    Any clue where the fuel tank breather is? Nothing obvious that I can see.

    Stihl MS181 chainsaw stops after about 30sec

    I could do with some help with my Stihl MS181 chainsaw which starts OK, but then stops after about 30secs, regardless of if I leave it to warm up in idle or rev it up as soon as it will take it. I have cleaned the air filter and checked the fuel filter, both look ok. I have heard that it...

    Panasonic TV cross hair in centre of screen

    My Panasonic th-50px70ba plasma tv shows a faint crosshair in the centre of the screen , approximately 1 inch in length. I can't think of anything that would have been left on the screen to burn in like that. Any ideas what it might be?

    Temporary Ground anchor suggestions please

    Following the storms a few months ago, which destroyed both of my 24'x12' field shelters, I am keen on the replacements staying put. So, I am looking for a reasonably priced way of providing some added storm-resistance. I have looked at http://www.groundbolt.co.uk/field_shelters.html, but...

    Karcher lance problem

    I cant' get the "quick release" nozzle fitted into the gun assembly. I can't push it in far enough to be able to twist it into place. I have tried some oil down the inside of the gun, no effect. Any ideas? TIA

    Ear defenders

    I bought some decent quality ear defenders (3M Peltor Optime 3 III Ear Defenders Muffs). I use them when operating a petrol leaf blower and they are very good, but you can also hear someone talking to you.

    Where to get PVCu trim cheap?

    Gap? The clothes store? Presumably it is a diy chain we don't have locally - do they have a website?

    Where to get PVCu trim cheap?

    I have a nice flat area of my (largish) garden and I want to mark out a court. Proper line marking equipment is too expensive and I have been experimenting with cheap emulsion and a garden sprayer - a bit slow and needs re-doing regularly. I had a bit of pvcu trim left over from a project...

    Tunneling in the Mortar ??

    Whatever it is, fly spray will probably kill anything in there.

    Tunneling in the Mortar ??

    Sounds like a masonry bee to me. They are solitary and do not have a hive, but like soft mortar, particularly on a south facing wall (because it is warmer). Into which they tunnel to lay their egg, I had loads when I first moved into current house and needed an exterminator to spray them, but...

    Identify this part please

    Further developments... I gave the mower a good jetwash then a quick test-mow. Then I found an identical part on the ground ! So, unless this is an extraordinary coincidence, I am sure this comes from the mower and they come in pairs. I have emailed the pictures to mountfield uk to see...

    Identify this part please

    Sorry, it's about 3 inch long. Not at home currently will see if it is of the exhaust later. I did find a parts diagram for the Mountfield 1430 but couldn't spot it on there.

    Identify this part please

    I found this mystery part in my garden. I think it might have dropped off my Mountfield ride-on mower, but can't be sure. Everything seems to function as normal on the mower as far as I can tell. Any ideas what it is and where it belongs?
