Hi all, the lad has now started driving lessons so the next step is getting his own car. We all know how expensive the insurance is going to be, so looking for any recommendations and how to keep the cost down. Thanks ! To put him on ours as a named driver would cost £586 extra, 2L engine which...

Depends on what the chap is making, if its web based sales only then it does not matter where the workshop is, or what it looks like. All you need is access for the couriers. 100 ft is my commute !

Hi all, i would say Yodel are the pits, we have been waiting 3 weeks for them to deliver a small parcel. Every day we track it and it say's out for delivery, the day starts off with around 46 drops then when it gets to 1 and we are next the track say's either can't find property or could not...

I was at a customers place today taking in a brew when i spotted a new house sign. It was around 12inches by 4inches in Oak, the lettering was deep and crisp, it had a moulded edge and was oiled. I asked how much, £10 delivered off the internet ! £20 would of been reasonable. Can't see why they...

Tried grease and wiped over everything with wire wool, still dripping ! Time to get a plumber out me thinks !

Hi Sunnybob yes thats the one i have, replaced the o ring with the one that came with the new unit. Hi Doug did not use any silicone grease, will pop into screw fix later and give some a go .

Hi folks, back again as i fitted the new cartridge + o ring at the back and hey presto it still drips. Any idea's as after 2 weeks of dripping, the other half is now on my back ( don't know which is worse the drips or the nagging !). Our water is very acid so can't see any problems with scale...

Screwfix do a replacement cartridge for £66, one now on order. Thanks for the replies.

Our Aqualisa shower has started dripping, to replace the cartridge is £120 trade. Its going to be moved in a couple of months and maybe replaced so don't want to spend this much. Took the cartridge out but can't see anything wrong with it. Any tips on how to stop it dripping short time. If it...

Been asking around re underfloor heating with carpets and getting conflicting answers. Got it under slate floor and very pleased with the results. Going to take up the floors in living rooms and put in some insulation so have the chance to instal it or go for radiators. Anyone have it under...

This year so far 2 Blackbird nests and 1 Robins nest all predated. Last year a wild Mallard nested in our flower bed, she sat patiently on 12 eggs for weeks. When they hatched on the first night 8 chicks where taken and by the second day all had been taken. Often get Pheasants proudly bringing...

Sorry chaps i got a bit muddled with my question. If the pendant is rated at 25W max could we use a 60W standard bulb, what would happen if we did ? If not then we will have to use a 10W LED which is 60W equivalent in a standard bulb. Thanks for the replies.

Hi all. The other half has taken a fancy to a pendant light , which on the spec say's 25W max. Can we use a 60W LED bulb in this fitting ? Thanks for any replies.

Did our local council not think that if they start charging at the local tip for nearly everything ( their is an A4 list of items and the charges ) and bin collections at 2 weekly intervals, with 3 weeks in the pipeline then their would be an increase in fly tipping. The department in charge of...

heimlaga, i see your burning softwood, over here its hard to convert people from burning hardwood. I sell Douglas fir and Spruce logs some like it and some don't and ask for hardwood logs instead which i can also supply. I explain that softwood is what they burn over your neck of the woods and...

Hi marcros, thanks for that, looks like they do a converter. Shall give them a call Monday.

Ordered a multi material cutter as listed for my starlock machine as a ASZ32SC but the one i ordered with the exact ref number and identical packaging does not fit, the only difference is it does not have a coloured circle in the blade. Surely this part number should give me the correct item. Is...

Hi Andy. The key's fixed to the key rack would look better with Pan headed screws not countersink. Just my view ! Not my cup of tea but good website ! Given me some idea's for tarting mine up.

Yep those screws, usually brass and black ones, i chuck them away and use decent ones. Today it was Why is Howdens alway's out of stock of the items i need their and then to finish off a job ! And why was the underground pipe not in the trench i spent 1 Hr digging where it was supposed to be...
