I would be really grateful for any advice on the following.
I had 1st fix done a couple of months ago and was told for bathroom extractor I just needed 3 core from light fitting and isolation loop and they could fix up extractor fan to that. I've just had 2nd fix done and they now say that because the fan I bought has no timer, it can't run on 3 core from light and the only way to turn on or off is via isolation switch (which is near the ceiling).
I have looked at the diagram and wiki entries, and my question seems very like the thread Extractor Fan Wiring in that all I want to do is to have the fan turn on when light is turned on and off when light turns off.
Is this not possible with a non timed fan? or is my electrician telling me porkies to cover the fact they haven't wired the light to fan 3 core?
Please advise and I'll give further details if I can.
Cheers
