I have a 5 horse Briggs and stratton running an atco lawnmower. The battery had been removed when I got it.

As soon as I fitted a battery (assumed negative earth) motor not running the wire which runs to the stator via a diode heated up and started to smoke on the battery side of the diode.

The diode has 4 wires coming from it, 2 going to the stator 1 earthing on the starter body and 1 to the battery as mentioned.

I think I have a faulty diode, but not sure.

If possible I would like to replace the diode with a two wire one as the 4 wire is astonishingly expensive (£27) is this possible, and what do I connect to where.

Hi,

I would like to buy a new shower unit. A non-digital one that can run off a combi boiler.

We settled on a Grohe shower for £250 (I think Grohtherm 1000 concealed) but have now been given an Aqualisa Quartz Thermo (model QZ3111) instead as the other one was not in stock. The shop can get it for us in a couple of days.

I am not sure which is a better shower. Would anyone have any knowledge? Any helps from plumbers or people with experience of these would be great...

Thanks,
Anna

I'm getting a sofa bed from ikea and i want to buy a comforter for it and a matress pad but i have NO idea what size its closest too. Is it more of a FULL size bed or a QUEEN size bed? i would give you the link of the sofa bed i'm purchasing but it doest show on ikeas website, its only at my local ikea store. I always thought full and queen were the same, but i assumed it wasn't because they make seperate queen and full sheets. haha So yea, if you can let me know that would be great!

Is there an easy way to make your own swing-arm curtain rods? Or maybe a way to modify a similar set-up, like a plant holder that has a swing-arm?

I have some baby clothes for my son that has stains on them. They are mostly bibs (so from left on food) and a few clothing items (probably from spit up or "overflow" diapers). I also have a blanket and a crib sheet that has a few set in stains. How do I get them out? Any advice / tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I live in Nasik Maharashtra India. Nasik has a history of thunder-storms and Lightning Strikes in the start of pre-monsoons (first few rains of the season). Last month my building got hit by Lightning and the corner of the roof parapet wall was totally destroyed. In total 10 people (including 4 members of my family) of our building miraculously escaped death that day when there was a shower of rubble from the roof (6th floor) of the building.

Is there any way I / My building society can pressurise the builder and / or the town planner to erect a lightning arrestor on our building.

Our Building is of ground + 5 Floors is there any other security equipment required on such tall building. Is there any website where i can see the rules and regulations of buildings and safety procedures to be provided by the builder in case of fire, lightning or any other eventuality.

A friend gave me 2 of these things. I do not know what they are and neither does she.. She bought some bell pepper plants and apparently some of these plants were mixed in also. Please someone identify these things. Photos enclosed in links.

The order is strongest in the bathroom sink and shower drains, but occasionally comes through the kitchen drain too. The pipes are probably 40+ years old and I have no idea how long ago they were serviced. Bathroom cleaners poured down the drains help temporarily but it comes back.

My fragrant viburnum, which is a tree-form is suckering around the base. Is there any way to stop this so the tree gets all the energy and not the suckers?

A local plummer has been advertising that his competition shows up with 'plummer's cleavage' and a 'pocket donut.' They never do explain what a pocket donut is, though.

I have an old duplex 15A double breaker (Siemens) and the little metal piece that connects the 2 switches is removable, allowing each part to function as a separate breaker. I need 2 more 15A circuits in a new box and wondered if it was permissible to just remove the metal piece and use them as if they were separate breakers. I didn't see anything in Code, but just wanted to make sure before the inspection.
