With the deck insulation boards you can use SureTwist fixings or normal screws with washers, eg. 106mm deck use 150mm screws with a washer.

If you go for a warm roof where the insulation is installed above the joists no venting is required. Celotex have a product called Tempcheck deck flat roof. Cheers.

We've just has a Rock door fitted and are very pleased with the composite door, good product. I can recommend them, a tad expensive mind.

I've used and can recommend Dulux trade diamond eggshell on trim and MDF, tough and washable. Great finish when used with a good water based brush. Two coats should be enough, however, I did three and I'm very pleased with finish.

Thanks Peter... spot on! Found out today that the tensioner has seized, needed a new tensioner and belt.

Thanks John for a quick reply! I haven't noticed any coolant loss, check this at the weekend before the noise started. It's coming from the offside too, so great advise - thanks again. Bloody awful noise until the speed picks up, so not going to drive it tomorrow.

Hi, not sure if I have the right forum, this one or the Car Repairs below! Anyway, my Vauxhall Astra has started to screech and squeal at start up and low speeds (under 30mph). Today it has started to misfire/jump at 50mph and stalls at idle. Any ideas please? Thanks.
