Many thanks to all those who tried to help me with this problem. I managed to trace it to a faulty ceiling rose. So, all good now.

I'll look on internet for the specific instructions. Yes it is an extension, however, this was completed 22years ago and there have been no issues since whatsoever.

sorry endecotp, you asked why type of lights; 2 X 4 lamp spotlight bars with GU10 led bulbs

Hello prenticeboy of Derry, I do have a working multi meter (someone gave it to me) but unsure how to use it.

Hello endecotp, no work done, however, the downstairs lighting circuit breaker had tripped on several occasions over a 2-3 week period. I thought perhaps that outside security lights may have been responsible due to possible ingress of water through dozed seals and...

Hi guys, the ceiling lights in our kitchen have suddenly stopped working yet the appropriate circuit breaker has not tripped and all other downstairs lights are working fine. I have tried to check the relevant wires using one of those pen type voltage testers but because there are...

I had my decking constructed around 12 years ago. It is about 1 metre off the patio with a 3.5ft balustrade surrounding and steps down to the patio.It doesn't overlook the neighbours gardens due to existing walls and hedges so i have had no complaints. The whole job was carried out by a...

I have been considering fitting a plastic back door to my home but after some research on line I'm really not confident in their ability to keep out a burglar. One salesman expounded on how long it would resits a sustained attack by a sledge hammer but he never once mentioned how secure the...

very many thanks guys for taking the trouble to respond with your advice. It's very much appreciated. I think that i'll check out the Cuprinol range and see if it'll please Mrs Zorro. David

many thanks for the information Zipper. I'll keep you informed. David

Hello Zipper, thank you for responding: the No Is 91678200/00 and the lights went sequentially left to right. I say went because when i went to check a few minutes ago it seemed to have corrected itself as the dryer was working normally. However, i would imagine that there had to be a reason for...

The four lights on the fascia of Our Zanussi TDE4224 W Tumble dryer indicating,drying,cooling,end of programme and anti-creasing are lighting one after the other when the appliance is switched on and then just continually cycle from one to the other while power is switched on. However, the...

I sincerely apologize for not having replied sooner to your last response but I had been away on company business and the issue had slipped my mind. That is because we managed to discover that the `touch type` dimmer switch controlling the lights in the living room was faulty. I replaced that...

It was the only hole in the 3 gang switch that didn't already have a wire in it. The third one is used for an outside security light.
