Ignore last post. Realised that the positions on the new switch C L1 L2 are in different order! Swapped round and all working well. Romantic though it may seem, I much prefer having a shower under my lovely downlights. Thanks for listening. Amelia

In trouble............... Finally managed to get the old switch out. Have got the new one in place but it doesn't work. No fan or lights. Any ideas? The new switch does not have the metal piece on it but everything else the same. Old one in situ and with knob and cover removed...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Morrison and yes, I am most definitely female! Just gone through all paperwork again. No mention of transformers. I bought everything for the new fit myself - except transformers, cables and switches! I have ordered a replacement (identical) dimmer...

No not LED

Hi there I have 3 of these http://www.onlinelighting.co.uk/shop/bathroom-lighting/recessed-lights/astro-5509-vancouver-round-low-677373.html Haven't had any trouble with the lights since they were fitted. Always worked fine with barely a hum. It is purely that the push button function...

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Sorry - Problem! Now I've unscrewed the metal case (because I couldn't get the switch out) I can see that the switch was never going to simply pop out. It's way too big to come forward. See pics. The fan switch next to it is so much smaller. I can now see it's a 500w dimmer. I...

Thanks guys for your comments. I am going to make it my first New Years Day job tomorrow! If I can't get the dimmer out I guess I will have to give up and call the electrician. If I can I will order a Richmond one once I know what I want. Presumably there is some kind of label on it somewhere...

Thanks guys Does this help?

When I took the front plate off to look this morning I remember seeing Mk on the box unit. The paperwork I have found in my "bathroom" folder (yes, I save everything!) is a Richmond Grid Dimmer instruction leaflet. I did press the clips in and try to get the switch out but was worried I...

I have one of these It is a Richmond Grid Dimmer and the push button has failed and I need to replace. It has jammed, but later released, a few times lately but now wont shift so I can't switch lights on in bathroom! I have some questions......... Can I do it myself? Took the plate...

Thanks for all your comments. Very helpful. The estate agent has agreed with our decision to not fit anything! Re Warm air I lived in the bungalow with my Mum for over 20 years and found the system to be great. Instant heat when you want it. Was no more dusty than the house I live in now...

Unfortunately this occurred following our bathroom fitting a couple of years ago. Everything is well and truly boxed and tiled in, with a lovely tiled floor and underfloor heating. :( They were a bunch of cowboy bodge artists who then went bust. We are hoping that when we get our kitchen done...

Thanks for your reply to this. We still have the problem. In the end I turned the stop cock right down under the sink to quieten things down. It means my pressure from the tap in the kitchen is low, but I can live with that - at least the loo is quiet now. The worst thing is that the outside tap...
