This isn't quite an electrics question, but it relates to a sticker on some outdoor lights that we have. I am not sure where else to post this question. The lights we have are pretty common and they look like this (NOT THE ACTUAL PRODUCT WE BOUGHT, BUT OURS LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO THIS)...

Hi I've got an engineered wood oak floor, brushed and oiled finish. There are various marks where coffee / red wine / god knows what has been spilled on it and not cleaned up quickly enough. If I rub and rub at these marks they pretty much come off but it leaves a patch that is lighter than the...

Hi, I have a 06 plate vauxhall zafira 1.6 club. It's done 98k miles. I haven't had it long but the coolant is like grey sludge (which I know is a blown head gasket as oil is getting into the water). But before I bought it, the car had been sitting for a good 6 months. So I cleaned the coolant...

I have used lengths of untreated softwood timber (9" x 2") to make a small decked area and a step up to said area. All timber is sat on concrete blocks (not soil or grass) and is raised around 10" off the ground. Given that it rains a lot in this country, I have concerns over the wood rotting...

After switching my consumer unit off temporarily to check a switch, my boiler (oil WB Greenstar Heatslave ii combi, only a few months old) won't come back on. The LCD is blank and the wireless thermostat had a Fault A21 which just means it can't find its friend. Any ideas? I've checked the FCU...

Hello, I have a Worcester Heatslave 12/14 combi oil boiler which will not run. We ran out of oil back in April this year and due to the hot weather and finances have only just got round to getting the tank filled. On first starting the boiler it goes into lockout, to be expected with no oil...

I have a Grant Vortex 26, and it is losing pressure. It can be at 1 bar in the evening, and be down to 0.3 bar in the morning. When the heating is on, it holds pressure, but as soon as you turn on hot water somewhere in the house the pressure drops. I thought the two systems were separate, but...
