Re: What have you fixed lately?
7 and half year old Bosch Classixx washing machine.
Replacing the bearings - just purchased a bearing set (2 bearings, 1 O ring, 8 screws) £63.25.
Just spent 5 hours dismantling the fugging thing! probably another 5 hours putting it back together.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Hopefully my computer, which has been randomly disabling it's graphics card and refusing to start until the 4th or 5th attempt (damned beep codes) . I figured it was either the memory or motherboard, so, I replaced the memory a few months back. Yesterday I went out to buy a new motherboard, started to look around and found that 2nd generation Core i5s are not supported by modern motherboards, so ended up having to buy a 4th generation Core i5 to go with the new motherboard. Then ended up having to back up my stuff, repartition the drive (the new motherboard has a full UEFI firmware, the old one had a BIOS that was supposed to emulate UEFI), then install windows.
Still, the machine does feel faster.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
My tumble drier. It wasn't heating up, had a similar problem a few years ago. and was told it was thermostat. saw a video on the espares page on how to do it for my model, ordered the parts at 9.99 now working a treat and saving me at least £30 on getting someone in to do it

Good fix. The internet's great for stuff like that - so many fixes are simple once you know what you're looking for. I manage to fix our washing machine after finding a video online which was a great help.

I just fixed the wife's favourite headphones, one earpiece of which had been trodden on and come apart. A little reconstruction with my old mate superglue and the job was done.

I hope the glue dried before she put the head phones on, otherwise you would have come unstuck!

Fixed one of the panels in the garden fence, with the help of my 2 beautiful grand kids.
