I am building my own in wall gel fireplace and would like some advice please. It is going to be a rectangle shape with 3 bean tins inserted into a concrete block which will take the Gel with fireproof pebbles around. It will be about a foot of the ground. For the surround do I brick up to make...

Thanks very much for your help, just a process of elimination.

Yes cooker Neutral is on the right side. Thought it might be a to low amp rcd its a wylex 30ma? I'm not certain but it might be when I have my computer on.

I had a fault recently where when I switched the landing light or switched oven on the rcd would trip, I fixed that, there was a fault in the lighting wiring. Everything was fine until I took a ring main off last week, ever since when you turn the oven on or off the RCD trips, its not every time...

Yes that makes sense. I have about 4 bits of audio and TV equipment plugged in to a 8 gang spiked extension and a 4 gang elsewhere around the front room and another 8 gang spiked extension upstairs with all my computer bits plugged in. All the sockets are on one ring main upstairs and down...

Yes he swapped the neautrals over and I have double checked everything. When he swapped it over it didn't trip. But it started again after a week or so, seems very intermitent. Over christmas we were watching a film without the cooker on and the rcd tripped for no aparent reason. And another...

I had a wylex consumer unit fitted a month a go and since then every time you turn the cooker on (sometimes) or off (all the time) it trips the RCD. The Electrician put the cooker on the non RCD side it worked for a little while then it started tripping again even though its not on that side. I...

It only trips when you switch the cooker off! Neutral is on the non RCD side.

I had a new Wylex consumer unit fitted a couple of weeks ago. After the electrician left I switched the cooker on and the RCD tripped. He came back and took it off the RCD, all was fine for a couple of days. Now when you switch the cooker off the RCD trips even though its not on the RCD side...

Bit strange though, the old pair were fine, just changed them for cosmetic reasons ie new kitchen new hoses! may be they are faulty.

Hi Fido, Yes I do.

Thanks Fido, I thought that but both the hot and cold are swollen, look like a pair of sausages. I have check valves fitted if that makes any difference.

I fitted new hoses to washing machine a couple of weeks ago and noticed the pipes have expanded! Has anyone else come across this? Have to change them as the hot is leaking at the connection to the feed at the hose end.
