Thanks for your replies. I will try and venture into the loft tonight and take some pics of the bits up there

Looking to change out an old alarm box to a pyronix deltabell unit I was given. Was hoping the wiring was similar, but no. Any help on how to wire this into the deltabox ? Many Thanks

Hi, Need to wire a spur for the TV to the bedroom wall. I have a live 13a spur in the loft I can use. Thing is I want to keep the fused spur and double socket out of sight behind the TV but need to be able to switch it off easily. There is a double light switch that powers the bathroom...

It's a Trianco EuroStar with a ElectroOil Sterling burner and Satronic reset button. Working away now, just the first attempt of the day it always needs resetting

Hi all, Have an oil boiler probably about 16yr old, serviced about 6 months ago. When I switch it in for the first time it never starts, always have to push the reset button then it works fine the rest of the night where the thermostat switches it off and on. Next day same thing again, reset...
