OT: warranties

The unexpected time I really noticed their effectiveness, was when I wasn't even in the shop on some weekends. I'd turn the thermostat down to 8C, walked in one Sunday afternoon to pick up a few things and the shop was 10C, whilst the outside temp was around 2C.

Ping - Steve B

Seems he's getting rid of his shop and I would think any good shop would have a bandsaw, maybe even one in need of repair. In Page, Az.: http://stgeorge.craigslist.org/tls/2963950711.htmlIf you're looking for a tablesaw, also, his Delta may be worth checking out, too.

Help with toilet cistern

You can get replacement washers such as http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/d20/Toilet+Fittings/sd2835/Fluidmaster+1%2F2%22+Valve/p91486 but these seem to be manufacturer specific.
