My solution was to track down an old can and refill it (blunt hypodermic - slow but only done every few years!).

Not familiar with this particular system but I suspect that the filter is on the input side of the blower, well away from any sewage nasties! These systems are best serviced by suitable contractors. The solids have to be kept at the correct levels …not all removed, insufficient solids for the...

There seems to be an ‘O’ ring in there. Function not clear!

Do a bit of research on the old myford ml8s they were often used for a bit of metal work although wood lathes. The myford cross slide had an adaptor to fit. Might spark ideas. Main issue was speeds are very different …but not a deal breaker. Just go for it !

Can you do a picture if the problem piece?

The reason I dislike it so much is that it is leading people to comment and thus “revive” old long dead threads.

It is VERY annoying!

Sorry. Get an electrician. It’s a shower, high risk. Simple job but you want the documentation of a circuit values test. If you get it wrong and your tenant gets harmed, could you explain it to the coroner ? I’m not normally one to give in this easily but you risk your insurance cover and much...

Real life example of standby power at a constant of 200 w . cottage in Cumbria. Economy 7 tariff. Two year , recent fixed term. Day unit cost £0.3283 per kwh Night £0.2225 kwh ignore the standing costs - they extract those any way. 7 night hours = 1.4kw (7x200w) at £0.2225 = £0. 31 17 day hours=...

How precise? I have a granite kitchen ‘board’ from Lakeland, that is very useful and I can detect no error with a good quality straight edge, no light under the straight edge and no space for a feeler gauge. Depends on your purpose / need.

Would lime mortar be more flexible and not crack away?

I have had to deal with several properties with electric ‘boilers’. They have proved to be massively expensive to run. Some, we have taken out and gone back to oil. Not very green but the tenants can (could) afford to run them. All the time electricity is 4 plus times the cost of gas per Kw (I...

Is the gas feed working?

I store mine in a (obviously empty and well dried) 2.5 ltr fizzy drink bottle. Keeps them perfectly dry!

Boxford CUD i think. Strange that the badging is missing but the colour is wrong as well I think.

It is a constant problem. I commission lots of EICRs for a national organisation. I would say vermin damage is one of the highest issues and has been particularly bad this past winter. I tend to instruct repairs in Flexishield cable (other brands are available) the little monsters may nibble the...

Some hire vans have a rail down each side (sometimes several) that have a series of holes in them. You can hire telescopic poles that lock into them to stabilise the load , a bit like sprung loaded ‘pogo sticks’.

Regarding using mains gas (UK)…….possible in theory BUT too much hassle to get it approved. You have to prove that any installed system won’t cause pulsing on the supply and you can imagine the accreditation needed! Some LPG generators are dual fuel with petrol So that might be a way to go.

I think the wood lathe is a Union Graduate……up there in the top league in it’s time.
