Long story, power cuts and a water dowser.
If I had posted this when it started, it may have had the legs to match MK's fridge post. So i'll keep it short but you may get bored. Earlier this year, probably February time, I saw some damp patches on the left side outside wall of my house. Thought they would dry up but they didn't. We...- steveo

Recent DIY wins
I recently noticed the pressure gauge reading low on my combi boiler. I re-pressurized the system only to notice the pressure drop off again over the next few days. This pointed to a leak in the central heating system which could have involved ripping up newly laid floors at worst and at best...- Mad Cyril

Central heating
Can anyone out there recommend a decent local heating engineer? Got a constant drip from my boiler overflow and it's winding me up. Heating and hot water all fine. If you can pass on the name of anyone local (ss9) I would appreciate it. Cheers- Eastblack

Electric heating systems
Guys, a bit of help and advice required. I have Economy 7 and night storage heaters which are about 20 years old. They're bulky, discoloured, rubbish during the afternoon and frankly, bloody awful.

Fix your heating bill!
As Scottish Power have kindly raised their gas prices by 19% and Electricity by 10% my advice is to get on a comparison website and get a fixed tariff. I did this, this morning, saved myself £8 p/a but fixed my prices until 2014. Get on it before they wise up and pull the offers, cos you know...- MK Shrimper

Anyone know a good car garage?
It's only a minor problem, but the pocket rocket (Fiat Punto)'s heating is not working. The dial for hot/ cold air works fine, but the dial for the amount of heat (1-4) just spins round. It will need the facia to come off, but as I'm probably selling her soon, I could do with getting it fixed...- chadded

Random pipe thread.
All, Need a bit of building advice - I've been bashing off (ooer) some quite revolting plasterwork that the previous owner put over two fireplaces in my house. Now on the side of one, I uncovered a copper pipe that doesn't get hot when I put the central heating on. There's no gas fire nearby...- MK Shrimper

Yet house temperature was 16 degrees, so we look at the boiler and come to the conclusion that the radiator thermostat is too low to be able to heat the house. However, this knob has...- pringlejon
