Is anyone out there an expert with Dysons? I have got a Dyson DC01 hoover (like this http://www.ogormans.co.uk/images/Dyson-DC07std.JPG) , and have recently found a problem with it. Basically when you switch it on and push it round, it starts sucking and pulls things up off the carpet, but when you switch it off it seems to deposit half of what it picks up back on the carpet..

I have changed the filters and checked any obvious holes for blockage. I also pulled off any string type debris is had wrapped around the front spinny thing. I havent checked any belts etc..

Any ideas on what I can try??? Thanks

my dresser is wood and there's no finish on it, what kind of paint should i use? i painted my desk which is the same kind of wood and finish but its peeling and chipping right off. I think i used satin paint for that. Would spray paint be good?

On the back of energy saving light bulb boxes it always says that they can't be used with dimmers switches, PIR or timer switches, why?

Surely it would make more sense to use a timer at home with a lamp that is better for the environment!!

I've got a queen size bedroom set but upgraded to a king size bed (standard mattress type). I was thinking about using plywood and wood supports to set the new king size box on top of the old queen. Of course, the headboard and footboards would not be the proper size but I don't think I'll mind the 6 inch or so overhang. Has anyone tried this or seen it done? Thanks!

It's a very small room I only can fit a bed and tv in it but I hate having plan white walls, and I'd love a black and white color combo.

My boyfriend bought me an orchid as a gift, and i know they don't like too much sunlight, so i have it sitting in my living room out of direct light. But now the petals are turning brown and it looks to me like it's getting too much sun. Should i put it in my bathroom or someplace darker?

I have a Baxi combi boiler (installed just over a year ago) and it has ran fine (opperating around 1.5-2bar) up until the 1 year warranty ran out (sods law!). Now when the system is off the pressure goes right down to 0bar. When I turn the heating on it goes up to 3bar. I have checked for leaks and bends/blocks in the flexi pipes (which there aren't any) and also bled the system. When I turn the heating on (from 0bar pressure) the boiler makes cluncking sounds. Anyone have any ideas before I fork out a tonne for the plumbers? Thanks

This Craftsman garage door opener is about 6-7 years old. Recently, the wall mount unit (that opens the garage door from inside the garage) stopped working, and the little green light on the gray button that opens the door went from a solid green light to a flashing green light. The remote control openers still work and the keypad unit just outside the garage still works. No one seems to have an answer to this problem, and I would hate to pay Sears the ridiculous service repair fee to fix what may be an easy problem. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
