Dam wish I had your crystal ball. Yes it is foil 150mm! Where would I get the smooth 150mm ducting?

Well my project for the weekend was to install a new ceiling mounted extractor fan. Its now Sunday and its finished - only a small amount of blood loss too, and one extra hole that I didn't need. The problem is there is now a great roaring sound as the fan extracts air. The fan itself is...

Singing in the rain I am. It works!!! Tralallalla :D :D And no lights getting brighter. Many Many Thanks. Do I join those short earth wires together as they are floating free tight now? I checked all the other switches in the meantime and 7 of them have no earth wires at all! There...

I have arranged one to come and check but its next week

YAY no dimming :)

Looking into the box.... Have to get some sleep, lack off sleep and Electrics do not go well together.

The dining room switch is next to the kitchen switch in the photo The bed is right over where Id need to cut I can bet. Yes I did put a switch on those two wires and that works the dining room lights as it should albeit with the brightness.

Ok putting back to the orginal configuration in the dining room Both switches turn on the lights but the one in the kitchen makes them brighter if you go to turn them off and then pressing the switch the other way turns them off. They do not get brighter the other way round ie from the old...

Thank you :) Yes The original configuration was: Lounge Lights controlled by two switches Dining Lights controlled by two switches Taking the wall out removed one switch from each room and left me with these hanging from the ceiling. These are the switches left: oh this just...

Ok did that but the dining room switch still does nothing. I can turn both lights on from the lounge switch but nothing from the dining room switch Don't understand the 3c+E & T+E acronyms - sorry Before the wall was taken down you could switch the light on on the wall that was taken down...

The "Person" who installed the cooker point used the cooker circuit and the power circuit - I think I remember him saying both lives were used and also lighting cable had been used instead of the thicker stuff. The electrician found the thicker cable buried in the wall with a junction box...

Ok I did that (Disconnected the RedBLueYellow) and both sets of light can now be controlled by one switch in the lounge but the dining room switch does nothing.

The Tw@ was who ever wired the house in 1974! When moved in 2 years ago the kettle mysteriously blew up I mean exploded the wall socket - turned out the 30 amp from the cooker circuit had been used to power the socket next to the cooker! We had the place professionally checked after that...

Yes Pictures would help, here they are. The switches in the dining room and Lounge that are left are both wired as follows: Red = Common Blue = L1 Yellow = L2

To explain- Took a wall out that had a switch each side to control each rooms lights. Each room had another switch however the dining room switch would make the lights brighter if switched again!. From the Dining ceiling I have a 4 core (Red Yellow Blue Earth) & a 3 core (Red Black Earth)...
