You Rang? :lol:

cool, thanks for posting. well I didn't fit the sockets, in fact this is quite a new house (9-10yrs old) Westward i think, not sure, or maybe macclean?

LOL! no I did not say such a thing... Obviously It would least have to have a Live & neutral. No, I did not create Dave10's account... If your friendly with the admin, ask him or her to identify compare the login ips. :? I am really starting to belive ban-all-sheds takes pleasure in...

ok thanks, will do :D

hi - just to verify: 1 cable is no good because its already on a spur. 3 cable is no good because ts already supplying a spur. so 2 cable is what one needs to fit another socket? right?

yeah I know people are reluctant to provide advice sometimes... not because they're dicks or anything but because they don't want to see people get hurt or even dead. I got no disrespect towards ban either, I know he knows his stuff... I just wanted to see if I could do this for myself.... He...

:cry: fine

Ah, no I didn't think that at all. I know a socket needs these 3 things... live, neutral & earth. Ok if you don't want to help me, fair enough thats you decision... Mostly everytime I come here to seek advice I always get put down... I stated in my first post that I might have a go...

hey man, i'm sorry, I thought it meant total wires visible & last night I didn't notice the twin earth.

hi guys, thanks for the reply Adam, yes my single earth cable has 2 conductors. :cry:

hi, I wouldn't mind attempting to fit a outside socket however I am still a bit un-sure of few things... I know that I need to add the new socket to a existing socket... ok fair enough..so after reading through the guide, it states: That's a kick in the balls for me, I got 5 wires... x2...

You are good, I did what you said and put 1 red wire in the 2nd light. Johnny you are good too, cause I put that stray red in the first switch & walla!!! it worked, im so chuffed - thanks guys, really appreciated that you took the time to help me, without you I would not of done it...

No, the 2 switches control both lights. thanks for that, i will wire the second light like: 2 red to brown 1 black to blue hopefully this will work now, cheers for help crafty, helped me alot :)

Yes, it was wired like that - all I did was copy the old wire's. left black with red band (white dot) was connected to Live Brown right black was connected to neutral blue the red wires didnt go anywhere. and the stray black in switch 2 also went to nothing, it hasnt been stripped so...

Thanks alot crafty mate, I can try it again now. I'll let you know what happens, but after this attempt i'm gonna call the electrician if i cant do it. cheers all, it really helps me. :)
