Today I have been watching a bunch of people on lawnmowers going round a muddy field, battling for the title of ‘Lawn Mower Racing World Champion’.
Carnage.

How to Get the Perfect Lawn
March 28, 2011 | Gardening Tips | 1 comment
British Summer Time began yesterday. Whilst it meant that the past weekend was the shortest of the year, it also means that spring has well and truly sprung and gardening is firmly back on the agenda. Hopefully when you look out of your back door you now see not a murky and forbidding brown and off-green space, but a slightly unkempt patch brimming with possibility.
Don’t Suffer Reduction in Suction

If you’re anything like me, an unvacuumed carpet doesn’t make you feel good. Seriously. If my living room floor has bits all over it, I simply would not be able to sit down in there. I just think it’s gross. As you’d expect then, my vacuum cleaner is a highly valued appliance at my place.

We got a fantastic email toward the end of last week from one Dave Reeves, DipEE, MIET. Dave’s a customer of ours, coming to his son’s rescue when his fridge wasn’t cooling. I’ll leave you with his thorough, detailed and particularly helpful walk through on repairing the fridge.
Valves. Not Just for Plumbers!

Another day, another most requested video. We had a lot of people writing in and asking for a video on how to replace the inlet valve in a washing machine. Inlet valves tend to become damaged after a bout of cold – water can freeze inside them, causing them to crack.
A Broken Cooker Arrives…

Check out this video, friends. You’ll see that even if your cooker loks worn out, it doesn’t mean it has to be destined for the scrapheap. All it can take is a couple of fix-its, and you can have your oven looking like new again.
Looks Like New!

Think that just because your oven isn’t looking so good any more, you need to get rid of it? Trade her in for a newer model? Discard it like a used tissue? Not so, my hasty friends. There’s no reason why you can’t get an eyesore of an oven looking beautiful again. Exhibit A: this video.
Look at that. It’s that easy to replace the door on your oven, thereby restoring it to it’s rightful place as pride of the kitchen. Beautiful.
An Idiot’s Fridge

It’s cold. It’s wet. It’s grey. Got that Monday feeling? I have the perfect tonic. It’s a few years old now, but it’s a beaut. Karl Pilkington, of An Idiot Abroad and Ricky Gervais podcast fame, has a voice which seems to ooze Monday morning. In this video the subject of his ire is the fridge repair man. Alas, if only Karl had got on to his computer and done a quick Google search, we might’ve been able to help. It wasn’t to be, but at least we got this video.
A World Premiere

As promised last week, I’d like to welcome you to the world premiere (as in, it’s right here in this blog) of ‘How to replace the bearings in a washing machine‘. Early discussions about having Matt ‘blue up’ for the role were dismissed, and he decided to play it more or less straight. Anyways, it’s clearly the movie event of the year, so get the popcorn in, clear your schedule for the afternoon (it really is quite long) and enjoy.
It’s Not Just Us Making Videos

As you’ve no doubt seen, we make videos so that the people we supply parts to have a helping hand when fitting them. Sometimes the people we supply parts to make the videos themselves. We like it when this happens.
