I'll be careful not to do that! Thanks again.

Cheers diyer56, your thread is very useful. JohnW2, I assumed it was on the lighting circuit because it is switched on a multiple switch with other lights on it. I will check that it is though, thanks! I don't have the LED lights yet, but as far as I can tell the plug is just a plug, and...

Hi, I have flouro lights under my kitchen wall cabinets that are hard wired direct to a light switch, presumably on the lighting circuit. I want to change them to LED strips, and the ones I want come supplied with a plug. I'm planning on cutting the plug out and connecting them to the...

It was the motor bearings. Changed them this morning, with a little pressure from the imminent weather... Thanks guys.

Thanks again burnerman, I'll have a look at that. And thanks snb, I'll have a look at the fuel pump too. Have a good weekend.

Thanks burnerman. Your name suggests that you're an expert on this! Can the motor bearings be replaced, or do I need a new motor/burner? Cheers.

Thanks guys that's really helpful. Yes the old fcu is up near the ceiling, and i will need to connect the rad at the bottom in order that it will heat up properly. In all honesty I was just going to run the cable down the wall behind the rad and try to hide it the best i could. Is this...

Hi, I have recently replaced my bathroom suite. In the process i removed an old bar heater that was making the place look ugly. I had the intention of replacing it with an electric towel rail from the same fused spur. It seems though that the towel rails don't have on/off switches, so is...
