Thanks again, the front cover/lense is white but I tried to remove the insides by removing one small screw at the top buut I met resistance from the bottom section so didn't push it. Should this part come away easily?

I have a Scantronic 500r alarm system quite old however recently I had noticed that when we walked in the No1 PIR was not picking us up.

I cannot seem to drain my domestic water system. I turn off the mains water & open up all cold taps but nothing comes out other than about a table spoon full of water. It has been suggested that I should blow the system. How would I do this? Any suggestions would be gratefully received..

Thanks Sm1thson I will try the switch. The kitchen light works so I will check that out next. I usually carry out minor electricals and I did not expect changing this fitting to be a problem. Main problem originally was that the original fitting was so old and rusted that I had to cut it off to...

Firstly I would like to address "Secure SparK" I need you like I need a hole in the head. THANKS.

Thanks but no thanks for your comments: Firstly I would have normally thought this was a straight forward change of lamp. I am NO electrician. No I did not expect anything other than it to work albeit I have never come accross the Red & Earth together before. I was only trying to illustrate...
