When working on circuit I’m even slightly dubious of I alway check voltage to earth between neutrals when disconnected to make sure it’s all dead. Had my first tingle in a few years last week when I pulled down a light fed from the house next door and that was after I ripped out the fuseboard...

Possibly screwed under 3a sticker ?

Try eBay around £3 for a 14mm deep 1/4 dr socket http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/191178178450?nav=SEARCH

How far do we go with the regs aren't retrospective, I tested a lead cable the other day which showed no signs of degradation @1000v, if that was still in service supplying socket outlets I doubt it would be rcd protected so would that be a code 3 if it wasn't reasonably expected to supply...

As theres only a peak suppl the off peak element is therefore 'spare :D, I drained down & found that i couldnt release the elements anyway, so i swopped the connections to the 'spare' off peak element as a temp measure until i can get someone to have a look at it Cheers for the advice

I will drain down then, i tested the element yesterday and had 12 ohm, but i think the insulation is breaking down when it cone upto temp. There's a spare element & stat on the tank so i will swop them over. Will i have any problems when i come to fill back up ? Cheers Graeme

Hi, i need to swop the element on an oso 20rd as it keeps tripping the rcd on my fuse board. Will i need to drain the tank down or can i just swop it over without ? Regards Graeme[/img]

Glad to have helped, not easy to go by diagrams sometimes :D

Thats true :lol:

I would wire it as follows @ upstairs switch. Red of 3 core cable to downstairs into com Yellow & red link from bathroom common into L1 blue and red upstairs switch wire into L2 @ downstairs switch Red of 3 core cable into com Yellow into L1 Blue into L2 The bare earths should be...

Hi it sounds like you have a class 2 light fitting which doesnt require an earth connection. There should be a symbol of a square within a square somewhere on the fitting to indicate this. You should terminate the earths together in a connector block but not connect them to the fitting, then...

It won't make any difference to the sensor which way round it's wired :)

Havnt fitted one of these stats but from your description I'd say 1 - L Supply in 2 - N Supply in 3 - N1 to heating cable 4 - L1 to heating cable 5 - Blank 6 - Floor Sensor probe 7 - Floor sensor probe Hope that helps, Graeme
