I'm afraid all I can add to this is that each of the boxes in that photo have 2 switches on them. All 4 of these switches are currntly in the 'on' position.

I'm not sure what you mean....how can I find that out?

Thanks for the advice. I tried the 'lamp test' again this morning bright and early (dark and early) but with different results, I followed your advice and used a lamp instead of my camera charger. Nothing happened this morning, flicked on the switch and tried to turn the lamp on - nothing...

The saga continues: My off-peak electricity hours are 00:30 to 07:30 so I got up this morning around 7am to test if I was getting power from the faulty heater electricity source using my camera charger as the testing item (I fitted a standard plug socket yesterday evening). I flicked the...

Hello, I've posted another pic as requested. I've moved the card out of the way so you can see a bit more - I can't open the meter up at all because it is all wired closed (presumably this is to stop people trying to fiddle their meter readings :wink: ). I didn't get a chance to fit the...

Sadly no instructions for the meter. I'm going to do the table lamp test then get a new switch if that doesn't solve the problem (as in, if the lamp works). We actually only have three storage heaters although I think one has been removed and replaced (so, your right, there were 4 originally)...

You're right, I did mean the switch. ok, I've uploaded some pics: Pic 1 is the fuse box which is in our flat. The other two pics are from the communal basement (we live in a flat) - each flat has the two boxes (pic 3), one of which is unlabelled and the other labelled "off-peak". Each flat...

thanks riveralt I've just tested the plug and I do get continuity accross both L to L and N to N. Any other ideas?

ok, update. I did as you suggested and unwired my heater from the wall and stuck a plug on it. Hey presto, it worked! So, the heater is fine. Is it possible that the economy 7 switch/timer is actually in the wall switch or would it be hidden away in the fuse box or something? I've attached a...

Thanks to the last two posters. EFLImpudence - this is exactly the level of assitance I needed (as you can tell I'm not used to doing this sort of stuff). I wasn't trying to electricute myself and certainly wasn't trying to ignore your advice - I just wasn't always completely sure what you...
