[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 5398, member: 250"] Do your relatives do any DIY at all? is it possible someone had a quick look in the light switch before you got to site?? Was the switch wire to back-box fault a squashed wire or bare conductor exposed through nick in insulation / cut back too short?? possible squashed wire scenario e.g. bulb blows... put in new bulb... (cheepo bulb, new bulb faulty) still not working... opens up switch to look for proble... put switch back & trap or squash wire! ????? Just another possible angle to consider m8? ?:| ? :| ?:| ? :| [/QUOTE]
