Thanks tony Assuming he exists is rather rude. It's supposed to be a helpful forum. Like all engineering problems the first fix may lead to another faulty component. All he was doing was trying to make sure the cost was kept to a minimum since he is a golfing friend. For the record he's ex...

Hi all I had no intention to carry out this work but was hoping you guys would be able to agree that this part was at fault before I purchase it. I have a gas engineer at the ready but he didn't like to commit to the work just in case other parts were needed. Just you guys would be able to...

Yep !! 3k but that's to cover everything like decor lighting carpets etc. Just don't want to end up with poor quality units that don't last. Surely someone has experience with decent manufactures of bedroom units

No chance !!!!!!. You have ever seen the size o my wife. Every time she moved I'd get seasick

Hi Hopefully someone will help here as i could not see a section covering my question. I am about to invest in a bedroom makeover with around 3K to spend. If i goggle bedroom furniture its amazing the amount of firms selling chest of drawers and wardrobes that. It very difficult to separate...

Hi Can anyone tell me if the timing belt of a Vauxhall Vectra Exclusive should be changed around the 70K miles range. A seller is telling me these models are fine until the 100,000 miles range because the a designed using a chain.

Hi seneca If you read my reply earlier then i have some more news for you. Our electrician at work who has just finished his 17th edition course told me that i have over done it and i could have simply wired two 4mm tails from the the output side of the cooker switch. Each 4mm cable would...

Hi Senca I have just been through all this with various comments, some useful and helpful and some definetly wrong. My oven was rated @ 3.8Kw My micro/combie was rated at 3.7kW. a 32AMP supply comes from my main board ( mcb protected ) and is connected to a 45Amp double pole switch. The output...

Thanks for the reply Yes! my supply cable is 6mm from the CU wired directly into a 45 A double pole switch. Originally i used x2 4mm cable to feed each appliance due to poor information from AEG. However i can still use these cables as a draw wire and pull through another 6mm cable from the...

Hi Again Forget the RCBO quote. This safety device is already installed at the consumer unit. What i mean is that my supply to the kitchen is 32A , protected by a 32A MCB. Each appliance (oven/microwave) is then wired to 2 seperate 16A MCB's housed in the kitchen tall unit using 4mm...

Hi Just thought i would let all the members who have given me good advice on this topic what the final install will be I now have a 32Amp mcb from the consumer board protected by an RCBO also connected at the consumer board going to the kitchen which is connected into a 45 Amp double pole...

Hi I thought if there was such a thing as a 16amp cartridge fuse it would save me installing a 16A mcb mounted in a box within the cooker housing. I was not intending to put it into a plug top. I was thinking of fusing the fused spur at 16Amp

Hi What is the biggest size of fuse (rating) you can install into an FCU. For example i was told the physical dimensions you can't get any bigger than a 13amp fuse similar to the type that fits into plug top. Is this true? Thanks

Hi Sparkwright The microwave has been delivered pre-wired with white 3 core flex. It looks like 2.5mm to me and the label is like i said 3.4 - 3.7 Kw. I feel this is not suitable for the rating of the appliance. It seems to me that they are providing this cable to connect a plug top to but why?
