    Is this the end of my washing machine?

    Changed the plug. Just a cheap one from wicks at the moment, only place I could get to, but I'll get a better one asap. Run the machine and the plug stayed cold. So good stuff, cost a plug instead of a new washer. Thanks for your help

    Is this the end of my washing machine?

    Cheers, that's good to hear. I've changed the socket as it was showing heat damage. That plug is 13 years old as it's the one the washer came with so I'll stick a new one on.

    Is this the end of my washing machine?

    My fiance noticed an horrible smell in the cupboard where the washer is plugged in. At the time it was off and everything was cold, put in another load and the smell got worse. When I had a look the plug was hot and I found the fuse as in the photo. The plug was hot, the socket is a bit...

    Read the OP because you haven't. He wants lengths of plastic pipe to make a frame to stop rabbits eating his veg. Where do fault protection and electricity come into it?

    How does oil peel? When I used linseed oil on a bench it soaked in, it didn't form a coating like paint.

    Human rights strikes again.

    It's easy. If it was my kid, then I (plus his mum) draw the line. I'm reasonable, I wouldn't dictate what photos another reasonable person could have, especially a family member. But my kid is legally my responsibility and I decide. End of.

    Buying and fitting a new bathroom?

    Pay the fitter to do the lot. If you supply it and there is a problem with what you bought either because it's wrong or it fails down the line then it's your problem. If he buys it then it will be the right stuff or if it breaks, he supplied it so he replaces it. A good fitter won't rip you...

    have I just been breaking up asbestos boards unknowningly?

    There's not really a test, like add something to it and it goes blue etc. All you can do is get a trained person to look at it with the right equipment and experience.

    Anyone Fitted A Surestop Tap?

    If you had to fit a stoptap for an elderly person with arthritis what would you fit? Be constructive rather than having a rant. I know for sure that my gran would never be able to turn off a stop tap like I have no matter how accessible it is. All her taps have levers because she has no...

    I got mine from here Buy Spares But I looked at this place as well Ransom Spares I looked at espares as well. I think it was just down to who had them in stock and how fast delivery was. But you need to take the old ones out to be able to identify what one you need. Mine was 2...

    My Zanussi zwf1221w has stopped spinning

    How old is it? The motor bushes wore out on my zanusii washer after 10 years. Sounds the same as yours, the machine filled and emptied but didn't turn. It was a fairly easy DIY job to replace them, 2 bolts on each one and a couple of clip on wires.

    How far can I trim this hedge?

    Cheers, looks like I'll be cutting it back in stages then and covering up. The last time I cut one down I itched like mad.

    How far can I trim this hedge?

    How far can I trim my neighbours hedge? They don't seem to get that it's a bit high. Their gardener insists there's no limit to the height it's allowed to be and that my side is my problem. I can trim it and shred it and get rid of it. Can I go to the fence line? I'm not expecting to be...

    How to add inhibitor after system drain

    It's fitted and filled. Just off to buy a radiator vent key as I can't find one as usual. Should I run the boiler up to temperature to make sure it stays leak free before I add the inhibitor or is that unnecessary? If I do turn it all on, do I need to let it cool down before draining some of...
