My Philips dvdram sdvd8821h will not write dvd's! It will write and play cd's and play dvd's but won't write dvd's. Is there an obvious problem I'm overlooking? I am just trying to backup my business accounts using Microsoft software that came already on my laptop. Thanks in advance Andy

Further to an earlier post, I have bought new rear shockers for my 1999 Ford Courier van (traling arm suspension). Simple enough, no springs, I thought! Got top and bottom bolts out of shockers easy enough, but can't get shocker off bottom mount. The metal bush part of the shocker in the...

Loud clunking noise from back of van - inspected and the tops of the shock absorbers are rattling around on the bolts that hold them to the body. The rubber mounts have virtually gone aswell (hence the clunking). When I buy new shocks, will I get the rubber mounts with them in a kit, or do I...

I have just had a sectional garage built and I want to put an office in it. What is the best way to go about this? The floor of the garage has been tanked out and concreted, so it's just the walls and ( pent, concrete fibre) roof that I don't know what to do with. Any help appreciated...

I have just tried to open some photos downloaded from my Minolta Dimage E323 camera. When I tried, the Microsoft Photo Editor and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer programs can't open them. Then I realised that they seem to have this new file extension on the end of them! This has only happened to...

I currently already have a garage base, it is concrete with a layer of screed on the top to provide a smooth floor and is 16ft long. I have got rid of my old asbestos garage and have ordered a new sectional garage. However! my new garage is 14 ft longer than my old garage. Can I lay another...

My insurer has decided that they want proof that my rear seat conversion has been professionally fitted. How do I go about this when it was fitted whenI bought it? Can a garage give it a "clean bill of health" that I can pass on to my insurer?

I have a ford courier van , 1998 1.8 diesel. It has just been serviced, but I have noticed for about a month now that it has lost power. Would this be a timing fault? I've heard that timing is quite critical on diesels. Would I have to take the van to a garage to fix it?

I have an R reg fiesta 1.2zetec and a t reg fiesta courier van. I seem to have the same fault on them both, where there is water getting into the passenger footwell. The water is coming from behind the dash board somewhere, I don't think it is from the windscreen seal. The van is quite bad as...

Right, I've removed the stickers from my van, everything looked great. A week later and dirt has stuck on where the glue from the stickers remained. Now the van is covered in writing made from muck! How do I get the glue off?

Can you buy for couriers with a backseat in from the factory or are they all modifications? I'm asking because mine HAS got a back seat (bench style) with a lap seat belt and my insurance people want to know if it is a mod or not. Is there any way that I can find out if my van came out of a...

Can a qualified English spark( 2381, 2391 etc) work in Spain, or would they have to "retrain". I've noticed that there are a few sparks from different countries in the EU working in England, so it can't be that difficult...(yes, I think my holiday blues have just kicked in nicely, been back 2...

What is the best way of getting a good finish on the skim coat ( apart from paying a plasterer)? I am only plastering up some chases for cables, but every time I have tried the finish is rubbish when it's dry.

I am having a garage delivered. It will be under 30m2 floor area so that I do not have to have building control issues. Do I need professionally drawn plans for a pre fab for planning permission? Can the company that supplies the garage supply plans? It's from a firm called Pudsey

What is the cheapest/easiest way to get 3 phase from single phase off a normal domestic supply? There must b something cheaper than buying a genny?

How easy is it to replace cast iron guttering/down pies/soil pipes with plastic? Someone told me that it's a nightmare to get off as it's so heavy? Would I need scaffolding or just ladders ok?

Do I need planning permission for a sectional garage? I've read on a website somewhere that a sectional garage doesn't need it because it is regarded as a portable building and will be under 30m2 and under 70m3. However I'm not sure tat this is still the case.

I've been told the heater diverter valve is at fault with my ford courier, and that is why it won't warm up. Is this the heat control valve on the dash, and if so, is it easy to change?
