Going off at a tangent a bit. A lad I used to work with told me the gearbox oil for his little Fiat was only available at Fiat garages. I told him if he got the oil spec of the bottle, he'd likely find the oil elsewhere. He said no, only Fiat had it!

I don't yet have a gas smart meter. The fella who services my gas boiler told me not to bother with a gas smart meter because of charging reconfiguration due over the next few years. My supplier is asking me to book a smart installation. Is that the way to go I wonder?

This is the basin tap. I tried removing the bit of the old aereator but it crumbled away. Does this style of tap have a particular name?

It seems the Roku has to be paired to the TV its plugged into which I've now done so now have working volume and standby on the remote.

I've been using my Roku stick, which has volume control, in a Technika LCD19-910. I tried plugging the Roku into a Panasonic TX-L32C2B and the volume and standby buttons don't get a response from the TV. Are functions on a HDMI stick dependent on the TV they're plugged into?

Millers or Morris will advise on the correct oil you if you type the reg in.

Not sure if this the appropriate board for paving sand. I just want to know if anyone has used paving sand with anti-growth to prevent weeds and has the product worked. A local aggregates dealer has recommended Polysweep .......... any opinions? thanks

Quite old taps, about 30 years. I serviced the basin hot tap valve yesterday and noticed the water flow was not as neat as the cold tap. Using a mirror, I saw the aerator, which seems to be an insert, was missing. The basin tap spouts measure 5/8" and the bath, 3/4". Could not see thread on...

Common sense suggests if going to snap, they'll do so when being loosened. Just don't tighten them as much on reassembly.

70Nm + 90° apparently - torque to yield bolts. So if reused, they could snap it seems.

2003 1.9 TDI Are the bolts for the front/rear bush mounts the stretch type? .... new required?

The compressor was among the stuff in the garage I'm helping my aunt clear at her house. Just thought with a pressure gauge attached, it'd be handy for tyres. I have a corded 12v which I had to reseal with caulk last week when the hose seal on the compressor failed. Seems to be working now.

I've had it running and the pressure relief valve on the top opens if I block the output port so it won't get the pressure for a tyre.

This compressor was made to work with a spray gun. I'm wondering if its any use as a tyre inflator if I get a tyre gauge to fit.

Anyone got a set of these impacts? Rhombus inner arc design apparently. I'm certainly tempted. They'll go well with my Parkside impact wrench.

A mother and daughter do actually visit my aunt now and again whom my aunt enjoys chatting to.
