Just looked. Think you need to order 100 quids worth. So probably talking at least 10. Not sure you'd be able to get 4 or 5 at any builder's merchants.

Wickes at Stevenson Road the only other place I can think where you could just get them from the shop.

Can you not get stuff like that in the garden section of B&M Bargains and the like?

I’m sure the 2 top corner bits either side click off(May need a flat head screwdriver) and can dismantle it that way.

Think Fraggle is right. Never fitted one of those so not certain. The only other way I can think of is if there’s screws on the bottom grill, you can unscrew them and pop that off then there would be a couple of screws for the front panel and then tilt and lift it off. That’s how most modern storage heaters are built

whenever I build anything from ikea I normally open the screw pack on top of the page with the contents list and pair them up with the pictures before starting to ensure everything is there, don’t think I’ve ever been short but some of the screw sizes can be very similar.

Anybody know how to fix uneven gas burners? They were working fine before. I’ve taken them off to get cleaned as I normally do and now 5 of the 6 burners are uneven as fuck with half a flame, some massive flames in flames and some tiny flames in other places and one just refuses to even light.

Putting up spare beds and there was a screw that hadn’t had the screw head drilled at all - just a totally smooth Phillips head Lampoon

Luckily it was just for a popper that attaches the two beds together.

The black tops or the bit underneath too? If it's the black boys just turn them on and tap it down with a screwdriver and it should right itself. If the sliver bit is wrong turn it and it'll drop into the correct bit.
