Tim just as a further thing to watch out for do take care, as someone else mentioned, that your final decision is covered by all the regs. I know it gets banged on about a little too often on here about you can't do this or that, but it is something which is really coming to light now and our...

I think just for peace of mind I'd like to see more of that paint scraped away under the earth bonding point to chassis, I am aware that you may have done it very neatly :-). Even if you get continuity it could be marginal. Alan

Tim I am not sure what you ask is possible, that could be for other more experienced people to say. What I can say is that I have had the "misfortune" to use many types of ladders internally and without a doubt as soon as you talk about any type of wooden ladder with flat treads you are going...

I have recently bought a Trend airshield and despite some early misgivings about build quality (which I have aired on here), I have used it both in the workshop and this weekend outside when routing a load of far eastern ply for shelves for the workshop. I have to say it performed very well I...

Did I mention you really need to leave them 36" long so as to be able to make a 32" cut if neccesary..... :twisted: Alan

Pecker both those I linked are 13 Amp socket type. What type are you referring to please? Alan

This is an example of these anecdotes. It is totally unreasonable for a householder to know or understand the presence of an electric supply cable, most people think it's magic, a contractor who digs the ground for a living should be aware and make all necessary enquiries as to whether services...

Well I would have thought he didn't have a very good solicitor then, because safety is the responsibility of the individual to a greater extent, as is doing a risk assesment. Part of any risk assesent would be to check that the ladder is fit for purpose. Having said that it is a fairly...

When I was putting the bikes onto the towball bike carrier, I had to crawl under them to put the security pin in, when I came back out I stood up too soon and caught my head on the bottom of a sprocket and heard this popping sound followed by quite a bit of pain. Went to the quacks and he used...

OK this might be bit off the wall here. You could try putting a 100w mains light bulb in series with the transformer with a light switch in parallel with the light bulb. The sequence would be turn on Transformer whilst light switch is off i.e. bulb is on. At this point both the Tfmr and bulb...

It's not always easy coming up with the right answer is it? what to do for the best. It did occour to me afterwards that you may have had the front install "security" taped unit fitted which some companys were flogging, always seemed a bit daft if you needed to replace glass. It took me ten...

Paul I am a little unsure that I am understanding you correctly, it is dead easy to replace units in upvc windows takes 5-10 mins if you have one to hand to swap with. Perhaps you are referring to an older system? http://www.impactglazing.co.uk/technical_info.php Very informative further down...

Chris I would have thought the chances of getting the unit out intact enough to even attempt to do remedial work are slim to impossible. I don't think there is anyway to repair them economically because the whole units seal is suspect. Failure in wood frames is much more common because the unit...

I'd like to add to the Volvo support I have had a 740 for 10 years and only had to replace track rod arms (common fault apparantly) bought a new V70 in 2000 in a moment of madness and last month had to replace a brake light bulb... was thinking of writing a letter of complaint :) Always fancied...

Well that's inflation for you :) /different council maybe? have to admit it's a couple of years or so since I investigated, but still if it only comes down to when you're selling the property it's a drop in the ocean compared to what the bottom feeders are going to rip you off, let's face it who...

From recent purchases and ringing around and looking at the quality, £35-36 +vat a sheet seems to be the going rate for what is pretty good Latvian Birch ply B/BB, definately better than what I saw in my local B&Q (Bananas why can't they stack them properly) . I could have got Finninsh at the...

All you have to do is pay the "council" to come round with an infra red or somesuch device and they put it against all the relevant sealed units and say "yeah they're OK mate" £50 please. All this presuming a purchaser has an on the ball solicitor. I "think" the onus would be upon the seller to...

I don't know if there are any other shops worth visiting in the immediate area, but Classic handtools is worth a visit just to see a large collection of quality tools under one roof, in a village setting and if you spend enough you may be able to negotiate a deal on something. I mention it...

Alan said No it's as I said above, a resin based sealant, or at least that's what I was told but a small glazier (business not him) asked me the intended purpose/situation of the unit which is how he went on to explain " Ahhh ewe be wantin the resin then bhoy" or however us yokels speak in...
