In the end found a cheap damaged whole light assembly with this part included - so decided to properly fix/swap it.

https://www.tesa.com/en-gb/consumer/repairing-tapes/sugru It's water and heat resistant from -40 to 180C too. Might do a test/mock-up with blutack and if that goes will give it a go

This is interesting... but I'm thinking next time it needs replacing will I then get it out again :unsure:

Can't find what this part is called / where to source a replacement. The bulb clicks into the bulb holder fine, but the black plastic part that then holds the bulb holder is broken. Photo attached showing the opposite side that's okay for reference. Vauxhall Corsa Sting Ecoflex 2016 Petrol...

100A stickers

It's definitely marked with each fuse marked 100A individually

The board isn't securely fixed to the wall, so requested they sort this out.

Yes it sounds like we need a new supply. Thanks all for the input. I think if they try and throw the cost on us unless its reasonable (it will at least in theory be split 3 ways) then I'll have to see what I can argue about liability, but that's likely for another day. Curiously UKPN do say...

2 owner occupied and 1 rented. Fortunately at least the rented has nothing in the cupboard but their supply fuse. We get on okay with the tenants so if they end up need to pull the power sure we can co-ordinate without issue at least on that side. They seem keen to come out. Maybe I can get...

By the sounds of what they said he imagined they would simply drop us all down to 30A or 60/30/30A. Considering its been there 22 years can they really just suddenly drop our fuses by so much? I'd have no preference to a 3 phase or bigger single supply. But really feels unjust they want to...

We live if a property converted to 3 flats (~20 years ago). There is a single phase looped supply with 3 fuses 100A each (one for each flat). UKPN are sending someone out but from phone conversations they expect (looking at a photo) they will need to be downgraded to 30A each or at best...

Yes I was referring to the AD which is not technically the BRegs Part P requirement, and I appreciate the AD isn't the only way of complying with Part P; but in lieu of not complying with the Approved Documents that follows the Part P requirement, usually the alternative is to follow BS...

Indeed it should have said BS 7671 (could have swore I copied the ref from Part P - I must have mis typed). Attached is section 3.13 I was referring to. Do you know the section in the BS that relates so I can see what I need to get done. Thanks.

These works don't appear to be notifiable under Part P of the Building regulations (Part P - 2.5, 2.7, 3.1). Is the requirement for a MWC covered by BS 7671 (under Part P section 3.13 requirements) somewhere?

Are you proposing I add another connection box externally? I thought the connection between the flex and SWA could simply be made in the existing box that is inside the building - where no water should be getting in. With the SWA cable then being sealed as it passes through the wall (with the...
