Thanks Breezer. The new spots are a bit on the small side so I don't have enough room to keep the existing fitting, and a round junction box won't fit through the hole in the plasterboard. Is there a slimmer fitting that would do the same job as the junction box, would a choc box fitting...

I've just bought a new spot light to replace a loop in pendent. The spot has L N and E. Whats the best way to connect the switch cable? Is there a bit I can buy that replaces the loop in fixture?

Thats strange, it did have five letters when I posted :? It started with an a and rhymed with Marcey. i've been edited for being too rude :oops:

Some of this stuff seems to appear in the HowTo section of DIYnot. Would this be a better place to try and get this type of info stored, and leave the forum for more problematic questions? There are some switched on (get it?) contributors to the forum that could quickly amass quite an...

If your holes are too big then you will spend a long time mixing concrete. If you have some old timber you could make some shuttering to form a square of the right size and then backfill once its all dry. I would also suggest using a string line from the first to last post to ensure that...

Just for info ScrewFix do a disc and arbor that fits in a 115mm angle grinder that is supposed to remove paint, varnish and rust without damage.

Thanks ChrisR. They are on order!

This any good? http://www.dansdata.com/gz028.htm

sorry can't help in fixing the problem :oops: Just a bit concerned that the boiler hadn't been maintained properly. Hopefully one of plumbing experts will be able to help :)

I would have thought that the maintenance and repair of the CH would be the landlords responsibility. If you have a tenancy agreement then it will detail what you are and are not responsible for. I remember something about the requirement for a landlords certificate to detail that the gas...

I have been recommended the Honeywell CM67 (optimal start) room stat for controlling my new (but still not quite finished) UFCH. i've been told that they are intelligent devices that "learn" when they need to bring the heating on to achieve the required temp at the required time. These...

Don't quite understand what the Welsh have to do with it?

and of course we all know that builders,sparks and plumbers all use perfekt inglish :wink:

How very nice of you to say. Keep up the excellent helpful posts!

supersparks, I can't quite work out what I said that rattled your cage (or even if it was me), and quite frankly don't give a dam. Whats wrong with just saying they dont wont the work rather than put in stupid quotes and waste everyones time?

Sorry I didn't know you knew each other.

Why should they - unless they are ripping us off :evil: I recently had a new central heating system installed. One of the people who quoted was a friend of a friend of a friend etc. The price seemed a bit on the pricey side so I worked out the cost of all the parts, estimated the labour...

Must get Gold plated CU for that!

£300 - 400 Im in the wrong job :wink:

I don't think you will get many (if any) replies to your enquiry as replacing the CU and testing the installation is not considered a DIY job. Its always a good idea to know the price and the quality of the parts being used. This together with an understanding of all the composite parts may...
