Thank you everyone for your input. My local Lidl has some of the parkside stuff in but, like most of us, I'm strapped for cash. When they had the drills and batteries I didn't have the spare money. I did twitch every time I went past. I would be seriously disappointed to lose this...

Hi I'm doing an internet search for replacement batteries for my Bosch drill. I have found https://www.drill-battery.co.uk/cordless/abatteries.php/6+BOSCH+X-CEL_PSB_18+132609#PBS021A which is offering the 1.5 A for a lot less than...

Hi rocks you rock :D The washing m/c waste goes into a thing on the sink trap - the spigot I guess - and it was blocked with feathers. Someone in this place has feather pillows and duvets and doesn't clear the feathers off before washing the bedclothes. Whereas I gave up on feathers...

Thanks rocks1 and sleepyhead. Not exactly sure what a sink spigot is. Any pointers of where to look for it would be appreciated. Pat's just tried it on the same program with nothing in and it's done the same thing. Apparently it is under a years warranty. Regards L.

Hi I am really *very* *very* angry right now. Never ever buy a Hotpoint Aquarius. Just don't. Ever. I'm rooming at a friend's house and he replaced the washing machine 2 or 3 weeks ago. I was away when he bought the new machine a Hotpoint Aquarius. I have just done my first...

I fitted a Eurocylinder lock on Monday evening no problem at all. It was made by Yale and they state a 6 pin design on the packet. It uses keys both sides and cost less than £30.

As far as allowing an electrician to do any work in my home, well, 1. I first came to this forum with issues about electrical work I had paid for and had the governing body, Elecsa, in to observe the 'electricians' *cough* work. I was issued a Part P certificate by that electrician while...

Well, it's lovely to watch the kiddie's play.

Hi I have two projects which involve the ceiling in the kitchen and bathroom. I'm replacing the bathroom light fighting with one that is rated for bathroom use. I live in a flat and as fas as i understand it there is something called screeding - about an inch thick - and then concrete...

HandyHands Thanks for your replies on this topic. Went to one Ironmongers and they only had 90mm zinc plated and I needed 100mm brass plated. They did suggest another place over the other side of town but I cruised round B&Q and found a suitable Eurocylinder from Yale. On...

Handy Hands Thanks for the reply. I'm just a tad cautious because it is my front door and I don't want to leave myself either without a lock or locked in or out. In case of emergency, how far are you from Sheffield? Regards L.

Thought I'd ask in here how tricky it is to replace a lock in a UPVC front door. I have replaced these type of locks before but not with this style of door. It not only has the door lock - a Euro cylinder lock - but also handles both sides. The way it locks is that I lift the handle...

I don't know if you have already got your brushes but I got genuine Hotpoint brushes via ebay for £6.45 incl. postage last December. Worth a search there.

Yes I did but I distinctly remember my ex replacing the bearings on an old Electrolux many years ago. I can't recall the ins and outs of that repair as it was over 8 years ago now but I don't think it required specialist tools. What I am looking for is someone who might have had experience...

Think this guy is a time waster (a) if you put .httpaccess into google the same post from the same person comes up listed in a number of places (b) he can google for it himself (c) there are so many places on the web where access privilege management under Apache are discussed and...

Hello everyone Have checked through the forum for reasons why my Hotpoint First Edition 1200 WM53P model could be making a huge racket on spin and have come up with these possibles 1. Bearings 2. Springs 3. Loose concrete 4. Broken spider. How difficult is it to...

Thanks for all the help, gentlemen. I've fitted the new brushes I got from ebay for about £6.50 including postage and am running it through a cycle to see if it works. Now, ok, I'm probably being a bit blonde here, but I read up on this site about putting tags at 90 degrees to get the...

I have SuSE on a workstation Debian on an old Dell laptop and two OpenBSD boxes at home. I have had experience of installing and using Red Hat Mandriva and Ubuntu. I think SuSE gives the most professional install and usage of all the ones I have tried but I haven't reviewed RedHat for a...
