Timer is from Toolstation, no other chain had them (at least in stock) when I looked.

Ok, so what Omega say is correct. Thanks. Lights are just 4W LED jobbies, not bright, just decorative.

Ok thanks. What do I do about the split? Is it possible to just split it colour to colour? EDIT: To clarify, there are 4 pins N - Neutral NotUsed L - Live L OUT - Live out. So it does require a neutral? I just connect the feed N to the N-Neutral pin?

So, this is in a garage, the cable will run to the light on the ceiling. The cable you questioned is the one I've run in today. What you 2 are saying is I need neutral. Can I take a spur from the light this switch ... switches? Then use the cable I've run already? The earth was existing and...

I would like to add an additional 2 outside lights to my house. I currently have a light switch that I figure I can take a spur from. Ideally I'd like 1 cable to go from a new switch (next to the current) to a splitter, to then go to 2 lights. Idea is to take live feed from original switch to...

Andy's method has worked. Yes it was a neon screw driver. All earth connected to the back box it's self, then 1 cable to the faceplate.

I currently have 2 switches controlling 1 light in my house. Off of 1 of the switches, I want to swap it out for a 2 gang switch, then feed a cable out the wall to outside for an light. This means replacing 1 of the switches with a 2 gang switch (it's currently 1). A photo of what I...

Ha, more in me doing it! Yes, gave it a good tug and wouldn't budge! So, has someone wired it wrong when installed?

It bloody works! Thanks, oven warming up no issue , nothing is tripping! Thanks so much for the help.

Yea, just moved and it does. Top right blue goes into oven curretly, it needs to go into the rcd?

Ok, so there is a thin blue cable that goes into the back of the oven one, but I can't confirm it's the one you highlighted. It goes behind the master, then looks like it isn't the same cable. Edit: yes, it is the same! Just moved it and the one you highlighted goes into the oven one. So...

Easiest but may burn my house down? Is it the right thing to do? Edit: how do you know that thin one is in the cooker one? I can't see it go in there!

Here we go! The tall one is the one labelled 'oven'.

We moved in a few weeks ago, and the plug hasn't worked since. The house was re-wired only 6-8 months ago and has never had an oven in it. No idea who the electrician was, not overly bothered above a warranty claim, just want a hot dinner! The photos above are my iPhone, believe it or not...

Brand new cooker. Yes, if I use the plug, it trips, even with the cooker off. I'll take a good photo of the wiring for the CU later on. My other halfs electrician reckons it could be as simple as the wall plate, but I doubt she explained the CU setup to him! Is it worth bypassing the...

Sorry, not the best with this stuff. Here is the consumer board. With the oven connected, turning the wall switch on trips the right trip labelled "RCD controlled circuits", but the one labelled "cooker" stays on. In this scenario, if I then turn the oven on to warm up, the oven dials...

It's an existing circuit, but no oven has been connected to it since the rewording was done. The oven wall switch also has a plug on it , if we use anything in this switch, it trips the oven circuit, not the other rcd. Strange.

A new oven has been installed, but when ever the wall socket is switched on it trips the rcd, but not the oven one. The oven remains on, the if I turn the fan oven on, it goes off, turn the oven back off and the clock displays again. The oven has its own trip, but remains on all the time...

Hi, I've got an Alpha 280p that has suddenly stopped working. Everything seems fine , but the gas matrix won't light. The lights all light up,as normal, no flashing etc, I have a pilot light and you can hear the boiler click when you turn the hot tap on. Neither the heating or hot water...

Followup: Cleaned the filter and all was well again. Strange.
