oops its taken a while to put finger to keyboard but i did get a electrician to look.....and ... he pointed out the earth rod. I protested that was next doors, he pointed out next doors was along a bit (in my defense, ours is in a different place from all the others in the street. )...the earth...

Well currently im on a hunt for an electrician....which round here seems not as easy as one might think. I will keep you informed when i find one. Again thanks for all taking the time to answer my questions cheers..

As a sort of aside though and to temper my obviously 1970's electrical system I trump my own with a friends "hillbilly" electrical system that is currently reducing her house to darkness by eating those low power bulbs, her supply of "proper bulbs" is fast running out!

ok so thats all a tad clearer, best find a compitant adult to check it out then...many thanks for your time and knowledge..cheers

ok thanks for that..would a new "whole box thingy" ie the fuse thing replaced by a new box thing with circuit breakers sort all that out? I don't think its all grounded to the water pipes, partly because the water pipes come up through the neighbors walk way (ope way) go up to the bathroom...

Ok the green/yellow cable at the top was put in by the central heating guys and it runs over the door and to the copper gas pipe in the meter cupboard on the floor on the opposite side of the porch. you guys throw acronym round like cows in a hurricane!..is there some web site or explanation...

I live in a row of small granite houses, the doors all open straight onto the pavement and wandering home the other day when i noticed almost all the other houses have a copper rod and wire arrangement outside the front door. Intrigued i had a look round my house and the only earthy looking...

ah ha for those who might have the same problem i have found the cure..i took the motor off and the motor apart so the middle bit that spins was in my hand. What seems to have been happening was the carbon from the brushes built up and the segment of the bit it bears on, which is segmented...

spoke too soon its at it again,this time i saw it in semi darkness and it produces quite a light show, then continues as if nothing had happened. Maybe the new brushes are sticking?....

Well seems to have fixed it and easy to do too many thanks !

thanks for that, i will change em and see. I sort of assumed the brushes wearing out would result in the motor just not working, Cheers

Bosch classixx1200 express washing machine its about 7 years old. This is quite odd, but for a few months there have been the odd pop or bang from under the counter where the machine lives when its going. It was plugged into a socket under the counter and i thought it had got wet and was arcing...

go down the tool hire shop and get a rock drill... maybe anchor the bolts in epoxy and bobs your uncle.

Your local council will have one im sure, also the planning office has lots of leaflets to read in there, including ones on objecting to planning permission.

i would say not... but if your worried go see the planning office which has leaflets on what and what doesn't need planning permission.
