Thanks for your help. I guess the light circuit was changed over to the R.C.D to comply with regulations?

I had a garage conversion done a few years ago and I have now noticed that the sockets on this circuit appear to be covered by a 16 Amp circuit breaker. Is this a radial circuit and if so, is there a limit to how many sockets can be connected to it?

D-line mini trunking does not come in 25mm x 16mm & it has Pvc Mini Trunking Accessories for corners ETC. D-line recommend 30mm x 15mm for 2 x 2.5mm T & E, I only need to run one cable?

Is it OK to use 16mm x 8mm D-line trunking for a mains single (spur) 2.5mm square T & E cable, the cable is O.D 10.3mm x 6mm? If so what surface mount double socket box would you suggest?

Thank you all for clearing that up for me, I will get on with the job now.

Thanks EFLImpudence I notice that under (Do I need to inform anyone?) you answer NO. I have found this thread https://www.mybuilder.com/questions/v/11251/spur-a-new-twin-socket-from-existing-socket which says otherwise. I don't know who to believe.

Could I use something like this to test the circuit before and after...

Am I as a D.I.Y person allowed to connect a spur for one extra double socket to an existing ring main socket in a bedroom? Are there any tests, like measure loop impedance or certificates required for this? Can this be done without the need of a qualified electrician? Do I need to inform anyone?

Would this work? https://www.screwfix.com/p/hive-mini-wireless-heating-hot-water-smart-thermostat-hubless/652pv#product_additional_details_container I don't want smart functions, but Screwfix seem to indicate that a Hub & APP are required for hot water programming?

I need it for hot water & heating. (I think they call it dual channel). I have had no problems with my Salus RT300RF. It is quite awkward to access the wired programmer in the small airing cupboard. Is this any good...

Is there an all in one wireless controller for a Y plan central heating system at a reasonable price? I currently have a Salus RT300RF & a Honeywell ST6400.

Thanks foxhole I have now been charging for 2 days and the led is still red, but the light works now.

I bought an Eiger bat light for my wife's car (as she does not have a boot light) a few years ago. The bat light battery was completely flat a few days ago, so I am charging it. Does the red led change to green when it is charged, if not how long should I charge it for Please.

Thanks for all your help, I have managed to get water out of it by brute force & ignorance.

I live in a bungalow where all of the radiator pipes from the radiators go up into the loft. The boiler is in the kitchen, the hot water tank is in the airing cupboard. There are 2 tanks in the loft one to supply the hot water tank, the other is expansion tank for central heating. All of the...
