Thanks for the quick reply breezer :) Yes - that is the correct switching I was after - The 2 PIR lamps operate from 1 switch and the single non-PIR lamp operates from the other switch Thanks for your help Regards MGF Dude

Hi again I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to check out the circuit diagram below and let me know a) if it acceptable to link the common terminals in the switch in this way ? and b) If there is a better way of acheiving the same effect ? ie How would you do it ? The security...

If you don't like frogs this may not be a brilliant idea ! When I moved to this house and inherited my pond it had a net over the top - I was horrified one morning at how many frogs had got themselves tangled in the net :? :shock: Took me ages to cut them all free :( They will seemingly...

Yup - it is a NAT router :D Hope this helps

Hi You need to ensure that UPnP is enabled in your router settings. This works for most games as they are often UPnP compatible. I have no issues with CoD etc - they all worked straight out of the box - so to speak. Failing this you need to read your router manual and set up 'Port...

You might want to have a check on your ISP's web site. They usually have a set up guide for connecting a router to their servers. This should walk you through all of the required steps to enable connection. Occasionally there are some settings that need changing in the router to enable...

Hi Crafty The wall wart is the power supply for my houses osmotic damp proof course. I have no idea why it has a PAT sticker on it. I assumed it was a dated installation type sticker. HTH :D :D Cheers MGFDude

Hi again Thanks for your continuing help. I have checked the wiring - it is 6mm2 T+E all the way to both existing appliances. The house was built in 1930 and was rewired in approx 1990. The new hob has a supplied length of flex which is 2.5mm2 - as per the installation instructions...

Doh ! :oops: :roll: Look inside the oven door - I missed that bit !! 2175 W + fan 40W 240V is what it says there Edit: Cable size is a tad more difficult due to access at the moment I have measured the outer of the cable and crossed checked in the Wiki and it appears to be 6mm2...

Point taken - thank you I will be removing the oven to change the hob out - so I will check on the oven for a spec plate. The labels for hob and oven are little stick on labels I think that the MCBs and sheilds have always been like that myself - but the house had recently had a kitchen...

Hi Securespark - thanks for your reply. Yes - 8 Way CU with plug in MCBs Both circuits have the same size cable (arrowed in pic ) Current hob protected by 16A MCB Current oven protected by 32A MCB My gut feeling is that someone has inadvertantly swapped them round also ! The...

Thanks again If I understand your reply correctly - - - The circuit labelled "Hob" is likely a 30A supply (due to cable size ?) but has a 16A MCB fitted ? The circuit labelled "Oven" is a 30A supply (again due to cable size ?) and has a correct MCB of 32A ? The cables to the individual...

Thanks for the quick reply RF Lighting. The cables from the CU are (I think ) 6mm2. (for reference the outer sheath is about 16mm across the flat of the cable) The run is about 2.5M from the CU I am, as yet, unsure of the cable from the switches onwards as I have not done any work yet -...

Hi Firstly - Hello to you all. Second - Thanks for all the information that you have all posted here - I have found it very informative (and at times highly amusing... :lol:) Third one ...... I have purchased a replacement hob for the kitchen ( as you would expect!!!) and realised that...
