I haven't been informed about any changes re; installation so presuming it is normal. Thank you all for your help, again very much appreciated.

Thank you!!! sorry for not posting in old thread. You have been a great help, just wanted it clarified as had mix info today....no more questions now I promise :)

Sorry I did not realise it was impolite, I only joined up a few days ago so obviously don't know the rules yet. I was only trying to clear something up regarding the kw.
