I used one of the above today for the first time as space was very tight. The fitting was a straight connector on copper pipe. I'm worried that there seems quite a bit of play in the joint, similar to an unsoldered end feed. Is this normal? The pipes are square and fully inserted as per...

Which screws should I use for the above? I have bought these http://www.screwfix.com/p/goldscrew-countersunk-screws-3-5-x-25mm-pack-of-200/17189, but I'm worried they might rust. Do I need to use stainless steel? Edit: The link doesn't seem to work. They are Screwfix Goldscrew and it...

In the last few weeks I've noticed a buzzing/vibration noise coming from the passenger side foot well.

While servicing my van the other day I noticed the drive belt had a small crack running along the length of the belt. To get a better look I removed the belt and found that one of the six ribs was worn away (same position as the crack). I checked the pulleys and found a little play in the...

Hello. I got my kitchen sink out of a skip on a new development; It had been thrown away as most of the fixing lugs were broken off. After 10+ years and while changing a tap washer it has come loose. I'm wondering what to use to stick it back. A friendly plumber recommended Fix All...
