Hello, has anyone ever seen a dishwasher feed hose with a 90 right angle at each end before. Or would it be easy to make one.

Cheers I'll have a look at dry stack walls never heard ov them before. Also seen tyre retaining walls which could be a cheap way of doing it.

Looking for ideas and suggestions for a retaining wall in my garden. Its 15m long and 0.5m high I plan on putting a fence above this probably just a wire fence. I was thinking of sleepers or gabion baskets but wondered if there was a cheaper or easier option out there. Any advice welcome.

OK thanks, I'll pick up some regular inhibitor tomorrow.

I have 10 litres and was just going to use that in the system. Not fill the whole lot with it. 6 rads.

I have some fernox HP-5 heat transfer fluid my mate gave me, would it be ok to use in my wood stove central heating system - radiators, pump. Or would I be better with the regular inhibitor for central heating?

Sorry having trouble with photos. Can't really move the stove due to the flue, pipework and hearth. Whats wrong with the steel idea?

I was thinking the sheet of steel would just cover up the cracks and look nicer. I'll have a look at the insulation board. Looks like it would be a bit of a squeeze as its 25mm thick.

Hello, I've had to remove my stove to replace the boiler (the joys)! So I may as well repair the cracked and blown cement render that was behind it. I only have about 20mm space from the stove pipes to the render. I'm not keen to re-do the render as it will probably crack again and I don't...

The manufacturer that I got them from doesnt specify either way, however I found on another manufacturers site (similar if not same product) that they use solvent free stuff.

Hi, I am about to fit some 10mm PVC panels around my shower bath. I was going to just use sticks like sh to fix to the wall and dow 785 silicone to seal round it. I then read somewhere that solvent based adhesives and silicones can have an effect on the PVC but I can't find the article again...

Never had that problem with the last one, the stove heats 6 radiators too so the tank never gets boiling. Never seen one like that Roger928, where did you get that?

Thanks, its not a hard water area. Terrywookfit can you elaborate??

Hi, I need to replace my broken immersion heater in my vented hot water cylinder. It is used occasionally to top up the hot water along with my wood burning stove. Can anyone advise on a particular brand to get?

Think screwfix actually have a lot of these taps.

Thanks dishman. What about nationwide stores anyone? Most of the websites I look at have a ridiculous postage to where I live in scotland so I don't like giving them any business!! Plus it means waiting around for delivery & possibly having to take time off work. Just noticedThat Site Bath...

I get a decent flow to the basin which has ye'oldie taps that screw round and round. I would just buy the same again but more modern if it means good flow. But I don't know where to buy such taps.

All the pipework will be new so no valves and 22mm. How do you know the bore of the tap itself? Been Looking all day and was just about to order these, would they be suitable? http://www.screwfix.com/p/bristan-orta-bath-pillar-taps-pair/61255

I wasn't bothered about temperature, more about flow from hot in a mixer being less than two seperate taps. I'm not sure if it would be but if anyone knows?

Thanks, think I'll go with seperate taps.
