I`m trying to get an idea of the cost involved in having roof work done on my house which is a typical 3-bed 1950`s semi detached. The roof is getting tired and one or two minor leaks are showing - it had a loft conversion about 30 years ago so has skilling ceilings and a dormer window up there...

Just a quickie on the servicing of a car on PCP; if the car service schedule is at 1-year intervals and you intend to hand the car back/change at the end of the 3-tear term are you obliged to pay for the third year service and then hand the car straight back? o_O

Door mirrors! That really is `fully loaded`...

If that was directed to me i can report that she is not a new driver. She has been driving for 10+ years the last five of which has been with a company car so we`re basically `starting from scratch` now with new car, insurance etc..... Looks like a Peugeot 208 is at the top of the list at the...

Hi, currently going mad doing the merry-go-round that is finding out about all the car buying options for daughter No1s new car. As if choosing the actual car isnt complicated enough..... I`m a PCP newbie and here`s the question: When the PCP period ends and you decide to chop the car in for...

^^^^^Thanks, i`ve sent a question to the seller.

I`m afraid i don`t know much about electronics, i don`t trust anything with no moving parts! Yep i realise that, but i`m not too fussed these days about the true authentic reproduction of recordings.. That`s a point, with both channels going into one mono jack - would that `double up` the...

Hi, how i listen to music has changed over the years..... I used to have a nice system (Naim/Ruark/Arcam) but due to it hardly being used i sold it. I just don`t sit down and dedicate time listening to music as i once did On the rare occasion i listen to music nowadays (the radio is always on...

That`s basically what i require but operated by a microswitch instead of a PIR. I should of made it clearer - the voltage to power the control circuit /gadget can be anything suitable, the circuit the relay will be operating will be a separate circuit and could be low voltage or mains depending...

Hi, i would like some help with what is probably a very simple electronics project - i would like to build `Gadget A` in the below image or even better is something suitable already available `off the shelf`..? What i require is an output relay to be powered for a set period of time once the...

Just as badly as a standard CX500 - which is a good result as it could have been a lot worse! Nah, it actually handles fine, with a low C of G, long wheelbase and Front Axle Reactive Trail Suspension which is adjustable for rake/trail, ride height, shock linkage ratio and preload/damping it`s...

I`ve had a £10 note in my wallet that must of been there for the last 6 months! This is partly due to the `thing` over the last year and shops insisting on card payments, i don`t mind paying for items with card exclusively but it does seem strange with minor items of a quid or so. ...and i don`t...

Have you previously owned motorcycles, Baxlin?

^^It certainly was, and still is! I prefer `Gullepumpe` which is German for `liquid manure pump` (origin: German bike magazine cartoon).. Here is one of mine, it`s slightly modified...
