I have installed a new Ikea (Whirlpool) gas hob. The electric is connected via FCU and there is power getting to the hob cable. When you turn and press the gas control there is no clicking and so no spark. Have i missed something or is this faulty do you think?

I have just replaced a motorised zone valve after almost binning the programmer on my system. The pump was continously running but all valves were closed which seemed odd and expensive. (no bypass) I assumed the programmer which is quite old would be at fault but sussed out that the pump got...

I have had random tripping of my main trip 80a 30ma. I now cannot get all the circuits on at the same time. I can get any of the circuits to work so long as i don't have everything on together. ie. no one circuit throws up a fault. Having checked and rechecked everything i have concluded that...

I have this unit controlling my underfloor heating. It has recently been taking the temperature to in excess of 23F when it is set for 19F. The thermostat is not calling for heat (no flame showing) but the zone valve is opening. I have not altered the wiring recently and it has been working...

I bought several sets of brushed nickle door handle sets from Homebase for fitting to Premdor firecheck doors which are standard size and made of veneered chipboard. Quite good quality. The kit includes four threaded bolts for securing the handles through the door. They are too short! The sets...

My wifes Inspiron 1000 laptop has lost its sound card and now it shows no activity. I assume the card has failed. The laptop is three years old so not worth sending away for repair. Can it be replaced DIY ?? I have never opened a laptop so would appreciate any advice.

Hope someone has an answer to this little problem. The protective plastic film was not removed from the UPV frames after fitment and now some time later it will not come off. I have tried thinners and gentle heating but the stuff just comes off in tiny pieces and is brittle. Scraping does not...

My elderly neighbour has asked for help as their Zanussi is tripping their RCCD. I identified the culprit after process of elimination. I removed the top of the machine and checked no leaks visible so it is probably brushes or the heating element. (HARD WATER AREA) Trouble is i cant see how...
