I tried image searching. Have not found that handle so far. That's apart from one picture of the same handle on a locksmith's Trust a Trader page, but it looked like the old handle, not the replacement. It may be worth taking off the wedge to check the fitting pin distance between centres...

For setting pressures, it's worth getting a hand pressure gauge with a pressure relief button. For example, Draper do one which is currently £11 online. Overinflate the tyre slightly, remove the inflator tube (when a bit of air will often escape) and put the gauge tube on. Then use the button...

Thanks for the tips. Some feedback in case it's of help to anyone reading this later. I couldn't get the Uni Pro 6.5 sleeves in time, but got some short-pile Two Fussy Blokes ones. Got up early for lower temps (the Scuff-X has a working temp range of 10-32.2 deg C). Worked at 21 deg C or...

I know there are a lot of previous questions about prepping and painting MDF. I believe what I'm asking about is slightly different, however (having read previous threads). The short version is that I'm after a white paint which I a) reasonably easy to get a decent finish with and b) tough...

Quick follow-up.... I found that the bulk of the paint was actually rock solid. I tried sponging it and various scrapers. It was just where the builders had used compound over joints and screws that there was an issue. I removed those areas. I then used Zinsser Peel Stop, first on the...

I don't know about SEO electricians per se, but I have created a handful of websites and done SEO for those including my wife's small business (I've also 30 years plus in IT). She ranks highly in her local area despite the most recent business being newer and smaller than others. If you want...

Thanks Wayners, will give it a go.

Impossible to answer simply since scratches are not all alike (even within one scratch, you have several types). Yes, things have moved on from T cut. With any scratch repair,r you either have to: - Reduce the level of the surrounding paint (usually the lacquer layer in practice) down to the...

I've seen some threads about prepping and have tried to research as much as I can, but I'm still a bit stuck. House built 2001. When we moved in, it had paint on walls from the builders. We subsequently had it wallpapered That's been on 20 years. We've stripped that quite easily (peeled top...

Thanks. They do look a bit like those you linked, but they don't swivel as it says those do. Most likely they were for the old windows however as it looks like they've been cut off at the ends by the fitter.

Plug one of them at a time into a TV to see which you need. The other is most likely either a satellite feed or for an FM/DAB aerial.

We've had some bifolds fitted. Plasterer is trying to make good and needing to find space due to a trickle vent which is too high (too close to current reveal). It's a timber-framed house and around the opening are small metal strips fixed on one end to the frame but seemingly not attached or...

Been using Plex for a few years on my Synology for serving music and movies to Apple TV and Samsung TV Plex app. Needs some knowledge sometimes to get it to play nice when it grabs metadat, but generally great as you say as once you name the files correctly, it grabs images, descriptions etc...

Some ideas there although I haven't come across any timber merchants like that around my way (Surrey). Have seen some weatherbar which I might be able to use since I'm replacing the battens on the glass. Might also be just the excuse I need for some more tools! Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for taking a look. You can see the bit I'm trying to replace here which runs along the bottom of the windows. The second picture is of the cill on the side window. You can it's about 40mm deep currently with a drip groove. I woudl like to get something which is ideally a bit deeper as...

Hi - trying to rescue our shed. It's generally good, but the window cill has seen better days and was probably not deep enough from the start. It is one of those sheds with sloped windows all along the front (8' shed). So I need to find something I can use to replace the cill (at least 2400...

Dunno, but there’s a page here where you can apparently search by opener and vehicle for compatibility. https://www.homelink.com/program/choose If that doesn’t pan out, you could take a look at something like a meross opener controller. Cheap and can be connected to most openers (looks like...

Thank you both very much. Very helpful.

If you want to go down the rabbit hole, have a look at hfcr. You’ll need a colorimeter and can then calibrate your screen objectively in order to view movies closer to how they were intended. It will require a bit of practice and investment if time, but in reality, tweaking colour settings...

Hi. This is not so much a DIY question as a “is it even worth asking an electrician to visit?” question. We’re looking to replace a gas hob. Trying to work out if it’s feasible to get an induction hob. We don’t have a cooker supply at the hob location (only a 13 amp socket). We have a double...
