I am re-doing facias and soffits, which means new gutters. Currently fitted are half round gutters but deep egg gutters have been suggested for the new install. No one seems to need the run off capacity of deep egg gutters(?), so why do they exist. Installers seem to recommend "deep flow"...

I have a 2013 VW golf 1.6 TDi. It is not Euro6 emissions compliant. I wish to bring it up to Euro 6. I have had a look around and it seems there are no conversion kits. This is an emissions issue for filtering the exaust particulate as I understand things. How do you build an exaust filter to...

This old window just about closes but will not close the last 1cm or so, meaning rain comes in during a rain storm. It hasn't "clunked" closed, as they do when they are working properly, for a long time, but this is the first time that water has come in. The old closing mechanism was replaced...

Seal is fine when ring nut is tight but it keeps coming loose. Is there a "loctite" or other means of creating more friction between the ring nut and the steel it tightens on to, so it won't come loose again. How would you do this?

Have a sink and periodically the kitchen sink drain assembly unscrews, underneath the sink, causing a leak. It's all help together underneath by a 2 inch nut, or a nut approximately that size. What kind of glue can I use to cause enough friction so that it will come off when need be, but will...

4" half round PVC gutter came down during recent storm. End corner broke off as it hit ground with single clean break. Gutter is old but solid, not brittle. Will poly cement put it back together with decent structural bond ?

We have to excavate a hole in a stone wall which is approx 60cm thick so we can put a soil pipe through it. Having removed plasterboard we see a pre-existing hole in the wall which is 1.4 m wide by 23 cm to 67 cm in height. It's a deep hole that goes through most of the wall but not all the way...

Shown connection to clay waste coming in at steep angle from toilet directly behind wall. We are moving toilet further away from the wall and so need shallower angle of connection all the way to clay pipe to get steady drop over the distance. We are not using a mascerator because of sanitary...

I have a window with a crack that ran years ago when the wooden frame expanded a little and I had to force the window to close it. It's never run any more and there is no shelling. Is there any fluid/ glue I can put into this to asthetically remove the visual effect of the crack and bond it.

Laminate floor board springs up and down. I did not fit it and have no idea who did. Cannot realistically lift floor from edges to support underneath as out of time. I think either the board was butted wrong way round without tounge into groove, ie slotted in wrong way, or groove has collapsed...
