given your internet fame I thought maybe you've seen a fair few dangerous situations. Unless I'm mistaken and you arent actually John Ward.

yes it is red. What do you think @JohnW2 - one for the scrapbook?? how does this rank in the worst youv'e seen?

the electrician that came today didnt say that, becase the seal was in tact... but the electrician that came a few years ago to install the smart meter said it had been removed. A few years before that I had a CU installed, he didn't say anything about the seal. he may have been the one that...

that where I'm thinking maybe the smart meter installer added that

maybe it was concealed just before he left the property to hide the crime?? i.e. pull the fuse, stick elec tape over it and hide it behind the wooden board

the stealing leccy makes sense. that explains what looks like soldering. I bought the house about 20 years ago from a relative, didnt get a full survey done or anything like that, before me it was being let out I had a smart meter installed a few years back and I think he must have attached the...

The jury's out as to whether this was a DIY disaster or a Pro disaster https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/electrician-uncovers-dangerous-botched-wiring-%E2%80%93-hidden-for-years-wife-blames-me-pics.637174/

I just had an isolator switch installed in my electricity supply (arranged through my supplier). About ten minutes into the job, the electrician called me downstairs to the cellar, looking absolutely shocked. "You need to see this," he said, holding up one of the supply tails he’d just removed...

The RGI was able to come almost straight away.. he did what I think you would describe as a 'full service'. When he removed the main burner thing there was a white serviceable part which crumbled to bits, so that needed replacing.. plus a gasket .. plus the electrode (picture below) He thought...

It's actually well overdue a service so I'll get someone out for a service, I'll discuss with him.. but maybe he might spot the issue whilst doing the service or fingers crossed - could be fixed by a full service as @Madrab said Will post back the outcome.

How can I make this thread interesting to get some more bites?? I'll try tagging people who seem to know what theyre talking about! @nwgs @Agile @denso13 @Madrab @dilalio @ianmcd @fixitflav @terryplumb @Nige F @Razor900

My Main Eco Elite 30 has recently started throwing a E133 error. If I reset the boiler it tends to start up again OK. I've noticed that sometimes it makes an explosion sound when igniting. The E133 is intermittent but tends to happen at least once a day. Any ideas on what the problem and...

I think he's trolling or really is that stupid
