Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

We were having trouble pushing it last month when it went out, but it worked after a hard push by my husband. Now, it won't reset, no matter how hard we try. Just wondering whether this is a problem easily fixed (by us) and how, or if we need to hire an electrician.

FYI, "waiting it out" is NOT an option--it's in a room w/ no windows.
I know the easy answer is, "open the wall and remove it." But HOW..? I am having difficulty finding a pro to do such a little job, and if I ask my landlords, I want to give them specific directions (so they can't spew excuses about it being too difficult or not knowing how). Thanks!

I have an old-style Potterton central heating timer (i.e. with the manual slide-along switch type thing, and clock dial). But it seems to be broken.

The clock moves round until it gets to the time that the heating is set to come on, and seems to jam there, therefore it is not turning on by itself.

Would I be able to fix/replace the timer by myself, or would it require a heating engineer, and if it needs replaced, do I need to get the same type of timer that I currently have, or could I buy a newer digital model?

Our boiler burns Kerosene.

This is a Briigs & Stratton 18hp cast iron flywheel. I have removed them before but this one is stuck tight! I have the retaining nut off, tried a gear puller to the point of fear of damage, I've heated it with the puller on, while banging it with a 2lb hammer!! Any tip or trick is welcome! I'm soaking it now with wd40. Should I try drilling out the flywheel key? Thanks in advance!!!!!

I believe the previous tenant smoked in my mom's new apartment as it reeks terribly! I had the landlord replace all the carpet and they did repaint, but I'm guessing that they didn't clean the walls first or use a sealant like Kilz because we can still smell the smoke. Will it help to clean the walls ourselves despite the new coat of paint or should we just repaint using a sealant? Anything else we should consider deodorizing that may help?

How much would it cost to have the front and back of a mid-size terrace house cavity wall ties replaced?

Also can cavity insulation be done at the same time and if so how much more will this add onto the cost?

Work is in Bristol - UK.

Thank you!
