I don't suppose anyone on here is handy with Arduino code writing? I'm completely new to code writing & struggling to translate everything I've read/watched into something that makes sense! I've used somebody else's code as a template & made some adjustments to certain parameters. This works to...

I spotted this in a BBC news article: Article here if interested: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-51310566

Is it just me - or has this forum been a bit dull without him?

Hi, does anybody know of any mini hifi streamer systems, other than the Marantz Melody range, that has the ability to drive 2 pairs of speakers with independent volume controls? TIA

Hoping that someone can offer some advice. Y-plan system. During summer months, HW as normal, heating still running timed program but room stat turned right down. On Sunday, turned room stat up (it was a bit chilly), all operated fine. Until Tuesday, boiler stayed on constantly regardless of...

....to JohnW2 ? He was very active on this forum until a couple of months ago. Hope he's ok.

Circuit is as follows: 16A RCBO feeding small CU with 30mA RCD + 15A MCB for one double socket + 5A MCB for lights. The lights are two 2ft fluorescents with 2 way switching, for some reason the lights intermittently trip the RCBO when they are switched off. But only from one of the switches...

The program featured a police endorsed independent recovery company (openly named) in Luton, removing cars from the football stadium forecourt prior to a match. Surely this is not an acceptable way to handle other people's vehicles, whether illegally parked or not?

I'm thinking about buying one of these: It looks to me like I could remove the surge and switch modules and replace them with a further two grid sockets like this: Does anybody know if I'm correct? TIA

Hi Guys, I'm planning to install a DAB aerial via a UHF/DAB diplexer, due to the current outlet being a grid jobbie with all four positions already occupied, I'm trying to find an in-line decombiner (but struggling)! are there any issues with not decombining the signals at the room end & just...

This may interest some of you guys: http://www.channel5.com/shows/police-interceptors/episodes/episode-8-498 The piece starts at about 14mins & the exhibit is soon after 16min 30secs. Two things grabbed me - one quite ingenious, the other a bit crazy. See what you think.

Flymo Quicksilver 46sd with Briggs and Stratton 450 series 4 stroke engine. A year or two ago the above mower was hunting and puffing black smoke, I replaced the diaphragm under the carb and it was running sweetly. It rested up last winter (nothing drained down), I had a bit of a job getting it...

This LV distribution pole is located in a large residential area where fenced transformers on the ground are the norm, I can see no feeds going up the pole & the street lamp gear is obvious. Anyone got any ideas what the small transformery looking device may be for? (This is the only...

I just wondered if anyone has used Isopon P40 as an adhesive? I have just bought a Honda Civic & the plastic trim over the arches has some broken clips leaving it looking a bit uneven & scrappy. I bought some dedicated spoiler adhesive, but the cure time is well over 24 hours (I need to...

Hello All, Having never dabbled in the world of satellite tv, I thought I would change over to Freesat & install the dish myself. Set up is as follows: 40cm Raven Mk4 minidish, Zinwell Sky branded Quad LNB, just under 20m shotgun cable to one room, twin run of RG6 to second room, all...

Good evening All. I don't visit this section of the forum often as plumbing is not my DIY forte! I have a problem with a Gainsborough Energy 1000x electric shower - the flow is quite poor with the valve set to fully cold & when turned towards hot, the "reduce temp" light comes on. Fully...

A friend of mine has the above TV, it has no analogue audio outs other than from the SCART socket. This works fine with Freeview tuner etc. but there is no audio from the SCART when using the internet features - YT for example. Does anyone know why this is? The manual (paper & the one on...

Inspired by RF Lighting's recent pylon post, here is mine: This is the larger of two overhead supplies to an industrial estate. Does anybody know what purpose the metal screens in the centre serve? Also, what voltage are these carrying?

Hi All, My car has developed an annoying squeaking from the engine (Pug 206 1.4 16v). It sounds like birds twittering I suppose. It only happens when warm, only at idle. I thought it maybe the aux drive belt or tensioner, but it's coming from the gearbox side of the engine bay...
