    Forum Update

    I may be late to the party as I have been AFK for a while. Regarding the comments about the colour scheme. There is less areas of dark colour which makes the site look lighter. I think that there should be more distinction between threads with unread posts. The only difference is the title is...

    New HDMI cables causes loss of sound

    @Lucid You are probably right about the cables being at fault. These are the cables I brought https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TK3WM67/ Interestingly one of the original shorter cables is an 'Amazon Basic' cable, and the other two cables I got from ASDA I just found it odd that I 'lost'...

    New HDMI cables causes loss of sound

    I have a Virgin box (TiVo) and soundbar (Yamaha Bar 40) connected to the TV (Toshiba 55UL2063DB); and a DVD player (LG BD360) connected to the sound bar and all is good and works. The problem is that two of the cables (Tivo/TV and soundbar/DVD player) are not long enough, so I purchased a pair...

    Panasonic Home Theatre System

    @Lucid I have tested all of the speakers and I got a noise out of all of them. So it seems like it is a problem with the head unit. I've got the unit with me so I can see if I can get it fixed.

    @Lucid thanks for the information, when I'm up there in the next day or two I'll try what you suggested.

    Panasonic Home Theatre System

    My dad was given a Panasonic SA-BTT755 by a mate who had had it sitting in his garage for a few years. I help my dad set it up, but there was no sound coming from the speakers, we tested this by playing a DVD, there was a picture but no sound. The same was true with 'normal' TV. All searches...

    Creating a corner access panel

    There will be a corner trim, but I want the panels to be removable. The edge of the tile that goes over the corner will be overhanging the edge of the panel by the thickness of the backboard + tile thickness (so about 20mm + thickness of adhesive)

    Creating a corner access panel

    I'm about to start tiling my kitchen, in the corner I have a down pipe I need to box in and tile, but I still need to be able to get into the corner if needed. My initial thought is two panels that can be detached, but I can't work out the corner detail. The only way I can see it happening is...

    Spacers for different sized tiles

    I have got myself some 100x200 and 100x300 sized tiles. I had thought that both sets would be 2mm smaller, but they are both different! The 100x300 are as expected, and are about 97x297 to 98x298 But the 100x200 tiles are very nearly their stated size, or only 1mm smaller. I was going to use...

    Extend ring final or....

    I have an interesting setup under the floor for the wiring. It a box with downstairs and upstairs sockets and downstairs lights (Octopus wiring? - The name of the company is on the lid I'll update when I lift the floorboards) Downstairs: two wires in/out to the CU. Then a further 6 pairs of...

    Extend ring final or....

    Due to Covid-19 my plans to get someone in to rewire the house have stalled, but I am continuing with moving a wall myself. Currently this wall has one double on the ring, with the new wall in place this will become three or four. Originally my plan was for the rewire to change the ring final...

    Smart charging alternators.

    I work back of house in a large retailer where I receive and unload lorries. The batteries may be huge, or there maybe a bank of batteries, but a lorry could start and stop as much as 5 or 6 times in the space of five minutes and only travel as far as 100 meters (from the back gate to the...

    Garden Advice (Video)

    There is a "Watch this video in YouTube" link which lets you watch the video on directly on YouTube. Apparently this is due to "playback on other websites being disabled by the owner" https://www.youtude.com/watch?v=WjtYv76CNqA Notice the spelling ^mistake, the only way I could get a link to...

    sink waste traps

    What you are looking for from B&Q is 'Pack A' which is a sink waste, appliance trap, and a P trap. The one you are looking at from Screwfix is just the appliance trap and P trap, you will still need the sink waste. For the sink waste you need to make sure that the diameter of the plug hole...

    Beko washing machine not spinning

    It might be worth checking out the brushes on the motor. Our washing machine (a Beko WM5100W) stopped spinning when it was loaded, but it worked ok during the test program. I picked up new brushes on eBay for about £5 and they were relatively easy to change and only took about 20 minutes. But...

    New waste into old soil pipe

    o_O What's just enough? :LOL: I have always wondered what the difference between the two were! I would second that! I was hoping to be able to buy a new one. The one for the bathroom seems to be going well (touch wood) after almost 50 years, but then I don't think it has been disturbed in...
