I have a Diplomat Dual Fuel Range oven - DF1100aDL which is having electrical glitches. The Main Fan oven gets warm - but is about 40 degrees above the set temp, also is constantly warm (~40 deg C) unless the 'Auto' setting is engaged. The Grill temp controller 1-8 only works on full. I...

Looking at visiting Canada for a couple of years... 110V 60Hz mains. Is it worth taking any UK electrical stuff? - I have asked a couple of manufacturers about power tool chargers for the batteries - the response so far is that I will need compatible chargers to be able to run the tools - not...

A daft question maybe??? :? :lol: But, I love the finish of the deck oil on my new deck (thanks to folks for all the advice on here 8) ) - Is there any reason that deck oil would be no good to do my timber window frames? Cheers

During the long dry period a high percentage of my grass turned brown and collapsed. Some areas of recently seeded in composted good soil seem to have survived remarkably well :shock: Since the beginning of the hosepipe ban we seem to have had rain every day. The grass that was doing well...

Hi I have an Indesit DG 5100 W dishwasher. Recently the door has fallen quickly to full open instead of the usual damped opening performance. Any clues as to what the mechanism is for this and if it is likely to be an easy repair or part to replace??? Thanks

Just about to make a start on my decking project and realised that there is a huge amount of turf to remove :lol: - and get rid of somewhere... Does it need to be completely dug out - or will the membrane and gravel kill it anyway - does seem like a waste of effort and cost if not really...

I am moving my Whirlpool Fridge/Freezer S25B-RSS31-A/G The left hand door has water connected to the dispenser and ice-maker via a pipe that runs through the centre of the lower hinge. How do I disconnect the pipe so i can get the door right off??? :lol: Advice MUCH appreciated LOL :D

I have just had my bathroom done with 1/2 tile all round in marble. The bath is boxed in and completely tiled in too. Most noticeable is the surface that the bath sits on. Where the fitter has used sealant around the edge of the bath there are mars on the marble all the way round :cry...

I bought some chocolate marble tiles from B&Q for my new bathroom. The box said to seal them on the surface and edges before installation and again on the surface after grouting. The tilers who fited them said that you don't need to seal them before fitting them just afterwards, but that...

Is it expensive? :? I am contemplating using tiled skirting in my new kitchen / orangery area to match the basalt slate effect floor tiles. The quote from the tiling company came back at £450 which I can only assume must be due to the floor area (44m²) - in reality only 12.8 m of edge...

Hi - I'm wanting to put chocolate marble in my new bathroom. Seen some I like in B&Q. I like the large 305 x 612 tiles in a brick effect. It occurs to me that there will be many requirements for a 1/2 tile to create the brick effect - 305 x 305 are available in the same material - should I...

My 7 year old Alpha CB24 is refusing to function at the moment. When it is turned on after a reset the yellow light flashes on and off as it should. When I try to draw some heat by either DHW or CH it gets all the way through fans, pump everything running, fires up the boiler flame for...

I am updating my Boiler to a Vaillant 937. I need to fit a programmable thermostat as I don't currently have one - is it best to fit a Vaillant thermostat like VRT 360? - wireless would be most convenient I guess but seems to be an extra £45... I am also fitting TRVs throughout. Any...

My current combi boiler is an Alpha CB24. Fitted about 7/8 years ago. The property is a large 5 bed dormer bungalow with currently a shower upstairs. We have 12 radiators. Due to house modifications taking place the Alpha needs to be moved from 1 wall to an adjacent wall and the gas pipe...

We are planning to re-fit our utility room. Part of the plan is to have a large ceramic Belfast sink in there for use of cleaning oven trays, painty stuff, degreasing motorcycle engines :wink: - don't tell the wife :lol: We plan to have a sprung spray head type heavy duty mixer tap also...

I am needing a thermostat and programme control for my boiler. Does anyone know if the Honeywell Prestige is available in the UK and what sort of cost? It looks amazing :lol: http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/products/wireless/prestige/prestige_feature.html an old fellah doing...

Hot water doesn't always turn on when requested - so we end up putting the central heating on when we need to run a bath or shower to get the boiler to fire up. Problem seems to be with the flow switch. I used to be able to take it of 'fiddle' and put it back & it would work again for a...
