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...

Is that a CX500 engine in your 3-wheeler, Baxlin? Two of my motorbicycles are CX`s - 650`s, though. How do you find it in the trike?

This pic was taken even higher - just over 10,000 ft..! See that conurbation just below my feet - that`s Salisbury..

I fly a paramotor.. .......and i have four motorcycles, but i`m not going to post any pictures because they`re horrible ratty old things and most users of this forum with shiny MB`s would have an apoplectic fit if they allowed their gaze to rest upon the visually offensive content within.

Blimey, there`s a lot of drama queens on here! Calm down, calm down, i already said that the leak stopped when the gas valve was closed so leaving it until today was perfectly safe. The man came out this morning and found the leak(s) and it`s all fixed now.

I have a RR Merlin piston as a side stand `foot` on one of my motorbicycles..... My wife was at the coast near Lee-on-the-Solent this week and saw the Spit flying out of Solent Airport. I was at a motorbike doo recently near Headcorn, we had a free weekend-long flying display - all day -...
