Many thanks to you all for advice and comments. Just to complete this message stack. Ceiling lights now completed. Solution was to add a bit of chocbloc to cover the second connection point which was two reds without a connection to the light fitting but simply being a loop-in carrying...

Hi all, Pete Maddox.....circuit is earthed as in red/black and green or earth Sideways..... getting in a sparky is an option if I can't work it out. Electrical system was last checked 12 yrs ago and was given an all clear. I'll consider having it checked again. I have just realised that the...

Yesterday, 01:41 PM I don't recall seeing that anyone mentioned this, but the NYW website is in the process of loading all 21 seasons of episodes up for viewing here: https://www.newyankee.com/watch/ Looks like they've got about 1/3 of them loaded. Good move, as people will watch and then...

No options really . dIg it out and replace. The cracks will always be a weakness in the waste pipe and likely to weep or leak. I tried epoxy on a cracked one but could not achieve any penetration of the crack worth a Damon. Hope the workers will cover the cost as mine cost £600 a couple...

regarding the planer the securing nuts for the blade can be difficult to access other than at right angles to them. If one nut is rounded over and possibly not completely consider getting a bit of mild steel and forming a spanner to fit very closely. It has worked for me in the past when the...

The best video I have seen and applied was from a guy Called Snodgrass. So google Snodgrass bandsaw set-up

Maybe consider replacing the motor with an electric drill. It has more torque and probably a speed controlling trigger. Only issue is how to link the two up

cammy9r, I wish I had called someone in as this took so long to complete. My mates in the trade though had no new ideas so it was all DIY...all 28 hrs.

First thanks to all for your ideas and tales of woe. The key to my problem was first a thorough clean. That was quite difficult and took a couple of days off and on. I bought a head light ( headband with an LED on the front. That showed up a 20mm or so deep recess with a 2.5mm screw head at...

Bodgers, Your conclusion of being from a different factory is quite wrong unfortunately. The body castings alone give the lie to that. The motor, the tiny electronics board that controls speed, the speed dial itself are all interchangeable. Consider how many models of car say Mercedes...

Just thinking about your neighbour and his lack of agreement to help. Obviously you should be as helpful and kind to him as possible BUT I think you can just tell him that you are going ahead. That he will need to find a way to seal up his side after you have finished. If he needs help then...

You can be both self employed and in a job at the same time. You simply account for the self employed items as an additional earner and can use the tax authorities calculator totals any tax due. VAT is compulsory over the £83 000 threshold below that level VAT is either a voluntary...

I'm overwhelmed by the ideas and generosity of your knowledge. I will get back to this on thursday and let you all know how it turns out. Al

Thank you all for your comments. I have wasted about 7.5 hrs on this so far and am going to ignore it for a day or so just to let the frustration recede. I guess its back to basics so clean it first through 8mm access hole. I don't like the idea that its a Torx headed allen key. I will...
