    Hello, Just after a little advice. We are having a new kitchen fitted, we took down a false ceiling to reveal a mains power cable hanging loose in the cavity. Electrician contacted Western Power to pull the service fuse and re-route the cable. They have said that the cable is substandard as...

    Contacting DNO to fit isolator

    BAS, I thought it was only the DNO that's allowed to fit them? Otherwise the electrician will have to break more seals on my meter. Is this OK if it's done to fit an isolator?

    Need obsolete parts for Ideal Mexico

    Hi I'm hoping one of you may be able to point me in the right direction. We have an Ideal Mexico Super RS 40/60 boiler which needs a new burner and heat exchanger. If I can't get hold of these parts from somewhere we're looking at a totally impossible £6000 bill to replace our entire system...
