I’ve put the old hose back on, even though it drips, and the machine works fine, so, I’ll just order a new genuine part hose pipe and put this on when it arrives. thanks to those who responded.

There is a filter/gauze on the washer, everything looks very clean, both ends of the hose and the inlet slot at the back of the machine. I know this could all be coincidence but the machine actually worked fine yesterday, this is when I noticed a little water at the side of the machine, pulled...

My washing machine is just a coupon of years old, warranty expired. The water inlet hose had a tiny leak In the hose itself, dont know how but anyway, I had a spare, disconnected the leaking hose, a simple task, and fitted the spare hose, put the water back on, switched the machine on, and no...

Thank you, re the insulation, I have checked this but I shall double check. I will try the spray as suggested, with a brush. I realise this is not the solution which is why I will be getting an extractor fan fitted. I will also move things around so as nothing runs along that wall. Currently...

A massive thank you for the HG mould spray, bought some this morning, it’s a foam spray. The bedroom is painted, silk paint, anagypta, the faint stains all over the wall (outside wall). I sprayed the foam all over and spread lightly with a clean damp cloth, left for 30 mins, and then used a wet...

Here are some more pictures of my bungalow, excuse the diagram. The photos are showing the living room, wall to ceiling. I've not taken any of the bedroom walls as it was really hard getting the marks to show but its roughly the same principle.

Thank you all for your replies. Sorry, I did check on here several times after the FIRST silly comment, then I gave up. I’ve taken a couple more pictures which I will upload shortly. cwhaley: you say “ We've been getting them in our bedroom at the ceiling edge -- it's where there is no...

Ingenious.

There are spots appearing around the top of the living room wall (outside wall) and ceiling edge, its a bungalow. I use a dehumidifier regularly but this is not making any difference. I've added some pictures, one shown with a remote control next to the spots so as you can get an idea of the...

Thank you. I now can’t wait to get home to check. I presume I need to switch off from the mains before touching anything.

I’ll scrutinise the door frames when I’m home, but having sanded and painted these myself in the past I don’t recall anything being inside the frame, in that, there should have been cable coming out of the doorframe at some point, unless, of course, the previous owner had them buried in the...

Theres nothing else, not visable to me anyways. Internal doors were replaced, I honestly cant remember if they had those little block box sensors on them but if they did then surely the other half of the sensor would still be attached to the door frame with wiring and there's nothing. By the...

After 5 years of not being able to find the key for my house alarm and numerous internet searches I finally managed to locate the key number and purchased a new key. This is an old-ish wired alarm, no key pad or fancy bits, just a key to turn on and off but had been excellent until the key went...

Brilliant, hadn't thought of anything like that.

Just wondering if anyone might have any tips. I used masking tape on my caravan, a nightmare to remove, I used WD40, this worked a treat, removing all the sticky residue. Unfortunately this has now left some staining. I’ve not tried anything else as I know I must careful on the plastic. How can...

All done, thanks to everyone for all your tips, I only have a single speed drill, as after I’d no pressure with the very small bit starting me off, then the 8mm zipped right though, I decided it was easier to just purchase some 8mm bolts and not continue with the 10mm as I’d hoped. Don’t know...

Thanks for all your suggestions, I’ll put these into practice tomorrow and hopefully something will work. By the way, I’m just using an ordinary drill, the bit itself dosnt wobble when spinning.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try the slow drilling and see if it helps, also some lube.

Sorry, I should have said but I’m using top of the range HSS bits, I don’t get it, the small bit was great to start me off, the next zipped through, but the final one to make the hole bigger just bounced, I’m baffled.

I’m trying to drill a hole through a steel plate, approx 5mm thick, I’ve started with a smaller bit and then changed to a bigger one, this went through quite good, but, I need the hole to be slightly bigger, enough to get a 10mm bolt through. I therefore changed the bit to another, slightly...
