    Only happens on passenger side. Driver side fine. hazards work fine , it's only when you put left flashers on, it has the fault. Sometimes it's fine then every few seconds it races then back to normal No bulbs out.

    faulty relay and mot.

    My vauhall mariva has a fault on the nearside indcator. Sometimes it flashes super quick, works fine when hazards are On. No bulbs out. I think it's the relay (nightmare to get to to replace ). I'm struggling for time to replace it before MOT. Would it fail on this.

    emptying radiator for new antifreeze

    Thanks. Should I run the engine after I refill, until the fan kicks in, and should I leave the top off the expansion tank to let air out, or is that not necessary. Again thanks.

    Rendered Garden Wall Planters

    If you want nice sharp angles on your render use stainless steal angle beads, galvanized beads react with cement and will rust. Use a lot of PVA on the blocks before rendering unibond or similar. I would not render straight to ground level leave a gap by using an angle bead. Once done coat with...

    Shed Weather Protection

    Water seal is still your best option, you could get away with leaving it for a few years between coats, if your timber is pressure treated which it should be, this plus a good water seal treatment your shed will out last you. It only takes about a half hour to do,

    Shed Weather Protection

    If you dont want a colour on your shed, i would use Tompsons water seal on it. It goes on like water, its really good stuff. Apply it every year or so, Screwfix do their own brand water seal which is just as good at around 18 quid a tin. It will be more than enough for a large shed.
