alo brought next idea :
Mine doesn't do that, but instead the the gadget to lock the shaft to
enable you to swap cutters, fell apart. If you can be bothered, take it
back - I think they have a three year guarantee.

Steve Walker formulated the question :
I don't know if yours might be the same as mine, certainly the actual
door part is....
Mine has a control box/remote receiver combined light unit. The unit
just sends a 240v supply to the door, to make it go up or down. The
motor is what is known as a tubular one, in the centre of the door

Could the cold water pipe that you drained run alongside a pipe holding
hot water (CH or DHW)?
The cold water feed to the sink in one of our toilets runs alongside a
central heating pipe for a short distance and so the cold water in the
toilet sink runs warm for a brief period if the central heating has been

Mold - Hardwood Window Frame

We have recently moved house and unfortunately it appears that the hardwood
window frames in our bedroom have not been maintained by the previous owner.
There is black mold and sticky black staining on the frames. The windows,
however, are double-glazed and there is adequate heating and ventilation in

Hot water from outside tap

2009-11-08T11:22:47Z

Hi, thanks for the dryer advice
I have another problem. I moved an outside tap for someone and after I
shut the mains stopcock off and opened the existing outside tap and
eventually hot water came out though it wasn't under much pressure and
didn't last for long.
I notice there is no double check valve on the cold water feed to the

I have a couple of light fittings which use reflector bulbs ,R40's I
think . I recall using a R50 in one of them years ago as that was all
I had and it didn't work . I know have another lamp which also takes
SES reflector bulbs and it won't work with the one bulb I have in the
house ....I gave the others away when I changed the kitchen light

Hello..
Router recommendations for router table?
I have an Aldi router table and to go with it an Aldi router.

Re: Numpty question: screw-on connectors

You don't make it clear whether the connector you're trying to refit is a
belling lee or an F connector. Whichever one it is, have a look at the same
connector on another cable and do it like this. Saying that though, if it
fell out when you pulled it, it wasn't done properly in the first place.

Yes it's perfectly clear - we're selling you a part that we acquired
in part exchange and which we've reconditioned;-)
But the first part of your terms and conditions, suggests it's an
exception to your usual practice of selling new parts, since you
charge the full cost for new parts if an old part isn't sent in part
