Hi, does anyone of you fine peeps have a copy of the Ford codes? I've got the infamous V coded radio and having changed the battery now have no tunes..... Annoyingly, the code was missing when I got the van so I feel slightly grieved at the thought of giving Ford money for something I already own!!
Hi all,
A customer has recently replaced some of his 12V MR16 down-lighter bulbs with LED bulbs instead. One of the transformers (which were old) failed a month or so after he installed the new bulbs and I was asked to replace both of his existing LV transformers. They supply 4 No downlighters...

In the market for a new car music system. All my music is stored on SD cards. Are there any decent systems that take at least a 64 SD card with a good random play feature (some random plays are really not random)
Hi, I'm sorry if this seems a bit of a mess.
I've got a 2005 Rover 25 that I bought a couple of years ago. It came with a Blaupunkt Freestyler Travepilot E CD-Player which I quickly replaced but at the time I noticed that there was an extra ISO plug that I couldn't plug into the new player as...
Just replaced some kitchen light fittings with fittings that have GU10 led lamps, now when the lights are on and they are listening to Radio 4 the radio crackles! Radio is about 2 meters from lights! No dimmer involved.
Any ideas on how to fix. Just going to email Ledhut as well as that is...
Has anyone else heard the new advert along the lines of 'don't plug in too much into an extension lead it will overload the electrical socket'
Surely the 13a fuse in extension lead's plug top is to stop this very occurence??
Ok, a 13a fuse doesn't break at 13a as we all know but surely the...

Really I want a DAB radio but notice that Bosch (all my tools are Bosch) don't do one.

Hi all. I've have just bought a 2002 jeep Cherokee as a farm vehicle. The radio doesn't work. I've no equipment to test the power to the connector but what I was planning on doing is taking a live from the cigarette lighter (I don't use it) to the live on the connector. The only problem is that...
My local howdens is doing a deal if you set up an account and activate it by buying something they give you a free Milwaukee job site radio. I set the account up and then brought a tube of caulk for 75p+vat to activate it and got my radio lol.

Hi I have recently been to look at my friends newly built extension. The guy asked me about the fire alarms and how I would go about doing them as he wasn't sure . I advised that the way to meet regulation would be to take the existing Battery powered alarms down, and hard wire from an RCBO in...
Hi all.
Got called to a door entry system fault. It's a new install but I suspect the guys who did it ran the cables with no consideration to segregate from mains cables. My jaw dropped when looking at the rest of their work.
Anyway 9 appartments and an outdoor speech unit and all all handsets...
Hi all,
I have a need to transmit a switched signal over about 200mtrs, I was looking at Easy switch that TLC do and have been successful with them in the past for garden lighting projects. Has anyone used something a bit more powerful as it is going to be used to send a fault signal to a plant...
