Why angry @Hippo?

There is a rechargeable LED strip thing stuck to the ceiling in the airing cupboard but it is flipping useless for lighting the bit below the shelf which is full of stuff! So I keep having to hang my torch off pipes etc so I can see what the flip I am doing! The landing light is at the wrong...

Just waiting for @kevstar to make one of his hilarious and salacious comments!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

That is exactly what I was thinking of doing. I seem to so often to be in dark places turning around and having to reverse towards "stuff"! Just wondering if there were any legalities I'd have to think about. How many of us can remember when old style Mini Coopers (and lookalikes) used to have...

Yes but it is attached to my Disco 1 300tdi! I was talking about fitting something to my Disco 2 TD5. Sounds like a good plan. I have no idea really how "flow sensing A rate" would work out but I am sure you are telling me it'll be OK. Can I just get a core/cartridge type thing or do I need to...

The trick with the original ones is to unwind the bolt, take a socket or something that fits and hammer the blasted things down onto the the terminals, then do up the bolts. Lousy design but they can be made to work.

When that happened to me it peed diesel out standing with the engine running at an autoroute tollbooth! The airflow flung it all over the underside, inside the handbrake drum and over the rear door! Easy repair though.

I stand corrected. good to know this little nugget of knowledge!

I really am thinking now that the problem is the pump, hopefully just a sticky impellor, I "sticked" it this arternoon and it was going "whst, whst, whst" instead of "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". So far too slow a speed. Also when I bled it it was the only place where blackish watter came out. I am...

Hold em on the batt terminals with a jubilee clip!

I don't think that partickler malady is much to do with old age. ;)

Having read your thing on this I am tempted to get a set and fit them all along the bumper of the Disco, white, switched via the reversing light. Thoughts anyone? ;)

What beats the poop outa me is, if it is square, how can it roll????? 🤣 🤣 🤣

I'm tempted to say, plug one end put air pressure on the other and spray the whole lot with soapy water to see where bubbles form. Or that too old skool?

Glad the gravity feed helped point you towards the real problem. ;)

We can all laugh but this nearly happened to me. Not my fault, honest guv. I had to leave my dad in my house when I went off on a course. He was supposed to get himself off out of the place and just slam the door behind him. He was in the dining room with the gas fire on. I showed him how to...

seeing as how I plumbed in everything in our house in France I'd not quite agree with this. Also I have done tons of work on both HW and CH systems in four Brit houses. BUT although one of my rules is to always put the plug in when working over a sink...... .... I forgot cos I was pooped off by...

I've been and tried to hook the lever back into its little slot and for some reason it won't stay in place. But that doesn't matter as all we ever want is for the system to be on HW and CH together. so tomoz I'll find a way of keeping it in place, clamp or summat. After that I'll be able to see...

Grundfoss Selectric.

A lot of the pipework is 22 mm going down to 15 mm I think for the tails to the rads, but not sure, can't quite remember. The house is a Swedish designed one, timber framed. W and her ex bought it brand new. It was one of the first, sort of a show house as there are three types on the estate...
