Thanks for your help, greatly appreciate your time and knowledge. Have a good one!

Thanks for your responses. The oven (Zanussi Zohna7x1) is 16amp rated. The corresponding fuse in the fusebox is a 16 amp (NHXB16). From what I can see on the wire, it is embossed with 6242Y - 2x2.5+1.5mm2. Do you think this is too low rated? Ps, do you see any issue with the earth wire on show...

Hi all Please could anyone advise if the way the installer has left the protruding wire is a problem. Secondly, the oven is not flush, the box on the right protrudes slightly preventing the oven from sitting properly. Can these boxes be moved in any location, e.g. in the red areas. Does the...

Hi all Just here for assistance. The top element of my oven is not heating, though the grill element is completely fine. I have replaced the part and experience the same problem with the new element. This is the part - https://www.espares.co.uk/product/es1410051/dual-grill-element---8001650w...

Its about 3.5cm (l) and 3cm at the widest point. Its from a toilet roll holder which attaches it to the wall.

Thanks all for the suggestions, i think i will try shifting it rather than cutting. If it snaps then great!

Hi, I have a wooden post protruding from a grassy area in my garden. The wood is quite thick and very sturdy. I wish to remove it in an easy manner, without leaving a hole in the ground. I was thinking of just cutting it to a reasonable level. What would be the easiest way to cut this...

Thanks Burnerman, I will give it a go. Thanks both for your help!

Thanks for your replies. Alan, the picture needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Its good to hear that they can be swapped. It seems like a simple enough job and there is a good area to work in. Burnerman, the flexipipes only supply the bath taps. The flow there is reasonable but due...

Hi all I have been having temperature problems on my Triton shower ever since I moved in. Since taking off the bath panel, I have discovered that the hot water pipe is on the right and believe this is why we have had such a fluctuating shower. All the other taps in the house are fine...
