    tree sap on paint.

    In my eyes, prevention is better than cure..... Just stop washing the van. That's the theory I use and there is no sap on my van.

    Fitting PIR security light

    Yeah mate, safe as houses. usually just means the whole thing is upside down. You either turn it around but have to swap everything over (i.e. wires for kitchen switch to other gang) or just do what you did ;) And yes; Common - comm L1 - 1 way L2 - 2 way Nice work buddy.

    Bg consumer unit swap issue

    Could be a number of things from neutrals being in wrong neutral bar, to shared neutrals, to leakage, to cream crackered appliances to poor connections (missing neutral connection).

    Fitting PIR security light

    How many wires / cables are at the fitting, is it just 1 x twin & earth? Did the old one switch off, or just never work? Has the inside switch been changed at any point? Cheers

    How simple domestic board changes could be with one of these.

    They register all electricity the same. i.e they measure export as import and so costs the client money to run their PV. It's a normal meter @Blue Duck just has a built in 'contractor isolator'. Should have a normal seal though, not a flag as flags aren't technically available to normal...

    Any Java Script Raphael Framework Experts?

    I believe you may be leaving out bits of info, if not, it should be pretty simple. something like function loopVideo(reps) { for (i = 0; i < reps; i++) { //play video ) } then just call loopVideo(number of times) Hmm OK, just re-read the OP, not really...
