I had exactly the same problem once and after calling out the engineer at vast expense, who could not find anything wrong with it, I asked to have a look before it was all put back together. I found a small hole in the arm, near the centre, but when the machine was on and the water was going...

Oh dear! Cheap and nasty! I had just replaced all the low voltage ones because they kept going with these Alto 240V ones. Someone recommended that we put 240V in instead and they would be better. Didn't work though. These ones don't have transformers. Have just checked the bulbs and...

The holders are Alto and they came with lamps, don't know the make of the lamps and its a bit late to go climbing about in the kitchen to take one out of the holder. I will check in the morning. But the two new ones I put in are Phillips guaranteed to last 1 year and they lasted about a week.

Hi Inspector, sometimes they just don't switch on but occasionally we hear one 'ping' when we switch them on. I don't think it will be vibration as there is only a study above and a bathroom. The ceiling is a false one so the original ceiling is above it and I would assume that this would...

We recently had 18 dichroic lights put into our kitchen ceiling and there are only about 5 working now. The lamps were put in at Christmas and because of the horrendous cost I replaced only two, a week ago and one of them has gone already. They are 50w but the 240v variety. There is a...

I have a Miele and it has an electronic system lock. It is to prevent anyone using your machine without your knowledge!!!!!!! In other words, you can't open the door. Maybe you have activated it by mistake.

Now that sounds interesting. I have never heard of this product, where can I get it? Presumably it can be used on any woodwork?

I didn't clean the floor as such, thought the chipboard might not take the water. I know Amtico should be laid on ply but that is a long story. I rubbed it down with one of those stone things, cant remember what it is called, then vacuumed it, then pva'd it. Funnily enough, the area in...

I laid Amtico Stratica in my kitchen but Amtico's own adhesive went off so quickly that we had to abandon using it. We then bought Evostick Flooring Adhesive. I finished the floor just days before Christmas and now it is lifting in places. I have stuck some of them down again but the tiles...

amtodd, Thanks for your prompt reply. Did it and it works. Had put the cover plate on a bit squint so loosened it a bit and adjusted but as I was tightening it the fuse in the box downstairs blew. I switched everything off, took it apart and did it again. Seems ok now but any idea why...

I have a dimmer switch connected to 6 halogen lamps, each with its own transformer. The switch will no longer switch off but still dims. This is the second time this has happened. Have decided to use an ordinary off/on switch but when I took the cover off the dimmer there are three wires...
