The double tails stuffed in the main switch are nothing to do with me, i just didnt fancy  peeling that tape off to even have a peek. I was working on a different circuit. 

Whilst retro fitting a rcbo i spotted this cable. Its feeding a kitchen ring but only a dish washer and occasional sockets.  The ring tested out fine, low value  end to ends etc.  Only 1 cable has overheated, i recon it was loose or even had missed the cage in the breaker. Whats everyone elses...

A few years back, we did work all over London for BT. Any  wiring  had to be done in the next size up from the calculated values. Due to the size & amount of drops in some exchanges a 4mm ring was wired in 6mm. Yes, you could just get 2 x 6mm in a MK socket, doubt you could now

Everything is cheaply made now. The reasons 3 port valves fail often is when in hot water only mode, the motor is energised holding it in that position, so it could be held like that for 5 months easily. 

I have  re read your post and see you say you have 2 x 2 way valves. Your descriptions  and problems  are common faults/design flaws for a 3 port valve (known as a Y plan ) so how many pipes are connected  to each motorised valve and how many valves ? However your description of the wiring is...

Hi woodywoo I am working in Chesunt  on and off at the  moment  and am based not far  in Enfield. I know you have said above, but can you clarify  if you have just one, 3 port valve or two, 2 port valves (port meaning  how many pipes are attached). You may even have only one, 2 port ?. Are...

I 'adopted' the same light  after  a shop fitout  (no one  claimed it) and it was dead so i wacked on a 12v 1a wall wart and its been fine for 6 months. I have  noticed  a lot of rechargeable stuff now needs a higher charge voltage than a few  years ago. This ranges  from a Metral tester  with 6...

I think most here are missing the point that in domestic installs we generally use 'twin & earth' cable which is pvc/pvc with a bare  earth or cpc. We then oversleeve the bare parts at the terminations. In Australia i believe the 'twin & earth' also has an insulated earth (i think...

Local Facebook  buy/sell   &  area groups seem to have replaced all that stuff

Found this on the net Some information regarding TV detection technology was revealed as part of a freedom of information request made to the BBC in 2013, which included details of a search warrant. The warrant revealed that a BBC contractor had used an "optical detector" to reveal the possible...

I am sure i read from a reliable source that the Tv detector vans were a placebo. Whenever one was in an area the licence sales went up considerably.  A sparky i used to work with never had a Tv , he said he had 2 visits a year from the authorities and once they turned up with a warrant &amp...

I have had it about 14 years now. It looked similar when i swapped it with my old car , with a mate who sprays cars. I have done a lot of work on it but could never be that good at paintwork so leave that to the professionals.  By the way its a 68 Plymouth Roadrunner, 4 speed which is very rare...

Mine was different because i did have a V11. All done now

My cars mot runs out in 4 days, but exempt from today.  You cant just do nothing, once it expires  fill out  Form V112.

Without looking anything up (because i cant be bothered when its a loverly day today) i am sure the regs say one 1 outlet, doesn't matter if its a single, double or quadruple ?

And wired in Pvc.

Correct.

Many failed more than a year, but only just & to clarify all from Screwfix

I now buy a lot of kit from Screwfix because they are  2 min from me and open silly hours, however i never ever will get any led floodlight  from them. I have a pile of 20 of different brands & styles which all  failed in different ways. Am in  conversation at the mo for compo
