Hi A few years back I could purchase plastic angled mouldings to stick onto external corner walls in rooms after decoration. I'm having great problem finding them now as they are good for protecting wallpaper and keeping the corners clean. Tried the usual, B&Q, Homebase but no luck. The...

Hi We have a small conservatory with a polycarb roof wich is fine except when sun shines the glare makes it very difficult to see PC screen (PC/internet is in here no room for it elsewhere). My question is; is there a paint or a film that can be applied to the polycarb roof to reduce glare...

Hi Just below my Voker combi, on the 22mm CH flow & retun pipes, there is a 'T' on each pipe linking both pipes together via a 15mm gate valve. To describe it electrically; it's like a short circuit between the CH flow & return pipes with a gate valve in the middle. The gate valve is...

Hi Got my 17th test to sit shortly but stuck with a zs calc. What answer do you get for the following. Zs=Ze+(R1+R2)xMxL Ze=1.2 (R1+R2)=30.2milliohm/M M=1.2 L=25M I get the answer of 36.906 ohms but this feels too high. Any help with this will be appreciated.
