I'm just looking at some CCTV Cameras as we want just one simple model for our Garage that looks down our driveway for security. There looks like there are lots of models to choose from now but just wanted anyone's advice before I dive in, buy and put one up. I don't have a large budget, and...

Samsung washing machine has been fine, but suddenly today on a wash program, the drum doesn’t turn or spin? When it comes to the spin it just clicks and doesn’t turn? Any ideas?

Ok so we have had a new Bathroom about a year ago, and the bath Hot water tap (and the bathroom sink tap) are really slow. We have to put the bath on with hot water, 45 mins before to get it to fill as its so slow. I am told its gravity fed from the water tank which is on the same floor and in...

I have heard of this problem before and its probably nothing to be worried about, but everytime we use our Diesel Audi A3 it blows under the bonnet, after the engine is switched off, and its parked up, blowing away? Is there a reason for this? Is it to do with low Oil? or is it a general thing...

I bought an electric Homebase 2kW 2000W Convector Heater s/h which works great, but ever since I've had it, it absolutely stinks! fusty, smell, (not so much burning) but an awful smell which can give you a headache after a few minutes, thus defeating the object of having a heater on to keep...

My Mum's toilet handle on the flush seems to be stiffening up? Toilet seems to flush fine, but its stiff to pull down, and hardly rises back into place (its the old style lever type on the cistern) Have included photos of the inside of the cistern. I watched some DIY videos, which said to...

I use a standalone Electric Heater just to heat the room where I'm sitting as i'm working up in the attic/loft so its cold at this time of year! However this has suddenly stopped working for some reason? I have changed the 13A fuse as a precuation but still nothing? The heater did fall over...

I am working from home at the top of the house in a converted attic. As this is the top of the house, I usually bleed the radiator quite often due to air pockets which is fine and the Radiator gets hot. This is a new radiator, but it seems suddenly every 30 mins or so while the heating is on...

Is there a quick and simple fix for a Shower door (curved) that keeps coming out of its runners? I have attached a photo, but most days, this keeps popping out at the bottom, and it needs to slide back in to its runner, which can be tricky? If there are any tips, to keep these 'on track' then...

We have a Bathroom Radiator Towel Rail that gets scalding hot, but cannot see the best way to turn it down? There are two twisty knobs either side at the bottom, and worked out that the left hand one, (clockwise) seems to turn off the water going to the radiator, as the noise stops, but even...

Can anyone help with a solution to a partially blocked toilet? This has never happened before and has only just started. Basically the toilet flushes fine, and maybe the fresh water after a flush takes a little longer to settle at the correct height. But after a few hours left alone, brown...

We have a kitchen mixer tap that kept dripping so knew that the washer was going. Last night turning this off, it seemed to “snap” and the cold tap wouldn’t turn off as the handle just turns round to infinity with the water just slowing and not stopping! So we managed to get to the cold feed...

I have a VW Gold GTI 2.0 (Year 2000) and the back door is locked fast on both the inside and outside? This drivers side rear door just now does not seem to want to open? I need this to open in order to pass my MOT as its a good car (if a little older but everything else is fine).. I try and...

We bought a BOSCH TDS3525GB Sensixx B35L Iron and it leaks everytime we try to use it? We fill the water (not over full) for steam, and as the Iron warms up it leaks water out of the base holes all over the stand/appliance and all over the floor? This obviously (as its for steam), is very hot...

We use 47 Kg Propane Calor Gas Cannisters just for our cooker hob as we aren't on mains gas here, but is there a simple dumb way to know when they are getting low? I know we just let them run out and when they are empty, they are empty! (simple I know)!! But just wondered if I was missing...

Any ideas what this could be? Over past week, we have had a pressure drop from (mixer) Tap in Bathroom? Have checked with Water board, and nothing out of the ordinary and they asked me to check the water pressure coming into the house via downstairs Kitchen Cold tap. All seems normal... it...

Does anyone have any experience of this? Had this last week and remove some of the parts at the bottom and the filter and it "seemed" to work again for a while.. Last night, it came on again with E:15 error and some of the water leaked out of the front? This is obviously a draining issue.. as...

I have attached pics (I hope) of our french doors that turn with a special key, seems to have fixed itself and dropped internally as the key no longer has any 'purchase' and we can't undo the lock, hence not being able to open our french doors?! I think this has just 'stuck' over time and over...

Cleaned out our Iron Steam Generator, with a mixture or Limescale cleaner, and lemon juice as a natural way to get rid of the limescale build up. Worked a treat and its never been more powerful, however the steam and iron now smells with a weird fusty smell? Any simple tips on removing this...

We have a Rowenta DG940 Steam Iron but its suddenly stopped steaming? I didn't know whether there was a simple fix for this before we bought a new one? Looks like its a common problem, whether this model or others in the same range?
