    Rewiring Sockets in Garage

    Andy why not? That's exactly how my shed was wired. I discussed the design and I did all the donkey work. He checked it, connected it, tested and certified. Are you really trying to tell me that a few surface mounted cables (possibly in conduit) are not inspectable? If he wires it in bell wire...

    Rewiring Sockets in Garage

    What we need for rating is the wattage of the different items - so we can establish how much current you will be using. Current through a single cable is likely to be your limiting factor. How much of this are you likely going to use at once? Does just 1 cable go to the garage - do you know...

    Can we try and keep replies in this section HELPFUL and CONSTRUCTIVE. This is specifically identified as an area for DIYers. If you don't want to help or say anything constructive then don't. The OP is asking some advice on the best way of achieving something that they can legally do. It's...

    Dangerous lifting equipment..

    I'm going to get one. Not worth crawling about on cold concrete with a trolly jack and axle stands for the money

    Any one got a Belle cement mixer with a Honda engine?

    There is a white plastic float in the bowl? Is that what you mean?

    New surgery! I do have ~60m2 of stone slabs to lay over the weekend and a concrete base to pour for an oil tank......

    Any one got a Belle cement mixer with a Honda engine?

    Thanks. To confirm - I am spraying some meths into air intake (presumably with filter off)? Am I ALSO adding some to the fuel, or only if it doesn't cure it by spraying?

    Cheers. I have brake cleaner and maybe 40 litres of meths! I do have an ultrasonic cleaner yes. I'm NOT very mechanically minded, but the bowl, jets and emulsion tube are parts of the carburettor - yes? My gut feeling is to swap it for the £20 one and then dismantle, clean and service the...

    Any one got a Belle cement mixer with a Honda engine?

    So spend £20 on the new carb and see? I've got to order the bits for the motor support that is damaged. I'm tempted to replace that too while I have the spanners out and the motor off. Have put a new plug/oil/filter on today. It would seem air goes from filter directly into carb. Unless anyone...

    Is it some kind of Yorkshire colloquialism? Dinted - as though it has been struck and deformed. With a dent.

    Any one got a Belle cement mixer with a Honda engine?

    Right - problem one sorted. The movement on the engine is due to a broken casting on the back of the gearbox. it would seem that I can replace that and the gasket for about £8! The casing marked with a red star is dinted - could that be involved in the cutting out? Could that let air in...

    @steptoe - I don't know what any of those words mean! It's a Honda GX120 if that helps!

    Any one got a Belle cement mixer with a Honda engine?

    Does the motor rock on a single bolt. I assume it shouldn't move, but then I wondered if it was self levelling when tipped an meant to happen. 2013 model via ebay for £111 but occasionally cuts out. I have a service kit coming tomorrow and going to change plug, air filter and oil. I'm told...

    Torque screwdrivers

    Do you think we will see Wago type lever or push connectors in accessories and consumer units in the future - applying a steady spring pressure and making these redundant?

    Burying Sky cable in garden

    What about suspending it overhead? You could use sky hooks. Available in all good electrical wholesalers - just ask at the counter. ;)
