    Compressor Query?

    Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. So I need to stick with the power cable as supplied, only use my 16a supply, hope that the fuse is up to the startup-current requirement (which I can get checked) and read up about the correct hose to be used for paint spraying. Sorted. Thanks again.

    Porsche

    The series 1 3.8 was beautiful as was the series 2 but the V12 2+2 was odd-looking with such an upright windscreen……and the steel wheels were a poor replacement for the wire wheels. My brother in law rebuilt a primrose yellow series 2 with a 4.2 straight six. Perfect

    Compressor Query?

    Thank you. Clearly understood. Presumably I can still increase the length of the supplied power cable? Also does anyone know long the air hose can be?

    Porsche

    I agree that the Porsche SUVs are an acquired taste. I believe that Porsche was going through a period of slow sales and that the introduction of the Cayenne reversed the trend and sales increased significantly for them. The ‘sleek two-door sports car’ is still the epitome of Porsche and...

    Compressor Query?

    I am about to buy a compressor and the manufacturer says I can’t use an extension lead. It needs a 16a supply which I have for my planer/thicknesser. The P/T runs through an extension lead of about 2m. Why can I not use an extension lead for the compressor? What about just removing the existing...

    Unwanted emails

    I have used Mailwasher for years. Now I have retired and no longer have a website I have no requirement for it as I don’t get spam anymore. I did have a spate of phone calls from a company who wouldn’t take no for an answer. So the last time they rang I asked them to hold, laid the phone on my...

    Yes I did consider that. Better to leave it as it is.

    Treating Hardwood Fire-door with BLO?

    Sorry I meant to say…..It’s a flat and the door in question is onto an internal corridor so not an external door (weathering no issue).

    Treating Hardwood Fire-door with BLO?

    I have a rental property, which I am decorating between tenants, with a new hardwood fire-door which looks ‘bare’ in red wood finish. Rather than paint it I thought I would oil it with boiled linseed oil since I have some to hand. I wiped it over with a damp cloth to see what it would look like...

    Cashplus Bank Unsolicited Card in Post

    I received a Cashplus Bank Mastercard in the post yesterday with a separate letter confirming my PIN. I have never heard of this bank and certianly did not order a card. What worries me know is that someone has ordered one in my name as an additional card holder? I have been on hold for so long...

    Best paint for a galvanised/slightly rusted metal roof?

    Paint or etching primer won’t stop ck to galvanised metal. You need to apply T-Wash first then rinse it off with water. Once it’s gone black completely then you can paint it. Don’t use etching primer.

    Wrist watch question

    I ordered a watch strap from Jura having already phoned to make sure they has one in stock. ‘Plenty’ came the reply. 10 days later they were still awaiting delivery from their supplier ( where the ‘plenty’ stock was held! Very misleading). Took five weeks.

    What colour/Paint for external front door?

    For external woodwork I always use Superdec from Sadolin. Sand and prepare well but nomprimer or undercoat needed. It’s all satin although white and black is also available in gloss (gloss black seems to last forever!)...

    Virgin Media Email Issue

    Virgin Media have a major issue with their email service this week. Whilst I am now able to send and receive again, I do not have access to historic emails. They tell me I am one of the few that are affected in this way and will sort it by next week. Out of interest has anyone else been told...
