Your guess was actually spot on - it's the same electrical spec but a higher temperature, for most domestic uses either will be fine, but for an extra 30p I think I'd go with your choice, it may actually last a bit longer! Nick p.s. I have some 85 degree capacitors from 1985 that are still...

Maplin - part number VH50E, a whopping 19p.

I assume the charger connect to the car via a plug and socket of some kind - there might be some electronics between the socket on the car and the battery (probably just a reverse polarity 'idiot' diode) so it might not be as simple as plugging in arbitrary wall warts. If you can get to the...

Have a look at this, about 20 mins into program: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07w93k6/the-one-show-03102016

Manual says: "Ordering replacement filters To order more water filter cartridges, contact your authorized Samsung dealer. - Internal Filter - HAFIN2/EXP - External Filter - HAFEX/EXP " Quick Google of these part numbers shows an Amazon Partner (might not be correct term?) as a seller - I'm...

Depends on what is wrong with it - I assume whoever said it's broken has tried the usual software recovery programs, so if it's physically dead (head crash, PCB fail etc.), professional companies can extract the data but expect to pay several hundred/thousands of pounds depending on what's wrong...

Yes, TheVictorian is correct, wire everything back to a single point (assuming the cable runs are < 100m!). Motorbiking, agreed, a proper punch down tool is essential, as well as a simple tester e.g. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/lan-network-cable-tester-n59by or...

I have used this before and formed quite tight bends around an oddly shaped corner bath, including a tight 'S' to go around an awkward edge: http://www.wilko.com/curtain-track+accessories/wilko-curtain-track-aluminium-400cm/invt/0287705 It does make some odd noises when you bend it and it...

Probably worthless - see here http://www.thevalvepage.com/tv/Tele.htm for some collectable stuff, but even ones going back to the 50's often go for a few pounds.

Hi, There's a video here - it looks like you fit it from the outside, so the "hardened grip defenders" go past the uPVC, but press against the metal internals? It does look like they have had to mangle the outside hole a bit to allow these to pass though. Hope this helps. Nick

OK, you already have option 2 working, great news! However, unfortunately I don't know of any device that will take the full Freeview signal and broadcast it over WiFi, they are completely different technologies. The wireless sender suggested by ericmark would work, but you'd need another...

Just to clarify, and assuming you have a smart "WiFi" enabled TV (not a "wife" one!) do you want to: 1. Watch live Freeview broadcast TV via an an aerial on your roof 2. Watch online services such as BBC I-Player from the Internet over a Wi-Fi connection 3. Both of the above

Oh, that may have been a bad move - depends on how well insulated your house is and how old the boiler is. I live in an average 1970's 3 bed terrace, double glazed, full central heating and a modern condensing boiler and EDF estimate it'll cost me £245.32 gas for next year, which includes...

The running costs are about right - Ballpark figures only - butane gas costs about £1.50/l and each litre will provide 8kWh of energy. So, the unit cost is 150/8 = 18.75p per kWh unit. The heater is rated at 4.3kW, so it'll cost 4.3*18.75 = 80.6p per hour to run. If you run it for 4 hours a...

What's the mileage on the car? I think the Polo needs new plugs every 40,000 miles and obviously they have been replaced once already. Did the other three plugs look OK, they might have been recently changed. I agree with Dave, the consequences of replacing it might be worse than leaving it...

Yes, they do have a one-way valve in the body. Best to fit them with the hole on the upper side of pipe so water from the half sink is less likely to reach the one-way valve.

Something like this connected to the horizontal pipe from the 1/2 sink? http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Self-Tapping-in-Waste-Kit/p/421642
