I have a mate with one of the above, gas oven about 7 years old. Has 4 hobs, 2nd oven/grill and main oven. Has manual spark button for lighting hobs and 2nd oven, but the main oven is/was auto spark on low burn for the first few seconds after turning oven gas control on. To light the oven...

Im not connected with the OP but guess he means something like this: http://www.ecofreak.co.uk/products/0/144/12V-DC-11W-Energy-Saving-Bulb.html

Well "primary.uk.2008" at present seems to be selling every BS1362 fuse you might want and more: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/primary-uk-2008_All-Fuses_BS1362_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ256414012QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Thats right, uve got only around 400-500 watts there maximum, so no overload even if each appliance has (and each should have) a 3amp plug fuse. You could even fit a 3amp fuse in the 3 way adapter and extension lead What and where goes bang? There may be an electrical (slight fish like)...

My take on it is: Electrically there is no distinction between your two methods. So the only real difference is do you join: i) below floorboards in two junction boxes or ii) above floorboards with one/two 30A choc(s) inside the old socket box - assuming physically you can fit...

Well I too was about to ask tryingnottobeafool to backup his comment re freeview mark 2, but it turns out their ARE vague proposals in the air (literally) to have HD freeview for the London Olympics/end of digital switchover: (Full report...

I am thinking of using foil back 12.5mm plasterboard to reduce condensation. Reading up on the subject, it seems the only way to install it is by nails/screws on vertical battens with horizontals at top and bottom. No adhesive at all is suitable? Would 38 x 25 treated sawn battens be...

I have a problem in a mate’s house. It is in what I believe is an ex-council house (?) - a “Leca Plan” mid-terrace house that seems to be built of concrete panels. The problem is one of condensation during the most recent winter months occurring at the extreme corners of property, mainly but not...

Thank you Davy Owen and Call Eds. Yes of course sleeve the bare earths. I'm just surprised at the 'fixed' colour of butt insulations. So latest rules have: phase earth neutral joints not in a junction box, but with two blue butts and one red butt in a box? Ok then, so be it. A bit...

So following this thread if I'm crimp jointing 2.5 T&E I need to use blue insulated butts? Crimp insulation colours relate to cable sizes hence their own rated currents , yes? So if I'm replacing an 'old' (frowned upon) screw terminal junction box with old cable colours, I join: red -...

Am I correct in stating the only reason dandt's proposed work is notifiable is because it is extending a kitchen ring main? In any other room he would be perfectly correct to just go ahead without notification? Incidentally I think he is correct to say that there is an awful lot of...
