My Mother bought a Philips Europa Washing Machine in January 1984 (Machine manufactured in 1983). It came with a moulded (Albeit pins un-sleeved) plug. The L & N plug pins were 'Hollow'. (Over time, the plug started to get warm, and eventually in 2006- yes, the machine was STILL in use then...

Happy Boxing Day! Could anybody identify this tool? Many thanks

Cheers, (As a person who has watched your YouTube videos) I thought it looked familiar.

I've been back to the shop today (But didn't buy/ask anything) and look what else I've found, 13 Amp BS1362 fuses...(No, the 'Scan for more' thing doesn't work). Also (Although I'm not a spark) I thought multi gang switches (I.E. two or more switches on the same plateswitch) were always 2 way?

Good Afternoon I didn't ask what they were for (Saying that the shop owners/workers English is quite poor) and I didn't actually buy any (The photos I've posted were taken within the shop). If I remember rightly, I think they might have been next to all the other 'Normal' (Well, normal...

I saw these a few days back in a mobile repair/hardware shop (Generally a good shop), but could anyone give an explanation on these?

I understand it's unlikely to get 'too wet', but looking at it, it appears to be a standard open-backed batten holder, so only really suitable for indoor use I'd have thought. As for impact, I've been told the bulb has been smashed at least once (It's in a small 'Village Town' in the 'Sticks'...

Sent to me by a relative, above the front door of a small Indian restaurant in Wales.

From my local, A light switch with only ONE screw visible LOL

Good Afternoon Yesterday, my Mother attempted to use her oven, but it basically didn't work at all (no heat, light or fan) and also the grill on the cooker didn't work either, BUT, the rings all worked fine. A little while later, she tried it again and it all worked fine. I also used the...

Good Evening A relative has found something that has been owned for the last 50 - 60 years, and apparently it is/was used for holding bolts in place/stop them from slipping away whilst tightening a nut to them, e.g when working on a vehicle. I have attached a few photos of the item, and also a...

Many Thanks I didn't expect this product to be very sophisticated, regarding its price, however the instructions ('Americanised' state to probe between Hot and Ground, so L & E, which is what I've done). Saying that though, isn't an actual RCD Test button resistor linked between L & N, so...

Good Evening, I have purchased the two pole version from Screwfix, it seems good enough for a voltage tester which is all I needed it for, but would like to know how the RCD Test works, is it via a high value resistor like an RCD Test button between L&N, therefore only checking the mechanical...

Cheers Chivers67, the catenary wire job is what a chap down the road from me is doing, and he is running a Network cable along it (his man cave already has a mains power supply supplied underground). My twin and earth query is in my own house, all indoor work, I need to re-route it but want to...

Thanks so far for the replies. Chivers67, the second photo you have given is one of the videos watched, although in the photo you can't see if the wall plate is hook shaped or ring shaped. rsagz, looking at the kits used in the video's, I had noticed as well both wall plates were hook shaped...
