Nute Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 We don’t tend to have basements here, they always bloody leak. Older houses might have cellars, often where the coal was poured into directly off the street, but they were never designed to be dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s chipboard which is usually used in furniture as it’s usually not load bearing, there’s plywood, and there’s OSB which means Oriented Strand Board. I know...but they still call it plywood over here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Took the Dacia in for its MOT this morning, waiting for the dreaded phone call to say what the outcome is. Received a letter from hospital, MRI results, no change in the tumours size, happy with that. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 EML came on on the car today, fault code says something to do with the MAP, probably a vacuum hose off in the turbo charger circuit, the vacuum pipes are routed all over the place, made worse by bodging a TiK pipe to suit instead of getting the right one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
