Recently I have been having problems with my Worcester Bosch 280RSF combi boiler. I have had the Auto Air Vent changed and also the Pressure Release Valve changed as it wasn't releasing air and the PRV was dripping constantly making the pressure in the boiler drop) but i am still getting...

I have looked at your suggested options before but felt I needed a larger number of plugs than 2, this is why a 4 gang housed inside a weatherproof box was ideal, it would also give me space to house an ac adapter for say low voltage lighting and would easily openable on sunny days to plug the...

Hi, Thanks for the response. The box is simply a weatherproof box, which houses a simple 4 gang plug that you would have in any household that would be constantly on. Are there any other alternatives around this for the same result to a fuse spur ?

Hi, I have a quick question. I am intending on installing an outdoor socket (encased in a ip rated weatherproof box) so that i can run pond equipment from it and the odd occasion a lawn mower or outdoor gardening equipment. I have seen lots of these boxes in b and q and focus etc that...

Concerning the security light, he stated a normal flex connection off the first switched socket on the diagram with the flex running about 4m max The pond electrics are probably about 10m away and will be connected useing an armoured cable to the final switch connection on the diagram...

Sorry Gary you confused me with the above and I dont mean to be a pain in the arse. The current cooker has a huge chunky cable - that goes into a connection point on the wall that leads to a cooker single cooker switch with no plugs but a neon red light. This goes striaght to the fuse board...

Gary, yes the fuse spur doesnt have anything in it at the moment and was always intended for use for the hob ignition. The hob ignition in the maual stated that it should be connected to a double pole 13amp fused spur. Is this still ok to do as you said ? Secondly the cooker is on a single...

Hi, I know these types of questions have been asked before but i couldn't find one that matched my query exactly so i thought i would ask. I have re-fitted my kitchen and now have come to installing my oven and hob. The kitchen used to have an oven connected to a 6mm cable with a 30amp fuse...
