Yes, it's all inside. The clock module can stay in place, only the wiring to it needs to be disconnected/altered.

The 'repair' for this problem is to locate the two wires that the module connects together to turn on the oven and connect them permanently. All other wires to the clock / timer can be disconnected for ever. Then the oven will work, and the never-used clock will not.

Eaton is the manufacturer of the solenoid.

You can get VoIP service from any company offering it. Not necessary to bundle it with your broadband provider.

Patents are worthless unless you are a massive corporation with dozens of high priced lawyers in every country and £millions to spend on hunting down infringers.

Thousands of other shops you can drop off and collect parcels for multiple delivery companies, thousands of automated lockers everywhere for the same, and if you can't get to or use those, most delivery companies will collect from your home, including Royal Mail.

I suggest getting away from the post office completely, as in a few years time there won't be any post offices. They are already mostly irrelevant for a large majority of the population.

The consumer unit is from the 1990s, very likely from when the property was built. There are benefits to replacing it, as the lighting circuits do not have RCD protection. The other circuits have a single RCD for all of them, that RCD was made to a standard that was withdrawn 17 years ago, and...

Yes they can. Socket and plug in, although that rating of 1000W is highly suspect. 1000W cooking power perhaps, which would be 1600W or more input. Either way it can just plug in. May well be supplied with a plug already fitted. Yes. Or whatever existing circuit is there for the other...

Theoretically the driver could be replaced with an equivalent, you would need to get one of the same specification, as in constant current 1000mA, 24-36volts, 48 watts. However as a driver is likely to be most of the cost of a whole new panel with driver, buying a new panel would be the usual...

Yes, SWA does not need conduit or any other coverings. Yes.

It will never be there. To create 1kg of hydrogen in a PEM electrolyser requires around 60kWh of electricity. A small PEM unit of the size that might fit in a car would be a power of between 2kW and 3kW, meaning an entire day of continuous operation to create 1kg of hydrogen. That 1kg burned in...

Not repairable by someone asking how to on a DIY forum.

Microwave ovens are not repairable. They can however easily kill you if you go poking about inside. Buy a new one.

copy what BMW did over 40 years ago by making an engine which can burn hydrogen. They can now rediscover all the reasons why those vehicles were a total bust.
