If I took a 15mm feed off the existing rad would that work, or does the whole system need to be changed to 15mm?

It's 8mm, will try closing lockshield. Assume 15mm pipe would work?

Heres the other side of the wall

Here you go, it's hooked up to an existing rad on the other side of the wall. Flow out of the existing rad goes to flow in on the new one (although I don't believe it matters hugely if hooked up backwards)

Added a new radiator to the system but its not heating up. Have bled the radiator, all fine. Pipes are hooked up to the correct flow. No leaks in valves, pipes or radiator. Pressure is fine on the boiler. Hot water & hot rads everywhere else. Valves are fully turned to on position (duh!) Taken...

Connected those back up. Looks like fuse has blown. Need to find a 3a fuse now!!

Yes, power is now off. The wire that’s still connected goes into the boiler. The one that’s one out goes to a fuse box

Accidentally pulled a cable out of my Hive central heating hub. As can be seen bottom right. Does it just go back in with the existing wires, or do they go into separate connectors?

I do have a crimping tool (somewhere) and some crimps. Thanks for the advice. Yes, the other wire is lighting

Only thing in the direction it’s going is water. It’s circa 6mm diameter

Fitted a Velux window over the weekend and there are a couple of cables running directly underneath. Cant be moved out of the way, so need to extend them. I'm fine with extending the electric cable (using a 30A junction box), but what about the earth cable - assume this cant be extended...

thanks, Jackrae that worked. I have some junction boxes to use as opposed to blocks in the ceiling.

Had my ceiling plastered, not changed any wiring. Just fitted new light switch and light unit and light wont switch off. I've tried a separate switch and a separate light unit but still no joy. Some pics below, what am I missing? henry vaughan quotes
