    Cheers for that. Got it right in my head now I think. Will give that a go when I get a bit of free time. No doubt I'll be back with more questions when I actually get started. Just one more thing. Do I have to go blue again due to the blue that's on our can I go black or grey instead

    painting front door. unsure what type

    Thanks for that misterhelpful. Guessing my lack of diy skills are going to be tested with that one.. Will have a look into getting what I need then see how it goes when I have a free couple of days. How long should it take to do.. Other than the bottom the rest of the door is in good condition

    smiths ss5 plinth heater

    cheers for the reply. when you say blocked supply hoses do you mean the flex pipes at the rear. if so is it an easy fix which I can do with very limited knowledge or would it be a case of having to get somebody in to do it. cheers
