Hi all, my 1998 Audi A4 has a fault with the DIS. The display sometimes has the common missing pixels fault but most often recently doesn't come on at all. I've bought a new LCD panel but the last time I used the car the display worked almost perfectly for the first time in ages. Is there a...

I have an oil fired 1989 Stanley Super Star 60 range which is used primarily for central heating. With both thermostats set to 'idle' the burner runs for short periods before being shut off by the oven thermostat reaching maximum temperature even though the radiators are just about warm. At...

About fifteen years ago the overhead live cable to my house came down during a heavy snowstorm. The repair men appeared after a couple of days at 8pm but couldn't replace the cable because of obstruction from tree branches. They repurposed the earth wire as a live so I've only got incoming live...

Hi, I'm trying to narrow down the reason for poor Freesat reception on certain channels. I've got a Mk1, region 1 (west Wales) Sky dish with recently replaced Thompson LNB and a Manhattan HD-S2 receiver. The channels which work are perfect and those which don't show 'no signal' or a severely...

I have a Bosch KKU3200 fridge freezer with electronic control panel at the top. It normally runs at the 'eco' settings of -18c for the freezer and +2c for the fridge but recently the freezer temperature has been rising to -12c then cooling down to -18c again. It's almost silent when the...

I recently replaced the water heating element of my Hoover W1120 washer/dryer which had been causing a short circuit. The machine worked ok for three washes but now the timer has developed two new 'off' positions. The most common program I use is the number 3 'fast coloureds'. The machine...

Hi, as I closed the door of my Hoover W1120 washer I noticed that the earth leakage switch on my fusebox had tripped. I hadn't even selected a program or turned the machine on. The fault is now present whenever the machine is connected to the mains, with all controls 'off', regardless of whether...

Hi all, my faithful old Hoover W1120 washer/drier has just developed its first problem in over 12 years. When I pressed the On switch to start a washing program it tripped the earth leakage switch of my fusebox. I reset the switch and tried the washer again, which worked normally. After...

Hi all, I have a small stream crossing at a right angle underneath my driveway. The original conduit was a two foot diameter concrete pipe which has crumbled at one side of the driveway. I don't have the money to hire a digger and do the job properly. After excavating as much as I can to...

Hi, can you tell me the correct nozzle size and type for my Stanley Superstar 80 (60,000 BTUs/17.5kW per hour net to water ) please? It uses an EOGB Inter 2000 burner. The Stanley brochure specifies .65 US, 80 degree solid but the installation guide specifies .60 US, 60 degree solid, both at...
