I picked up a new bulb socket and also what was the only thing in Wickes that looked remotely similar to the old "junction box" thingy however upon opening the top cover looks nothing alike. Also I can't figure out how to access the 4 brass grubscrews as if they're upside down. Yes I have a...

Damm I can't believe I forgot to add the photo i took before I removed it! I hope this helps!

So I've just removed a cracked lightbulb housing and didn't expect so many wires. I have a new lightbulb housing but before I fit it I want to know if I can use these wires to wire an outdoor PIR security light? The external wall is just to the right of the photo so I can run a straight line...

After a visit to the local diy merchant the job is now done and the shower working as expected. Thanks yo you all for your time and helpful guidance. @The Novice and @oldbutnotdead if that pair of speed fit flexible pipes is of any use to you then whoever pm's me their address first gets it in...

ok I understand what you mean I'm just having trouble visualising all the individual fittings and pieces! I'd rather not try and squeeze an isolating valve as there is very little space. I'm guessing I just need the below, with a length of copper pipe and some olives? what do i need to thread in...

hi there it's 15mm according to the manual.. EDIT: you got there before me (y)

hi there yes it is. I'm not sure why it's shaped the way it is, or weather i need it or not.

hi there thanks for the prompt reply it's a TRITON ENRICH WHITE 8.5KW that I got for a good price so I'm keen to keep it and instead solve this fitting issue, instead.

Hello all, I've replaced a dead Mira Zest electric shower with a similar specification Triton brand and everything is fine except for the water inlet fitting is located differently on the Triton and so the existing fittings will not reach and so I'm asking what exactly I need to buy, I've tried...

Hello all. Our back door handle needs replacing but im having a lot of trouble finding a handle that fits. I measured 120mm from screw hole to screw hole and 220mm overall length. I went down to b&q and bough a 220mm long set of handles only to find when I got home that the don't fit whatsoever!

Hopefully I picked the best sun-forum for this. We have two sun bed partitions and need a twin/duel ceiling-mountable cooling fan to fix on the ceiling between the two partitions that can be activated by the customer via remote/switch/pullcord. ideally battery run that can be recharged at...

good point, I'll just stick to looking out for SDS plus bits.

Thanks for the tips. What chuck adapter do I need for this model of drill? Can you link me to a place I can buy from, please. The 3 wood auger bits arrived this morning. 6, 12 and 25mm made by "Joran". I'm VERY impressed with the ease and accuracy these auger bits drive through wood. Amazing...

GOt hold of two SDS plus masonry bits and have been drilling through brick and buffalo horn and have been very impressed with the performance. I've got a set of Joran SDS plus auger bits on order so I'll let you all know how it poerforms through wood.
