Downlights - loft insulation around the fittings
Onoff replied to LeanTwo's topic in Electrics - Kitchen & Bathroom
The manufacturers instructions should state clearances etc. Do you have a link to what fittings? -
Only just started to read this and aren't understanding most of it the being the monkey see monkey do sort! What I do know from when I was mucking around with homemade ST panels is there can be an issue whereby the panel acts as a radiator at night. This from the CAT book I have from years ago: "The pump is positioned between the collector and pre heat cylinder after the check valve which is there to stop water from the cylinder being drawn back up at night when the panel is cold and cooling off all your nice hot water. This is most likely to happen if your pipes are large bore such as 22mm..."

I bought the DeWalt right angle drill adapter from FFX on a special and it is fanbloodytastic and then some (except it's yellow ). It was reassuringly expensive without the discount. Actually the colour is a good thing as it's pretty small. So good I then bought one for my chippy, DeWalt fanboy mate and he raves about it. I bought a near identical copy from Lidl mainly made from seemingly h.duty green plastic. Looked good / felt good. I killed it on its first outing. There are diamonds amongst the rough to be had but that wasn't one of them.

@Nickfromwales, I've decided in going to fill in the wet room corner LEVEL with a screed mix then "shave" the falls into it. Area is nom 1.5 x 1.4m. It's nom 100mm deep. Looking at that Ardex A38 you said about it's £27.33 + VAT for a 25kg bag! I have then 2.1m sq. At 100mm thick. Was going to use the screeding sand + 8 to 10mm aggregate + A38 mix laid out here: TECHNICAL.pdf Coverage: Approximately 3.2m2 at 25mm thick per 25kg unit Sound like a plan?

I'll shop anywhere & eat anything. I've been in a Waitrose ONCE in my entire life. I do insist on Shell fuel though so go to a Waitrose garage I should point out I go to Lidl at Sevenoaks as its next to the station I travel from. It's a whole world away from say Lidl at Sidcup or Dartford. No guards for a start! You just get a better class of bargain hunter looking for vfm items. Chateauneuf Du Pape is only a tenner a bottle.

I think the quote was literally meaning a hair dryer from Lidl not a Parkside multi tool from Lidl. Saying that I imagine Lidl hair dryers (Silver Crest brand?) are probably OK too. Just bought their £9.99 waffle maker and that's alright. Oddly enough I don't shop at Waitrose!

Anyone replaced the drum bearings on a wasing machine?
Onoff replied to ProDave's topic in Boffin's Corner
This I think is that referenced "no longer available" inner bearing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Genuine-Daewoo-DAE3616303100-Ball-Bearing/1651067964 -

Midland Bearings are v.helpful I find. -
Me too. Got a draw full of crap tools from Makro etc. Never use 'em. The Parkside multi tool however I have not stopped using. Plenty of grunt, nice feel and passes the drop test. Quick change would have been nice. I only got it as my original Draper multi tool had a non standard blade fitting. Top one is the Draper - weird hex fitting, lower one I think my mates MacAllister. He's now gone 18V DeWalt.

Still got 'em in Lidl!

Estate Car to carry house doors inside, flat
Onoff replied to Ferdinand's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Had a BIG barney with the missus years ago and punched a door in frustration. Even bigger row ensued! Still fuming off I went to Wickes to get a replacement. I took the front passenger seat headrest off to get the cheap sapele door in the back of the car. Driving too fast I took a sharp left hand turn and the door slid across, pinning me against the driver's window by the neck. I couldn't steer so carried on into the hedge!- 77 replies

There's a bloke over on UK Whitegoods asking the very same! Any use? https://www.partmaster.co.uk/washing-machine/dwd-g1441s/bearing/catalogue.pl?shop=daewoo&path=108198&model_ref=1264258&refine=bearing -
My chippy mate is raving about the DeWalt 18V one he's just bought. Like I always tell him, the big problem with DeWalt is that it's YELLOW!

I've knocked 7 shades out of mine. Really can't fault it. Saxton blades btw.

Parkside / Lidl £29.00 its a steal.

I stand corrected! Anyway its in Falmer which is a civil parish in the Lewes District of EAST Sussex. And it's NOT to be confused with Brighton uni please!

Geberit WALL drain like mine? If you start now there's a good chance you'll finish before me! Or indeed Geberit Clean Line?

Afternoon & welcome. Some nice country down there (my boy's at University of East Sussex).

Can't you just get your hand down there to clean the boss, brush on a good slug of solvent adhesive and push a bit of grey back down?

Page 4 here shows two variations on the terracotta stuff; solid wall and foam core: http://www.polypipe.com/sites/default/files/Terrain_Underground_Broch_July_201376.pdf Not got a clue what the bit I used was...unless I can find the offcut!
