I'll run a new radial through then, I was just a bit bothered by the 5 socket spur. Cheers for the advice.

An old property that had a 'rewire' about 6 years ago. It's had a PIR from an I've just traced a circuit at a property, the ring starts upstairs one socket in each bedroom, a spur drops from bedroom 1 to the living room, another spur drops from bedroom 2 to the living room and the ring...

A clean reinstall of Office? What is it you are trying to achieve exactly? When you've unistalled office, it's wise to delete all folders relevant to the previous install. ie: delete this path C:\Program files\microsoft office, 'cos it will probably still exist after the 'uninstall' process...

Now then, Socket & See are under the Kew Technik Group Ltd, Which i believe are Kewtech? So I'm now sliding back to the Fluke or Metrel... I may wait a month and spend the extra pennies on the new Fluke or even a Megger. It's just that I'd like to get hold of my own (tester) sooner rather than...

Yeah, I am leaning toward the seperates - The Fluke is a good 'un but can be cumbersome.

I'm gonna buy, in readiness for 2391, some test equipment. I've been using a friends Fluke 1652B the past few months, I would like a Fluke but can't afford one just yet. So I've been looking at the Metrel Easitest, the Kewtech KT64 and the Socket & See 310, 360 & 380. Anyone had experience...

Thanks to you all. Much appreciated.

If I was to use twin Br and E, as opposed to Br, Bl and E. Does the switch feed still need to be identified?

What about one of these CLICK then, a step up from NEON I know, but cheap and worth having. You can also get one of these for under 30 quid... Worth having if your into poking about a bit.

Excavation in garden to expose the cable to enable jointing. I found out that the price doesn't include the excavation but i can do it myself. I think it's a bit steep though @ £955.00. Why 'not that easy'... Hole drilled and new tails to new meter location. Meter will have to be moved by...

Here's a fun one. I have a customer, who's kitchen needs turning into a bathroom, however - The main incoming electric cable, service head and meter are all located in a wooden cupboard in that room (The CU is already in another room). Now it would be rather stupid to leave it there as it's to...

Aye, true enough I suppose. I'm just trying to be clever! Thanks for the input though. Nice One.

Ha ha, I don't mean the actual shower enclosure, where the water is! i meant the shower cu (ip65 enclosure), But it doesn't matter. I've actually thought about it now.. I just need the MCB in the main CU, wired up to the seperate shower cu RCD (which will be right next to the existing CU and...

Cool, thanks for that! As there is an MCB in the 'shower enclosure' should that one be used or an additional one in the CU? Do you know what I mean? Ta.

A seperate shower enclosure, MK IP65 - 63A 30mA RCD. 50A MCB. How should this be wired correctly in regards to the existing CU (Not RCD protected). Split tails from meter or from existing CU (there is room for another MCB). I'd rather have an RCBO in there but can't find one that'll go in the...
