all done, did it my self in the end the pipes were all plastic including the strap boss, so just got new ones, they came off easily. btw, all the pipes we rotten so i replaced them all right up to the sink, they were very brittle! thanks for all the advice

what is the part called that connects the small pipe to the big pipe, as if I am going to replace the lot I only want to replace up to that point. thanks Darren

small end is coming from the bathroom sink, large pipe goes straight into the drain I believe (through the roof of the extension)

think I am going to get the whole thing replaced, guess i need to call a plumber? as the whole pipe is flaky so does not look great either! thanks for all the advice Darren

I know the basics of it and I am a very quick learner. Yes there is a line as it is a double switch, line goes L2 L1 | com com | L2 L1

The working lights are in the living room (2 lights) [light 1 had 2 cables, light 2 had 4 cables] they are both controlled by the 1 switch. The second switch does not do anything. The light in the hall (wall light under the stairs) does not work and never did, there is a small rectangle...

would it be possible to test which cables are which using a multimeter? Also, would L2 really be needed? as I thought it would be disconnected when the light is turned on as the current would go through Com->L1? I am new to all this electrics, but am doing a lot of research and trying to...

Thanks a lot, that worked perfect. there is a switch under the stairs that does nothing so I am hoping that is for the light in the hall. Thanks again Darren

no this is the only switch.
