Cool can I confirm see Pic is this the bit u mean? Thanks loads by the way I'll have a look online tomorrow and get the parts Thanks

Hey, It seems to be damp to dripping all the time, I think it's been like this a while but eventually went the other day. I'm not fully sure when the water is coming from its damp/wet from thread attached to the tap under the bath down the whole pipe to the floor, however when I dried it the...

Hi Looking for some advise, so we have "your repair" but its £60 a time to get them out, I had asked them to come but due to some issues thats not happening yet but thats another story but based on below I think I can fix this my self as I changed the bathroom tap with little issue, hence...

Righteo cool, thanks for clarifying, makes sense Sorry for being difficult, its been an epic one :) but thanks again for being helpful and resolving this situation Really appreciated to all Cal

Cool thanks So I'm down to getting a multi meter to check the earth wire, I'm sure I can look online for how to do this, if its earthed then go ahead as per normal fittings. If the earth wire is not earthed, then how to do I manage the earth wires for safety 1) from the cable from the ceiling...

Sorry when I mean plugged in I mean connected to the ceiling cable as per usual light fittings (sorry bare with me with the terminology) As current its not connected to the ceiling cable, I've taken the light fitting of the ceiling fully so its not connected. but when it was connected to the...

Hi, there is only one switch attached but I've never taken it of to check behind, it was weird cos when the lights plugged in, it wouldn't stay on long when I had it taken of the bracket and dangling it never went of once, usually at best it'll stay on for like 10 seconds (Its managed 30 mins...

OK cool I'll get one ordered today Ive taken the light fitting out fully and removed the earth wire from the terminal block and left it out of the ceiling so I can turn the elec on. I'll have to sort it once the device arrives If it's not earthed then I'm back to the same situation as before I...

Hey, so it's connected see photo, sorry to harp on about it. I don't have a meter tester to do this if I turn the elec on now and try it what's likely to happen I have other lights in the house which work unsure if they have an earth wire with them all to make an assumption that's its earthed...

Guessing this is right (before I put the light fitting on, does the earth wire require any more work? As it's bare?

Andy thank you, answered my question before I was just about to ask. Yup bare. I found a spare terminal block, basically fit as was before plus the two earth wires? Guessing that should go fine? Thanks Cal

yeah taken the cover of and yeah there is somet there bent back, how I missed that I don't know, and why the last owners didn't plug it in i also don't know, might be speaking too soon but ill get the elec of and try and cut it back to see what the wire colour is, still let me know how to check...

Hey thanks to all for writing back, I can only see two wires coming from my ceiling via the grey cable in the photo ( yeah sorry i didn't realize how blurry it was) however Ill take another look cos you could be right if that's the case let me check I don't know how to check its earthed...
