Thanks everyone for your replies. The charger is wired in 6mm T&E, it's back to back with consumer unit so the cable is 2m max. It's connected to a 32A MCB, the main Switch is 30ma. Looking into EV chargers online it seems they may have to have a type B RCD (again I may be wrong) so I'm not...

Hi, I was looking for some advice regarding a mates EV charger that he had installed through a scheme when he bought the car. He called me to loosen the charger off the wall so he could sort the roughcasting that the installer had burst whilst drilling through the wall. Install seems shoddy...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. When you say disconnect the timer completely and using hive, does that mean removing the red & black from CN5 and just putting a 2 core flex between the 2 connections at CN5 and 1 & 3 to hive, and obviously pulling the plug on the timer to take it out of...

Hi, sorry it's another Hive Thread. I was thinking of getting Hive (single channel) for our Vokera boiler, we've recently moved in and the only control we have is the integral mechanical timer. The 230V mains supply isn't a problem, I was just wanting to confirm the control side of things as I'm...

What cable(s) do you have at your switch, just 1 with Brown & Blue? Did you put the bit of tape marker on the blue cable, if not that *may* be your switch wire, this would go into the L of your light,along with the Brown of the other light. The other blues would go into your N of the light...

The OP's DB was the same type a large modular/portable building company fitted as standard for many years, the din rail configuration was changed a few years ago where the plastic grid that the MCB's are seated was replaced with a metal DIN rail, the physical size of the DB was unchanged and it...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows what would cause the water to continue to run from the cistern into the toilet pan. Was asked by a friend if I knew anything, unfortunately plumbing is not my strongest point! I've attached a couple of pictures hoping someone can advise. Many Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if metal halide lamps are compatible with Son fittings. Its a 250w lamp with external ignitor, and I was looking for a white light. Thanks.

Hi, The local church had an architect in to do a report, I'm curious to see if they are actually needing attended to so would appreciate if anyone thought the following are major issues, sorry about the poor quality of images but this is how they were presented to the church. 1st one is a...

Can you try taking a board out one of the known working heaters to see if it brings the faulty one back to life?

No pics unfortunately, it was before decent camera phones were around. Can't believe how unlucky I was, I thought any upstairs conduits would have been well away from ceiling below. Fortunately I had singles in the van and managed to pull in a new loop. Very wary of drilling into concrete...

Be very careful, a few years ago I was putting a light up for a friend in a block of flats with concrete ceilings. I drilled no more than an inch into ceiling, then bang, went through a conduit carrying upstairs ring main. Not a good day :lol:

Thanks again, appreciated.

Hi again, I Was looking for a bit of further advice on the "chime" setting of this alarm please. I have set it up so the keypad beeps/chimes when the front door opens but was looking for a louder beep as the internal keypad sounder isn't very loud at all. Is there a sounder I could add to the...

Great, thanks for your help, appreciated.
