anything concrete yet?

Ah the old "rip it all out without making notes" problem.

THEN they wonder where all those wires go.

Just when will people learn to make a diagram or take a photograph before they rip stuff out, and if there are more than one wire of the same colour, then label them in some way so they know which is which.

do you know if the main switch that was broken?

Here we go again........................................

EVERYONE is a sparky.............until they realise that we do more than match up coloured wires ( as my job was explained to me the other day)......

OP  -there are a few of us in South wales - most of whom could sort it for you

So you have to match up coloured wires!    Nobody told me that....I will start charging more now,

so that's

red to brown,

black to blue
