Lol. Six are labelled as they were when I moved in, the other two don't appear to be in use as far as I can tell. The shed appears to be wired into the kitchen sockets much for some reason that I can't ascertain - that's the mcb that turns it off but it also turns off the freezer which is pretty...

Thanks again!

Thanks all. What would supplementary bonding entail? This is all new to me as I'm sure you can tell! Is there an online resource you can point me at that a layman like me would be able to understand? Thanks, Jez

Actually just to be sure - can someone verify from the image that these are RCDs and not just mcbs please?ConsumerUnit by Detritus posted 18 Sep 2017 at 9:02 AM

Thanks very much for the replies, really appreciated!its really great that knowledgable people such as yourselves are willing to help those of us who are starting out. (y) Jez

Thanks very much (y)

Hi, Thanks for the replies! Yes I have RCDs in my consumer unit. The pump is connected via the fitted supply cable which had the standard live, neutral and earth cables - I've put a plug on this and it's connected to a socket in the siring cupboard (this is how the previous one was powered)...

hi, I've fitted a new shower pump as my old Mira one packed in. I've replaced it with a Stuart Turner Monsoon 3.0 bit have a question about the bonding. The four pipes were bonded together with earthing cable and this was then attached to a small earth screw on the bottom of the old Mira pump...

Thanks for replies. This turned out to be unrelated to the work I'd done on the shower - had a boiler engineer come round and it was a blockage in the condensate trap causing it to fail to fire up. Annoyingly timed coincidence! Thanks, Jez

Attached image is the view in the cupboard above the boiler - I assume that is the pump so are the two black things some kind of bleed valve? If so then how do they work? It's a very tight opening so I can't get in to look - could only just get my hand in with the phone to take that photo to...

Should say that I managed to clear the air lock in the cold water pipe so I just need help on venting/bleeding air from the boiler and getting it going again. Thanks, Jez

Hi, I was fitting a new shower pump a few days ago and managed to get an airlock in the cold water pipes. When trying to clear it in normal ways had failed I was told (elsewhere I should add) to run the shower and put my finger over the end of the pipe so that the pressure from the hot water...

Thanks foxhole! Is cement board / aqua panel OK to screw into for the shower fixings? Do I need to use a particular type of wall plug to screw the fittings into the aqua panel?

Thanks L95 - but what should I use instead then given all the information I've given above?
