    Does this quote sound ok?

    No nothing recently its all as standard. I do have a dashcam and thought that could be the culprit. But I removed it and still had the same issue. I went through removing all the fuses with the multimeter attached and still had a large current draw of around 2 amps. So maybe I missed...

    Does this quote sound ok?

    Hi all, I have an issue with my Focus draining its battery. Its had a new battery and alternator last year. The alternator is charging the battery as I've checked with a multi-meter. I've gone through all the YouTube videos to find the draw and not found it. So now I need to get an auto...

    City Fibre

    Thanks I'll check there. For those that had it installed which installation method did they use? I see their website says they may go down a utility pole or may bury it in the ground / garden. Ideally don't want it burying in the ground like virgin media do.

    City Fibre

    If you're looking at Vodafone, how do you know if its coming via City Fibre or not? I see two plans on their site Full Fibre 2 (82Mbps) and Full Fibre 100 (100Mbps) both at £24 a month. Pretty certain City Fibre operate here as I saw them digging up and got their leaflet saying it was active.

    Has anyone been in a standoff with a garage?

    Yes, alternator is only a few months old and is charging the battery. Battery is also new. I replaced it when the problem first started but still have the issue. I think there's a short or something somewhere drawing power. Update anyway I got the car back. He claimed an auto electrician had...

    Has anyone been in a standoff with a garage?

    Hi all, I've been having a bit of a nightmare with a local garage. Basically dropped it off to them over 3 weeks ago with an electrical problem (draining the battery). Didnt hear anything for 3 days so called them. Said he couldn't find the problem so had called in an auto electrician which is...

    Google Pixel 6a

    Got mine the other day and so far liking it. A nice upgrade on my old Huawei. What cases have people gone for? I can't find much that goes well with the Sage.

    Does this sound like the alternator?

    I did check that and it's still in tact and going around.

    Does this sound like the alternator?

    I have a focus 2007. For a while now it's been making a whiny noise when revving the engine. Today the noise stopped, swiftly followed by the battery light flashing then the power steering and abs light. About 5 minutes later the power steering went out. The car still starts but if I turn the...

    Cheap paint for a rented flat?

    I've heard the Goodhome paint at B&Q is quite good for the money.

    Connect modem and router via Powerline adapter

    Hi thanks for the replies. I should have been more clear in the original post. I already have a separate modem / router I can use and some powerlines adapters. I could put the modem next to the line socket and then run an ethernet to the router but trying to avoid the faff of finding a way to...

    Connect modem and router via Powerline adapter

    Hi all, I'm switching from Virgin to Sky so will be using the phone socket. Trouble is the phone socket is the baby's room. Call me paranoid but I'd rather not have a wireless router sat right next to the cot. I'm thinking of putting the modem in one room next to the socket and the wireless...

    New driveway - opinions

    I can't understand why he's done that either. When I spoke to him I got the impression he realised it was a mistake but he didn't want to say too much and fobbed me off a bit. I think I'll have another word.

    New driveway - opinions

    Hi all, I had a new blockpaved driveway installed earlier in the year. Very happy with it apart from a few snags that I've not gotten around to bringing up since we just had a baby so its not been my priority. Anyway the main snag is at the top of the drive one corner butts up to the path...

    New bay windows fitted, not sure about part of the frame?

    It would look better if it was two pieces mitred together down the middle

    Energy Suppliers

    Currently with E.on. Was hoping to move away from them as their app is useless. But the renewal standing charges of just over 7p for both gas and electric seem cheap, I can't find anything anywhere near that. edit: ignore, I see how insignificant the standing charge difference is after reading...

    Spec me some cordless diy tools

    I'd stick with Ryobi since you already have a Ryobi tool. I have many of their tools, combi drill, impact driver, jigsaw etc and like them for DIY, they've had plenty of use and not let me down. They've fitted a kitchen, boarded a loft, put up a fence and more. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita etc...

    Vertical adjustment of patio door

    Thanks yes that is exactly it. In cold weather it does catch but only very slightly. Door is south facing so in the hot weather it makes it worse. Presumably door expands slightly in the heat.

    Vertical adjustment of patio door

    Thanks I will give that a try tonight. Doors are only about 1.5 years old so hopefully all good apart from the height adjustment.

    Vertical adjustment of patio door

    Hi all, I need to adjust the door up a little as it catches the bottom. I've taken a picture of one of the hinges below. I know I unscrew the center screw. But then I'm not sure which of the top bolts will adjust the door up? Underneath there is just a pin no screw adjustment. Looked over...
