Re: What have you fixed lately?
A leak from behind our washing machine. Turned out to be the connection between the water pipe and the filler hose. All sorted.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Replaced the motor in our aging Dyson vacuum. What a pain in the backside. Will probably replace the whole lot next time. Though the saving is £25 vs £300+

New greenhouse leaking like a sieve, applied silicone to all the most obvious points, (keeping fingers crossed).

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Our remote controlled garage door. Went out this morning and it opened/closed fine but on our return it wouldn't open. A quick look at the control panel showed it was totally dead so I checked the plug fuse and when that proved to be OK decided to open up the control panel. I could immediately see the courtesy light bulb had blown and after a little searching located the little circuit fuse board fuse which had blown along with it. Luckily I had a spare so replaced that, put in a new LED bulb, closed it all back up and bingo it's now working just fine.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
My Braun shaver. It'd started making funny noises and I couldn't work out why. I took off the head and couldn't see anything inside but then noticed a tiny thin piece of black plastic on the floor. I nearly threw it away but closer inspection of the shaver head revealed it to be one of 2 tiny clips which sit under each end of the foil. Clipped it back in place and voila...

Serendipity Osem or just pure genius?

Desperation is the mother of invention in this heat.
