Our Waeco 2-way fridge keeps our food/drink cold very nicely, but has a problem. Whenever the motor and fan goes through its regular cycle it seems to have a problem with switching off, and starts up again for 30 seconds up to a minute, several times before stopping properly. Has anybody else had this...

We currently have a problem with our vinyl floor starting to lift in the caravan. The van is a Nova which is only 7 months old. To date we have spoken to Nova who indicated that this is not a new problem and it appears as if the glue sealing the floor joints is reacting to the vinyl. Has this happened to any...

Our gas cooktop has 1 large burner and 2 smaller ones. The larger one frequently burns with a yellow oxidising flame. This annoys the chief cook as soot accumulates on the bottom of the utensil being used. Either I didn't take enough notice in science class or I am too old to remember (probably both), bu...

Is there anything better than white spirits? There is a hardware shop product called, "Mötsenböcker's Lift Off® Silicone and Acrylic Caulk and Foam Sealant Remover". No idea what is in that one. Not using it on aluminium, just masonry to floor tile.

Found a Keyboard today, that I couldn't resist. [Op-shop of course.] It is only twelve and three quarter inches wide. The numbers don't work though. Letters are larger than normal. Can any-one tell me why some of the letters would have numbers on the front of the keys ? Cheers, Sheba.

Ive got a new TEAC 24" tv mounted on to a factory fitted swivel arm. The dealer rep at hand-over said to take the TV off when travelling in case the arm broke or the TV dropped off. The TV cant drop off due to the "V" mounting of it on to the bracket, but wonder if the arm could break Sorry - d...
