I have a 25ft conifer with a pretty skinny trunk that i want cut down (i could do it but cant be bothered with endless trips to the tip!). I got a guy coming round to quote but wondered what was considered a reasonable price?

My Indesit dryer keeps getting the same fault. After about a year the pin that holds the back of the drum to the casing shears off. I have had a metal and rubber version of the fitting and replaced it about 3 times in 3 years. Anyone know of this fault on the G47V?

I need 1 ton of MOT Type 1 and 1 ton of sharp sand which will cost me nearly £100 from Wickes. Anyone know where to buy this stuff cheaper? Im near Brighton but assume most firms deliver nationally.

They share the same extension lead which also has a stereo (rarely used) and a cordless phone plugged into it. Any...

My Indesit G74V Dryer has a snapped spindle at the rear. I have ordered a replacement and it looks like i remove the belt and door collar and slide out the drum and bolt on the new spindle and pop it back in. Am I over simplifying this and are there any tips or nasties to watch for?

Im attempting to paint my extension with smooth masonary paint having used stabilizer already (primer). Hand brushing will take my entire life and my roller is no good on new pebbledash only refreshing existing paint. The electric sprays are like peeing milk into a hurricane and the cost of...

I have a 2001 Mk4 Golf and the reverse lights have stopped working. The bulbs are fine as is the cabling as far as I can see. Its most likely a fuse but there is no indication in the fuse panel or manual as to which number fuse controls this. I have not noticed any other electrical problems. Any...
