Hi My next door neighbours Ssangyong failed it's mot today because the rear fog lights do not work. I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on where the fuse is for the rear fogs? We checked the fuse box under the bonnet and there is only a fuse marked up as for front fogs, and a...

A machine in work has been intermittantly stopping, and when conducting some tests today I found a voltage between neutral and earth of around 100Volts (cant be 100% on the accuracy of these values as it was late, and I didnt write them down). When I tested phase to neutral I got L1 - N...

I have just finished my wiring in the new garage, so I put the 40A mcb in the house consumer unit on, then go down the garage and switch the rcd in the garage cu on, everything fine. Then I switch the 32A mcb on for the sockets and it trips the rcd in the house. I leave the 32A mcb and the rcd...
