Not a problem Jon..was the 1st thing I did and thankfully got away lightly at £85. I imagine taxi drivers know every trick in the book to get away with stuff like this as I imagine their insurance costs are fairly high anyway. Anyway, no more favours from me and the tW@t$ can wait to...

Like I said, not too fussed about the cash (have actually traded it in today for a new one and got top book price for it despite the damage!) However, just don't like being taken for a mug by anyone especially folk you were trying to do a favour to in the first place. Then again, If he has...

About 4 weeks ago, on my way to Scotland for a holiday, I was shunted in the rear at a rd junction by a local taxi. No damage to his vehicle other than a bust number plate but I had two holes in the plastic bumper of my Golf. I gave my insurance details, name, address etc and took all bar his...

Apparently, according to the local Trading Standards, since 1999 guarantees have had to be transferable. However, the company can make a charge for this transfer even if it isn't in the small print of the original contract! Solicitors never picked this up during the original house purchase so...

I'm not qualified in any way to know all the terminology, but I'm sure you have got the drift? ""Then you have as many Main Equipotential Bonding Conductors as you have 'earthy' services entering the equipotential zone, each connecting that service to the MET"" So going back to my...

Silly Question John...but where are they allowed to run the earth cable back from the kitchen to the CU? Can it go behind skirting/under carpet etc. The flooring is concrete and don't fancy ripping my floor up.

Cheers Richard. I have all the original paperwork and this was seen by the solicitors at the time of the purchase. I will call them in the morning and see what response I get!

I have a Semi detached corner plot property elevated 4ft from street level. As such the water main runs from the street, under the concrete floors, only emerging in the kitchen at the back of the property. Should I expect to see an earth wire on this mains pipe after it enters the kitchen...

I have been told that when upgrading my old style fuse box with a new consumer unit it needs to be double earth bonded. The existing box has an earth bond running to a gas pipe 30cm away but this is the only metal pipe nearby. My water mains pipe runs under the house and emerges over 20ft away...

My house had triple glazed units installed throughout about 4 years ago, just before I bought it. One unit in the rear bedroom has a central pane and two side opening windows. The two side windows are fine but the central one has a lot of marks on the glass surface inside the panel. The...
