Central heating with logic combi Espi 35 boiler. When I turn the thermostat down it doesn't turn the heating down / off so I'm forced to switch the heating off at the boiler

The heating in my house for some reason is shooting up to 24-26'C It usually happens when the timer is on (set at 20'C) or when I override the thermostat, i.e. If it's at say 17 and I up it to 20. It's only just started happening. Any ideas what could be causing it?

All sorted now with the media plate and light switch. Thanks for your help.

The media faceplate is plastic. I've decided to keep as is as it's a complete faff of a fitting...Barratt homes have bonded the backing box on all 4 sides with 'No Nails' or some other strong bond by the looks of it. So will just leave the hassle and put a side unit over the sockets to cover up...

Thanks. Ok, will get a new wire. So I keep the existing earth wire in the box terminal AND add the new wire connecting the box terminal to the faceplate terminal? Or remove the existing earth wire connection and add the new wire connecting the box terminal to the faceplate terminal?

Assume it'll be ok to trim down the longest earth wire to make an offcut to use between bottom earth socket and box terminal?

Thats an additional earth wire. See picture attached please. One has been wired into both double plug sockets. The other earth wire I have wired into the backing box terminal.

So I disconnect the earth wire from the box terminal and rewire it into the switch earth terminal? Also brown wire with folded over copper, do you mean the third brown wire from the left ?

Nope, second time I've made this mistake today. However, here's a photo of the other light switch in the same room

Worked a treat, thanks. I've put the earth cable in the bottom left hand corner of the backing box into the terminal, assume that will be ok?

Hi all Any idea which cables need to go where? BG instructions are terrible. Had a go and can't get it working

Can anyone help please? I am trying to wire back this media plate into the socket. It's all colour coded on the plate, but whoever has fitted the plate has folded over half of the brown, neutral and earth wires and taken some of the sleeve off and folded the wire over. Any idea which wires need...

Hi all. Just wondered how easy it was to replace this media plate on my wall? Pre fitted by Barratt Homes when I'd moved in. Looking to change all white sockets/switches to chrome/brushed steel but not sure how easy these plates are to replace? Given the size etc. Would rather just fit a...

Definitely signs of burning etc I have heard the 'pop' a few times in the past and sometimes there's been a little smoke with burning smell to go with it

Cheers, will take a look in the morning when the lighting in the room is a bit better
