    Hi, all of a sudden my toilet has started to refill itself really slowly and is making a hissing noise, I asume it's a faulty inlet valve, my question is are the inlet valves that you can buy in B&Q etc universal ? It's a bottom feed by the way Cheers Rich

    Help! Paint bubbling and peeling on ceiling

    Just to throw a spanner in the works you say it's chalky and it burn your skin that would suggest lime wash to me or distemper, have no idea how old your house is but if it is the new matt paint that is peeling off the old coating then there is a chance it is lime wash.

    16A Mitre Saw with 14A Transformer???

    Well I thought it was rather odd too, I couldn't find a transformer on sale anywhere with 14A sockets nor could I find 14A industrial socket, so i assume they don't exisit, so I've just peeled the label off that says 14amps on it and underneath it says it's a 16A doh. Why would anyone do that...
