I've also been using a slightly lower wattage bulb which shouldn't make any difference.

Hi guys. I have a neff oven that blew a bulb and tripped the breaker. I've tried replacing the bulb twice and each time it's immediately blown the bulb and tripped the breaker again. Any ideas? Cheers[/list]

Thanks guys. Neithee ofbyou have answered the question. Its not a fibre washer, more a soft rubbber seal. The chrome pipe leading from the tap is slightly larger in diameter than the 15mm copper. The opening is slightly tapered in some way.. The copper then sits just inside the taper with the...

Thanks guys I passed an EAL Domestic Installers course in 2003 which I was assured by NIC was 2381 equivalent. I will double check with them to make sure what this means for 2382. Confusion and opinion reigns on ambiguous statements from the authorities and bodies as usual. Thanks again

2.5mm T/E from the CU to the FCU but no longer than 30m. From the FCU to the heater I have read somehwre but can't find it that heat resistant cable is necessary but I don't believe it is in the Regs so may have just been a recommendation. If that is the case then 13a T/E Flex will do the...
