John Lewis washing machine not heating water?
Have a John Lewis washing machine JLWM1203 which is about 18 months old. Over the last couple of days washing feels very cold when I take it out the machine and I think it doesn't smell as fresh as usual - makes me think perhaps water isn't heating up in machine. Machine is a very cold part of kitchen next to outside wall…

Any ideas - Garage key lost
Well - as it says in the title, we've lost the one and only garage key we possess. It's an up and over garage door, and the key was a 'yale type key' (if you know what I mean, rather than a big chunky thing) What is my best course of action to ever get in the garage again? Is it possible to get a new lock for a garage…

Faulty new washing machine - whats my rights
Can anyone advise of rights on this situation? Brought a new washing machine 2 weeks ago, had it fitted just before the xmass holidays. The washing programmes seem to be a bit of a mix-up.

If it's a real parcel and I don't collect it when will RM return to sender? Cheers

It was unsafe, so had to be capped. Because it's been capped…

Rubbish disposal
Hello, We've just moved into a new house, and had a skip to take away the old bathroom, carpets etc. However, the skip has now gone and we've still got some rubbish to get rid of. It's not a lot ...

B & Q sale. Is it on-line as well as in store?
Hi, I'm planning to buy some internal doors and wondered if the 15 % off sale applies on-line too?

I want to buy on-line so that I can use Top Cashback and get an extra 3.5%…
