Thanks Tivu. I'll follow this advice but not until the spring as at least all the other radiators are working. Hmm! reminds me when I changed the kitchen tap on 24 Dec a few years ago and turned the isolation valve into the wrong position and didn't check the tap before removing it. Flooded...

Long story but first plumber didn't even put in a return pipe and blamed the rest of my central heating system for the problem. I just paid him for the cost of the radiator and the thermostat. Next plumber put in a return pipe and a drain so that the radiator can be drained and then said he...

Wow! Thanks for the replies - pgh133, tivu and PaulR. Not bleeding with pump on. The system has a header tank (haven't been to check that it is full but no air in other radiators and they are all working fine). The new radiator is situated downstairs and the inlet pipe comes from upstairs and...

Hi I would like terrestial TV in 3 bedrooms. There must be an aerial somewhere as the TV in the lounge has good reception from the wall socket but no idea where it is! :-gnome. Also put in DAB aerial if needed. Could you please quote for the job. thanks

Hi -hope it is okay if I post here. I had a new radiator installed in the summer (not a replacement radiator). Two lousy plumbers later it is still not working. It has a TVR (thermostat on it). If I bleed it water comes out and no air. The problem is that it does not heat up. The inlet pipe...

Hi , Will I be able to use the TNT SAT card in an Echostar 808 (viacess 1.1) pointing at 19.1 degrees? If the above is not possible could I use a Matrix Reloaded CAM with the TNT SAT card in the Echostar?

I am using Excel 2002. There seems to be a charge for Spotmau Powersuite. I do not want to pay as the last professional software did not crack the password (luckily it was a paid for product at work)

I have encrypted an excel spreadsheet and have forgotten the password. I have tried the professional version of Passware to crack it. It ran for 17.5 hours using brute force attack but failed to crack my password. I also used a free software package (can't remember its name) but that ran...

Hi This site will tell you what stations are available where and what language they are broadcast in: http://www.lyngsat.com/. I can watch a few free to air digital French programmes but they are at 13E. I have not found any Spanish channels there. If you buy the right technomate and move...

I had a Matrix Reloaded and it had to be initialised on a free to air channel before the software was updated. So try putting your matrix reborn in your satellite receiver and go to a free channel. Then try putting it in your laptop afterwards. Good luck

Sorry forgot the honda. Narita airport shops are all being renovated. I could not find a camera shop there or even an electronics shop so did not buy anything! Glad to be back eating proper food again. This was the first holiday where I did not put on an ounce. Toyko had an earthquake of...

Thanks Swanyl, I am inspired by the photo of the dish on the bin. Will be trying it tomorrow to get French tv at 5W

Ah yes - the taxman I had forgotten about him. So nothing too large then. I think that it may be a mobile phone with a reasonable camera. Any suggestions?

Hi I've arrived in Japan at quite short notice. I thought I should look at buying opportunites and indulge. Does anyone have any views as to what I should buy? I could do with a new digital camera and a mobile phone. Any views as to what I should get in a mid price range also what other...

Yeah what is a Jack?
