Any ideas please? Rescued from someone elses scrap bin Density is very low at 0.48. Really feels lightweight. Some photo with any without a wipe over with white spirit to show the grain but this makes it significantly darker Thanks.

As per title really. I want to leave virginmedia which has its own phone lines so to go elsewhere, I need to get a new line fitted as well as a new provider. NOW looks good on paper and is gentle on the wallet and one of the few who will fit a phoneline free on a 12 month contract, but does...

I have a photo of an electronic module which has been annotated in Chinese and as far as I know there are the only indication of how the module is to be used. I can't cut and paste the Chinese text into an online translator because the original is a graphic image. Can any one help please Thanks...

I'm trying to help someone out who has a problem with the P/T part of a LUNA 65 combi machine. He is miles away so I can't visit even after covid restrictions lift. I could really do with a manual to try and understand how the infeed table adjustment is supposed to work so I suspect any of the...

I've realised that my will is way out of date - not been reviewed for 20 years, beneficiaries have died, my son is in his 30s not approaching teenage and no longer in need of guardians etc etc. I'm in the process of working out in my mind what I want a new will to do before contacting my...
