Thanks for the reply flameport... Regarding the electric fire, from what rating would it need its own circuit? The wine fridge is not that small... i.e. it's the size of a normal undercounter fridge to take up to 40 bottles. I'll find out what's the model of the boiler and will let you...

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of making some changes on my living room and need some tips on 4 things: 1- I was thinking of moving my electric storage heater. Can I simply put it next to another normal socket in the room or will it need a specific socket that has its own fuseway? 2- Also, I...

Ok, I'll get a multimeter and will test then...

Just checked the connections and the bulbholder... all seems normal. Took it out and put it in again just in case. Will try tomorrow with day light and see what happens...

Hello everyone! It’s me again… after sorting out the connection problem, I’m now trying to understand what’s wrong with the bulb holder which doesn’t light up. There was a short-circuit when I first fitted the chandelier and the one bulb I had on it has blown up. Now, with all the...

Thanks a lot for your quick response, Pensdown... but I'm not sure I really got what to do with the wires... :roll: So, for the cables from the 2nd set: 1- I'll join the red (together with the one that's already there) to the connector block 2- leave the black where it is now (not...

Hi there everyone! Just joined the community... more by need than by pleasure of dim! :roll: I've recently moved and because the money is short I've ended up deciding to do all the fittings/refurbishments myself. The problem is that I wasn't expecting the electrics to be so different...
