Hi there, Long time no post! I recently replaced the (3-way) water inlet on my LG Washer/Dryer (WD14030RD) as one of the solenoids had failed. All OK. I noticed at the time the dryer cover was corroded so I obtained a replacement and fitted this. All OK. Upon replacement I though I would run...

Hi there, When we moved in to our home about 5 years ago (new build) there was no manual left for the Kensal Gas Fire - Model K8187. I have tried to search online but this no luck. Any hints or tips as to where to try? I require it as we are looking to rent out our house and I...

Hi there, We have been overseas for about three months and are now back in the UK. Whilst we were away our heating was left on etc. and all is OK. We have hot water and central heating but our boiler sounds like it is "snoring". You hear the boilder light, run for a while (all nice and...

Hi there, We have a little used toilet in the the en-suite of the spare bedroom. We flush it every so often to "keep it fresh" but otherwise it is rarely used. I have noticed lately whilst it flushes OK etc. the handle (lever?) does not come all the way back up. You can lift it back up and...

Hi there, I have I search the forum on this error and think it appears to be the PCB so I need to get somebody in, or might be it be something else? The red light flashes on the boiler (the green light is out), it I hit the reset button all is OK, maybe for a day or so, maybe for weeks. We...

Hi there, We live in a "new-build" house, that was constructed about four years ago. In the lounge there is a Kendal Flame (Model k8187) gas fire that has a flue (or so I believe). We would like to replace the fire for something more in line with our tastes but do not have a manual or...

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read this. It may seem strange - or am I putting 2 and 2 togther to get 10? About 5 months ago our new Triton Mixer shower (not electric) started to drip. Called the plumber who changed it for a new unit (I had tried changing the o-rings but no joy)...

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this! I have looked throught the forums and have worked out (I think) that the following would be accpetable (if not ideal) - please correct me if I am wrong. I live in a new build house (summer 2005) where the garage is connected to the house. There...

Hi there, justa quickie - I am about to floor my loft and there are a number of wires (mostly for the lighting circuit) that cross over beams. What is the best (normal / good practice) way of handling these, is it to 'chip' out a small part of the beam and sit the wire in the newly made...

Hi, This might seem strange, (not this bit ...) we have a gas fire and the back to the fire has a material like feel and is coated in a sooty type finish (the fire is brand new). In dusting the fire the back material has been scuffed and th 'black' rubbed off and now looks bad. Can...

Hi there, thanks for having a read of this. I recently moved house and the garage has a damp course, some sort of membrain (1 brick level above the concrete floor - is this normal?). I noticed that a damp patch was occuring on the floor by the 'personnel' door. The buidlers returned and...
