Thanks for all your replies, I need to go through them. The work is spot lights in a bathroom, and moving a shaver socket. The first spot light will use the existing light fitting, with two more feeding off the same circuit. I believe the shaver socket also comes off the main light fitting.

A friend is a qualified electrician and has the 2391 Competence/Testing qualification, but is not registered with ELECSA or similar. This is because he doesn't do private work, so it's not worth the cost of joining. My question is, if he does some electrical for me, would he be able to issue a...

Hi, I have recently had a new composite front door fitted and now wish to refit the alarm sensors to the inside of the door. There is one main sensor that fits to the frame and a small magnet that fits to the door. My question is, are there any special considerations when drilling into...

Looks like I want need to re-drill, thanks guys..

I need to replace my front door Yale lock, fitted when the house was new. Unfortunately the builders put the barrel hole 50mm (from centre of hole) from the edge of the door and fitted a 40mm lock. The latch just catches the strike plate which was okay, but now it's worn it sometimes slips...

Hi, Does anyone know if you have to use Trevi boost shower head and hose or can it be replaced with a reasonable quality alternative? The official head is £36 and the hose £26. Surely all the clever stuff is in the valve unit and the shower head is just a shower head? Many Thanks Martin

Hi Johnny, I know it's been a while since the logged this post, but I would like to restore an old phone(s) and was wondering where you sourced them from. Regards Martin

Part arrived and fitted and fantastic, really hot water! :D

For the owners of a Trevi Boost shower, I contacted the manufacturer and they think the problem is with the 'Boost Cartridge'. The good new is the part is guaranteed for 5 years, so they are sending me a new one (I hope). To buy the part is £150 ouch! I will let you know if it solves the...

Hi, I installed a Trevi Boost about 4 years ago and it's ben fine, but recently it's been running cold, even with the temp. on max. I'll admit that it was never steaming hot, but it did the job, but now it's just tepid. Any ideas?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there has the restore disks (or can create them) for A sony Vaio VGN-BX294VP. I had a problem where XP wouldn't start and I ended up having to restore XP from a standard disk. However, now I can get back in the system, I would like to try and restore the...

Thanks, I haven't got as far as taking the panels off yet, do you know if the element is accessed from the rear or underneath? Regards Martin.

Hi, My Zanussi dishwasher is not heating the water or drying, otherwise it seems to go through the cycle as normal. I have found some hits referring to the PCB, (not on this site), but wondered if anyone had anymore information, or has had the same problem. Regards Martin

Yes I think that's worth a try, maybe Argos so I can take it back if it doesn't work. It's strange that the separate freeview box that I used with the old TV worked fine with the analogue ariel , but not with freeview built into the LCD TV.

At the moment I have an old analogue ariel, which works with some of the freeview stations but others keep breaking up and freezing. (the good news is that Dave has good reception.) To anyone.... So how is a digital ariel different? and isn't the sky ariel a digital ariel?

I did try converting the socket and plugging it, but no joy. Still worth a try!

Hi, Does any one know if a redundant sky ariel can be used as a digital arial for LCD TV with freeview built in. Wolfboy

Hi, My son is going caving with the Scouts and requires a boiler suit. Any ideas where i can get one about 36inch chest? Second hand or new. Regards Wolfboy

Well, I think it will be better than the one I took out! (Which isn't saying much). Two years time, I could be doing it all again. Thanks for listening.
