Thanks chap. Just ordered one.

Please can someone offer me a little advice? Just moved into a new place and attached the washing machine, which works fine. But, under the sink, the waste pipe has two waste trap adaptors - similar to the solo adaptor shown in the attached picture (am guessing one is for a dishwasher or...

I have tried pulling (even prising with a large screwdriver), but with no "give" at all, once the knob reaches its ordinary limit. The first picture here shows the nearest the knob can be pushed to the tap, compared to the second picture - being the hot tap. Image 3 shows how much movement...

Wow. Thank you for such a quick and detailed reply. I tried unscrewing (anti-clockwise) the dome, to the right of the gold rings but without success. Maybe not trying hard enough (was scared of breaking it). I don't know about "bent" but I can push and pull the cold tap knob back and forth...

Please can anyone recognise my leaking tap so I can Google it, or could someone tell me how to fix it? Tried using grips (two grips on one tap) and twisting in opposite directions but no good. Tried using a single grip to turn the entire tap clockwise and anti-clockwise but no good. Or am I...

Thanks for the advice. I've trawled through youtube and google without success (seems it was not a very popular model). Have just located a Haynes Manual, though @ £23 which seems reasonable. Will definitely follow your advice before spending on a replacement Starter Motor so, thanks again. :)

I have a Kia Clarus and suspect I have a starter-motor problem. Starter has been "lazy" for awhile and now when I turn ignition I get nothing at all, not even a click although the battery is good/charged and the dashboard lights all show brightly. Udate: I just rolled the car back a couple...

Thanks chaps. There is no evidence of damp on the outside (my side) of the wall. Only internall. As said, it faces North on my side (and we all know what side of a tree moss grows, I guess). It's a "shared" wall (in that were it to, say, fall over then any remedial work costs would be...

A good reply with some very salient points made, so thanks for that. We can't render the whole of the wall as one section (the section where there is most damp, peculiarly) is only two inches from my huge oil tank - the relocating of which is highly impractical, if not nigh on impossible...

I have a wall that surrounds my small garden. My neighbour, to the left, has what used to be a "lean-to" on the other side of said wall. Over the years, the lean-to became a more solid structure with masonry walls at right-angles to the garden wall. It has gradually changed from being a...

Your PC is easily capable of running either Windows 8 or Windows 7. I would advice you to upgrade to Windows 7 (not 8). No advantages, really, to Win8 unless you have a touch-screen (which you don't), quite the reverse, if you don't - it's a bit of a ruddy nuisance. XP has always been...

Brilliantly helpful replies from everyone and not a single sneer at my patent ignorance (very refreshing). So happy I found this site and posed my first question which I consider to have been answered most admirably. I hope I receive similar help in the DIY building section (got a garden...

Thanks, again. Your continued help is appreciated and following your advice as to my Battery Type (being 027) I have discovered that a Type 075 has since superceded the Type 027, so I now have the correct cirrant replacement type to seek out, either from the Breaker's or from a Dealer...

[/url] Thank you for what appears perfect advice. I clicked your link, put in my car details and the recommended batteries vary between 60AH and 63AH so, as you said, the current battery (at only 48AH) is already below spec and the replacement (at 43AH) is even further from the specified...

Hullo, first post and am hoping someone can offer advice. Make - Kia Model - Clarus 2.0 Saloon Engine size/Type - 1998c - Petrol - Manual Gears Year - 2000 Mileage - 48000 Have been experiencing starting issues and suspect the battery may need replacing but can't afford a new one. I...
