gonna also...

Of course that I want to learn! And thsnk you for the well detailed reply. I like doing fun projects like this all the time, mostly audio related stuff since im an audiophile nut, but one of my projects included installing keyless lock on my shed, used a central locking motor off of some car...

Right, as im a total noob when it comes to electrics, I will have to ask, what is the difference between a resistor and a voltage regulator and how much does it cost? I still have to buy a soldering gun and a multimeter to start the job. Since I want kickass sound coming from the box, I will...

A have a fried drill with still good 14v 1.7 ah batteries and charger, and a unused amplified computer speaker sistem (small cheap stuff) with the real output of like 2 or 3 rms watts. Thinking of converting it into portable speakers and powering it with a 14volt battery. Just like those makita...

Yes, under a concrete slab is what I meant. Thank you very much for clearing it up for me.

Hi Which is suitable for being buried in concrete? Local shop has them in black and in brownish orange colour. Which should I get to use as main wastepipe and why? Thanks in advance for making any light on this.

Well you did say "unless" which implies that it does.

It is a flow issue. Remove the rad which shows the worst of symptoms, and flush it, see what comes out of it. My money is on loads of rust, not sludge, my guess is you have cheap rads or somebody forgot to put inhibitor in the system. If they are cold at the bottom you cant be seriously thinking...

And what was the most interesting find. A mate of mine told me that he found a huge rusted out keyring with 50 keys on it, a rotten book out of which fell 800 quid in very worn notes, and...an old rifle. They were all in a space betwee.n the cupboard ceiling which was removable and the attic...

Ok. Maybe ive exagerated diminishing the risk factors involved by ignoring critical safety knowledge which I may not posess. I did not mean to upset you by making you think that my beliefs somehow levitate around the idea that anyone can do your job. Im well aware that this is not true. the...

Well with the temperature and pressure relief valve plugged, no wonder. I will still do it, no offense but youre making it look as dangerous as defusing a nuclear bomb. Come on...its just water. The house has 5 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 3 bathrooms and underfloor heating at ground level. About...

Yeah i might do what your builder did, flick it all up. I still want to do it because too much time on my hands, and after all, thats why im here, took me long enough to find a credible place to ask for advice. Explain to me then what is involved with this job, roughly, and I`ll give it a...
