    Disconnecting wires from led downlight

    Actually feeling quite dumb now - just played around with it and pushing the connectors down releases the wire and it just pulls out - very easy!!!

    Disconnecting wires from led downlight

    Hi Looking for some guidance please. I have a brite source led downlight driver connector box for the brite source 833839 led downlight that I am trying to disconnect the cables from. They go into a push fit connector - so look like they get pushed in and then you push a connector down to...

    Restricting opening of Casement Window

    Hi, I have a casement window which opens outwards and is currently then locked into position with an old style casement stay. Unfortunately when opening the window it can sometimes get caught by the wind and fling open. I'm trying to find a solution to effectively provide some resistance...

    Automatic Air Vent leaking - Worcester Bosch Greenstar 37cdi

    Well I have the part, isolated and drained the boiler and taken the old one out. But cannot get the new one in. It is a push in and twist one but the hand space around it is very limited and I am bu**ered if I can push it and twist so that the side lugs on the aav can locate properly so it...

    Automatic Air Vent leaking - Worcester Bosch Greenstar 37cdi

    Hi I have discovered a slow leak on my boiler. Having taken off the front cover and had a good look I have identified the part which is leaking as the automatic air vent. Having googled the part looks like a replacement is about £10. Have found from this forum that it is a common problem...

    Hoover Nextra Dryer HNC170 - replacing heating element

    The sides don't look detachable - the 2 sides and back piece look like one piece with no screws etc on them - so assuming I have to go in through the front now.

    Hoover Nextra Dryer HNC170 - replacing heating element

    Hi, I have got a new heating element which I want to put into my HNC170. I have taken the back off and gained access to the heating element, however I now can't see how to actually take the heating element off to replace it. The new heating element has four cables with push fit connectors...

    Double Sided Fence with featheredge boards

    So I wouldn't be creating problems for the post if I drilled into it to attach a small metal angle plate then?

    Double Sided Fence with featheredge boards

    Thanks for the input guys on this - been out studying the fence to see what removal of the posts will mean - apart from a lot of hard work. Anyway one of the things I am thinking about is that if I take the old concrete posts out and replace with some nice shiny new concrete posts I am...

    Double Sided Fence with featheredge boards

    I had hoped to avoid digging - but probably worth a look I guess. The only thing I would say though is that the posts are leaning in the line of the fence rather than into the garden which is what I would have expected with wind hitting the fence over a period of time. I had just assumed that...

    Double Sided Fence with featheredge boards

    Hi, Hopefully you guys here can tell me if my plan is feasible. Currently I have a well battered fence which I believe is shared with my neighbour and he thinks it is mine. Anyway it is made with 3ft high concrete posts with 3ft boards slotted into them - the posts are leaning where...

    Locking Velux Window

    Oh no - not the glass. Carefully avoided that - did something much harder to do - managed to drill through the rolling mechanism. :shock:

    Locking Velux Window

    Thanks for the reply. Think I will stick with the swing lock - not such big holes to drill in plus they are cheaper. Also doubt if my wife would trust me with those patio locks after I ruined a sliding patio door putting one on - but that's another story :oops:

    Locking Velux Window

    Hi, I have 3 Centre-Pivot Velux windows on a flat roof. For insurance purposes I have to have them key lockable as they are easily accessible. The Velux "click shut" system doesn't seem to satisfy them. Just looked at the Velux accessories page and they have a key lock for their...

    Sunvic Thermostat RF Receiver

    Thanks for the response - I to am still assuming it is kaput - as the symptoms are the same as problems experienced by others with the same receiver. Anyway may not get a chance to actually buy a replacement today - so just to check my understanding of the wiring - from looking at the...

    Sunvic Thermostat RF Receiver

    Hi, From reading other posts on this forum it would appear that my Sunvic RF receiver unit has failed over the summer - tried to get the central heating working today and found that nothing was happening. Pressing the test button on it does not send a call for heat to the boiler. Anyway...

    Repainting External Pebbledashed Wall

    Have seen some other posts on pebbledash painting but didn't want to hijack them - so posted this one instead. I have some external walls which are pebbledashed and the previous owners of the house painted a few years ago so about time I got round to doing it. In terms of how I go about it I...
