Searching for a Back Nut for Side Flush Handle

Got a broken back nut in a side flush handle. The only way I can seem to get a replacement is to pay £40+ for a whole new unit. I've tried various local suppliers but no one can help. Any suggestions about where I might get just the plastic nut?

Don't Understand Wiring for External Light

I'm replacing an external light which simply asks me to connect live,neutral and earth to it. But, instead of 3, I have 4 wires in the cable:
Yellow with a red sleeve
Blue
Red
Yellow/green striped.

Any ideas how I should attach these 4 wires to the three terminals I have?

Protect Exterior Wood While too Wet to Paint

I've sanded down some exterior wood on my porch - back to the bare wood - but now the forecast is rain every day for ever. I know I can't paint it wet but I'm concerned that it's going to get damaged by the wet while I wait for some dry weather. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could put o...
