Many thanks for all of your contributions, they have taken some deciphering, but still, ultimately it has helped me come to a decision, which is all I wanted, so that

Right then, quite a few different opinions so far! Ok so back to my 2 questions,- I was talking about moving from the current cu to a new rcd enclosure, one of the lighting circuits which amongst other rooms supplies the bathroom. This circuit is the only circuit I would need to alter when...

Hello Folks, I went to look at a job today, the customer wants a shaving/vanity light installed above the sink in the bathroom. The distribution is via rewirable fuses, and not an RCD in sight. I checked the main lighting point in the bathroom, and it hasn

Ford Escort 2001 75TD, its ok for what I want it to do, mostly stuck in traffic around London, 350-400 miles per tank. Previous owner was a DNO, so racked out, roof rack, alarm etc. Cheep for parts/tyres etc. New van would be nice though, but need more work first!

I have a GRP or Glass Reinforced Plastic (fibre glass) step ladder and a GRP double extension ladder - Non conductive every time, you never know!

ok, was too slow, ignor my last reply!

Perhaps melted or damaged sleaving & insulation between live and an extranious/exposed conductive part. Sorry if you have done this, but have you tried narrowing it down by process of illimination with the main protective bonds to gas, water etc?

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this post, thanked! With ref. to the circuit design, its inconclusive, I make it 66% ok and, 33% not ok. Also thanks for the tip re the split conduit. Any more for anymore? Thanks.

Great! my example diagram i made is now available (attached to my post above). I know what you are saying about who pull the cable through, but he is 82 years old, he did say though he would work as my mate! No, it wont just be one ring for whole flat, the kitchen will be sepperate, I wil know...

This time with my attached picture (I hope) I know it sounds odd, it is odd to do it this way! but I am trying not to offend the retired spark, or at least do it his way, if it is permitted. So a JB could be counted as a socket for the purposes of amount of fused spurs allowed per ring you...

Hello, I have been asked to rewire a flat, of which the owners dad is an 82 year old retired spark. He wants to help out, to save his daughter (the owner) some money. I met him at the flat and we had a walk around, he seems to know the installation well as has worked on it over the years. He...

I kept getting the 'we are calling from BT' lot bothering me, after about 2-3 times of me saying "no thanks", they called a 4th time, (always a 0151 number). I said quickly "what ever you are trying to sell me, I am not interested" (I dont get 0151 in London calling me for estimates/work etc)...

Thanks Andy & Robin for quick response, the answer is just what I wanted to hear. I hope this helps others too. Cheers.

Hello, My question is (sorry if this seems a bit long winded) - I was called to look at an extractor fan problem installed in a bathroom. It turns out the fan is faulty, and initially I was just going to replace it, and called the client to let her know. As I was driving home I was thinking...

Surely if its a spur from a ring, then in your example, the only way to connect both fcu's would mean that it would then be a spur from a spur. So, starting with the socket connected as part of a ring, spurred to the first fcu, from first fcu on to another fcu (regardless of its proximity to...

Hello everyone, Am thinking about getting one of these Calcards, overall it seems to get ok reviews here. Are there any promotional codes available via this forum, its got to be worth asking right? Could anyone reccomend a sutiable checkbox for 17th eddition requirements? Was thinking about...

Hello, Thanks for replies so far, I need to put something on aa EIC for this property, but as you say dont know what type of fuse and rating is within, It is a 3 bed house so would assume it to be 100A, so BS1361 or 88? would the DNO know...I doubt it!?

Hello everybody, please can someone tell me what type of BS cut-out this is?? (attached pic)

Ok, so went back to the location where I got the .07 ohms reading for Ze, double checked everything, nulled leads etc., and still the same. So I called DNO (EDF) and they said its ok. Since then, today infact, I got .08 ohms, so I am not going to worry any more. Thanks to all those who...
