3 year gtee now 4 years old. Problem started last night at the most inopportune moment. Have just come home from a major neck operation and have a load of clothes etc to wash that I used while in hospital (imagine the germs ) No matter what program I select, it merely selects "DRAIN" and...

This has got to the point of annoyance now. Use to cause the toilet to spontaneously refill once every week or so. Now, 2-3 times an hour. The pics show the inside (cleaned the crud out now) of the cistern. Can anyone tell me where to find instructions on how to remove the flush...

I have an old Glowworm Fuelsaver 40B MkII (came with the property) When I moved in a year ago, used to sound like someone was beating the hell out of it. Ended up being a dodgy motorised valve. Behaved itself ever since up until a week ago. Now, when you hear the click of the flame...

I live in a cul-de-sac. I share an open arched porchway with my neighbour that is approaced via a single path between our properties. How would I go about splitting the area and enclosing my side in a closed porch with a door? Are there any pre built "kits" or is pretty much a bespoke thing...

Model FIE 36 K.B IX GB Says it is 2400 watts MAX and goes on to suggest different ways to connect to electrical circuit one of which is via a 13amp 3pin plug. Is this a safe way of connecting it or should I be looking at connecting it to the switch plate above the worktop? What other...

Q. why am I finding a red/orange deposit on my shower head (heats the cold mains) and inside my waterproof elec shaver and around the inside of the chrome waste on the sink?

Had a peep hole supplied with my Anglian made (or not) door. The other day I came home and something was different with my door. First couldn't figure it out, then it dawned on me. Some little tw4t had nicked my peep hole and pushed the other half throught the door. I've since ordered a new...

Is this any good? Could it cause damage to roof tiles when the foam starts to expand? Is it really waterproof/stops leaky roofs?

A friend has visited a property he likes but when he went into the loft he saw what could only be described as a second set of joists roughly 1.5 feet above the original with beams running up to the roof beams and a column at the gable end. No one seems to know (or want to say) why. Is there...

Bought a house with old bathroom. Changed old Triton t80 7.5kw with Triton t80si 8.5kw as the guy said the wiring was of the right gauge to take it. Started using the second step in the power (not heat) setting and I started smellimg a rubber smell around the house. Never put two and two...

After the heavy rain we have had lately, i've noticed a small puddle appearing in my bath. Went into the loft and noticed that on the boards there are two or three wet spots. Looked up and some tile are showing daylight. No Felt. 1) Can I install felt or something similar without taking tiles...

Moved into our new house in June and the neighbours on both sides were the best you could ask for. Unfortunately, one side was renting and now that they have left, the new family is a nightmare. Banging doors, running up and down the stairs and loud music until the wee hours. Is there...

Why is it that when I turn on my electric shower, the two R80 spots ( i know, shouldn't be in a batroom :oops: ) dim then go brighter again? Am thinking to install one of those combined spot/extractor units and one other appropriate spot later instead but need to know what problems to look...

Just moved into our first house. Owner left all kitchen appliances. The microwave is rank as is the gas hob and the oven doesn;t work. :( I suppose I should have checked. The hob I de greased and am using for now. Q) Is Baumatic any good? Seem to be fairly cheap.

Can anyone tell me what the heck is the green grease like substance I have found in my bathroom pull switch AND a few sockets? At first I thought it was green paint to show the unit hadn't been tampered with until i touched it.

Might not be the right place (being a techy forim) but where could I get some "oversized" light switches from. I just want something a bit different to the usual choice.
