Does anyone know why my Close Coulped toilet will not flush properly? When I press the flush lever it takes maybe 2 or 3 times before the toilet flushes fully. Usually it only takes 1 pull of the lever. Thanks, Stefan.

Can anyone explain if I can use 1.5mm rather than 1mm cable. I am wiring some halogen lights in a bedroom sealing in a daisy chain and the installation instructions say use 1mm cable. I have a load of 1.5mm cable I am trying to use up so my question is can I use the thicker 1.5mm? I...

I have to get the paint off my picture rails but they may contain lead paint (70 year old house). There are about 4 layers of paint. The paint stripping with Nitromors is taking me ages. What is the best way to so this (there may be lead paint). Thanks.

The radial circuits are just sockets (no heater/shower/cooker). I am getting this professionally installed but need to keep the price down so I am getting the parts myself. I presume the 100amp CU rating is the max total load for the all circuits added together?

I have 5 radial circuits (20amp MCB's) plus the lights (6amp MCB). Am I OK with a Volex 8 way insulated consumer unit with 100A DP isolator or must the electrical system's total amps be under 100?. Thanks.

For a double plug socket what is the difference between double pole and single pole? What is best to use in a standard household installation? Thanks, Stefan.

Is it OK to run 2 radial circuits from one space in the fuse box?

I have a socket that is wired as a spur to the consumer unit (so it is not a ring main - just one double socket). This socket has another socket connected to it as a spur. Is this OK? Thanks, Stefan.

When I wire a ring main from the consumer unit, does the ring eventually come back to the same connection in the fuse box or a unused one? Also if I wire a socket from the consumer unit with no return, can I run another socket from this first socket as a spur. Thanks, Stefan.

Is it OK to run a spur straight from the consumer unit by connecting the wiring to an already used fuse in the comsumer unit. I know I can run a spur from any socket but can I run a spur from an already used connection in the consumer unit? Thanks, Stefan.

I've tried google and found no answers. I'm trying to see if anyone has 1st hand knowledge? If you can help I need to know if a Unidare S250 contains asbestos as all web sites I've looked at do not know.

Thanks for that but that web link says it is unkown if this model contains asbestos. Any other info?

I have recently opened a Unidare S250 storage heater by mistake and removed some of the lining inside. It looks a bit like rock wool or loft insulation. Does anybody know if this model contains asbestos? Thanks, Stefan.

My dishwasher runs a cycle but has no steam/heated water. It therefore does not spin the arms as it never goes into full washing mode. Can anyone help?
