Very true, just thought if it's a case of knackered pump, I might be able to clear the blockage, but maybe not, might just leave it. thanks

thanks '45yearsagasman', I tried to check the pipes just by gently tapping, but it appears the pump either has something stuck in it, or it's decided to finish cooperating. Either way it looks like I'm going to have to result in calling the cavalry. Could anyone tell me if it's...

Hi All, bit of a long one so my appologies. I wanted to take the rad off in my kitchen but one of the valves was stuck so I thought I'd try to draing the system and replace the valve and rad at the same time. I proceeded to drain the system but only got a bucket full of water.I tried...

yes I agree, I was after a quick fix in the meantime as I'm going to move the office into the front room in a month or so.

Hi All, My home office is expanding rappidly and I need a 10 gang extension lead. It needs to be 4 metre long but I can only find 2 metre ones. Can anyone tell me if it would be wise to use 4 metre flex in place of 2 metres? Or would this mess the surge protection up? Many thanks

cool, thanks guys, I'll re-wire tomorrow. Big thanks. I'll let you know if it works. :)

Hi All, I've just moved the socket which the timer controls of my boiler use. It was previously a single socket but I wanted to make it a double, I moved the socket about 2ft higher and shortened the flex of the timer controls. When I turned the power back on the lights on the control...

Slugs and snails hate salt. It melts them like a jelly baby in the microwave. The only problem is that salt will not last if it rains. As suggested above, sand is a good way of detering them so too is a bowl of beer (what a waste). but it does the trick as they then drown. Slug pellets...

I bought one from Wilkinson (approx £50) last year.It's a really good looking one, Real good as a Patio heater or BBQ, make sure you don't leave them out over the winter as they tend to loose their paint (the terracotter ones anyway).

Going back to the valuation comment, I have only ever come across "Agreed Valuations" on classic car policies. I'm not doubting that the Mini Cooper hasn't got an agree valuation but if it is on a normal private car policy let's hope nothing happens to it, because they WILL try to give him...

Hello All, I'm looking for a good electrician in the Basildon (Essex) area. Would anyone be able to help? Thanks, Tommy J

If you don't accept the offer then they will try to settle it by offering more. All you need to do is simply ask for more, provide a lot of RELEVANT information which backs up your findings. I.E. Glass' Guide. If your not happy then look in your handbook at the complaint proceedure, follow...

Funny enough I got married a few weeks ago.... lol though. That's a fair point but, if it's a possibility that the water pump causes this sort of noise in the pipes then that might be a start.

Hi All, Over the past few months we've been experiencing a droaning noise. This has now got VERY Anoying and more frequent. At first I thought it might be the neighbours or something outside but as we couldn't track down where it was coming from I couldn't do anything about it. I spoke to...

Hi All, I moved into our home a year ago now and I'm just getting round to fixing the shower. The previous owners left a note telling us that there was a funny smell coming from the swich near the main fusebox (the consumer Unit). We've not used it yet and I want to install a new consumer...

thanks Jason

Hi All, I bought a bifold door from Homebase at the weekend and can you beleive that they don't sell the track for it. They said, "they don't come with the door because people kept nicking them, and they don't sell them seperatly because no-one needed them". If people kept knicking them then...

Yeah, I get the smell of a wet dog coming through when i turn if off.

Stupid things birds, it got in, it must be able to get out.
