Just been asked, by a forumite who is down in Andover: Who would stock Schneider ( Merlin) NS160N / TM125D MCCB; anywhere near him. He believes the smoke has got out of theirs - and the large retail premises he`s in won`t be able to open without a replacement. I`m thinking possibly Senate? Any...

Okay. Commercial premises being rewired from scratch. A series of 5 interconnected sheds. Existing was one DNO supply point, subbed to all 5 sheds - but we`re having our own TN-C-S installed. All OUR water is alcathene; however; the water service enters the first shed in copper, and runs all...

In a commercial premises, which until today was having a grid switch array beside the main doors.... There are about 35 fluoros in the "warehouse"; and a few high- and lo- bays as well. In a couple of months, there are likely to be a dozen offices - I`m hoping they`ll go for LED flat panels -...

Here`s the scenario: A 2nd hand cask washing machine has been delivered today. It has an immersion element, to heat a tank of caustic, which is jetted around the inside of a beer keg, at a specified temperature, in order to kill and bacteria within. The uses it previously had called for the...

This may apply to other makes; but specifically: Citroen Dispatch, Renault Master, Fiat Scudo, Toyota Hiace. I found out this weekend, to my loss, that the little button in the centre of the console, that you can press to unlock the rear doors? Well - it works all the time - even when the...

I didn`t think my van insurance was up for renewal for a while - haven`t had any renewal notices yet. Then, at 6.30 on Sunday evening, some young call centre employee telephones ( they can pick their times, can`t they?) Wants to know if I`ve had my renewal quote, `cos it will be auto renewed...
