Hi all, I have a Hotpoint VTD00G tumble dryer (its quite a basic one). Recently I found that the timer would stop going round whilst the tumble dryer was running, meaning the tumble dryer would run indefinitely. The only way to stop it was to manually move the timer to off. I also noticed...

Hi - have had a low voltage light for about 3 years - looks a bit like this one: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0021993/Trail/searchtext>LIGHT.htm recently, have decorated the dining rooms and fitted this light back, with a dimmer from screwfix...

How do I go about fitting coving round a bay window (a 'proper' bay window that is curved all the way round). The coving I was thinking of using was an Arthouse one made from 'Duropolymer'. Is it bendable at all? Cheers

Hi there, getting on with tiling my bathroom - now half aquaboarded so far - so, looking ahead to tiling - gonna do a mix of 450x450mm travertine tiles and 300x300mm 20mm square mosaics on walls and just the 450x450mm tiles on the floor. What size spacers are recommended for each of 450 sq on...

Hi GCol, I never said I didn't believe him, after I posted here, I went off to google to see if I could find the answer elsewhere on the net while I was waiting for replies. I found the screwfixforum and found there were similar questions there but the questions there seemingly had different...

Hi there, I know there are a lot of other posts re-tiling but I can't see one answering my question... I have removed the old tiles from my bathroom (took all the finishing plaster with them). I am now left with the sort of 'sub' plaster - the mortar coloured plaster layer. Thing is, this is...

Hi there, hope someone can help. My instructions for the shower pump I have bought (salamander RSP50)say that I need a feed from the Hot and Cold tanks purely for the shower. I have read other instructions for other products that say that if you can\\\'t have a feed just for the shower then it...

Well - definitely improved it.... Disconnected and took the heater out, drained all the water out of it and then filled it with Scale Away. Left it about 1 & 1/2 hours then drained it and refitted it. As i drained out the scale away it was a purple colour - dunno what that means but anyway...

If I take the heat exchanger / heating element off, can I descale it in any way? - eg kettle descaler? Or is this just blatantly stupid?

Derby - which I think is medium.... If it's the heater furred up do I need to buy a new heater or an entire new unit? Thanks for the response by the way.....

I have a Gainsborough 400X which has started cycling hot / cold. No discernable difference in volume flow during this cycling. Have noticed over the past few weeks the temp getting hotter on the same temp setting. Any ideas?
