Not a power shower, just straightforward basic shower. I wouldn't have thought there was a blockage as when it does work it's fine. It does seem as if something is sticking or stuck as when you turn on a tap you can hear the flow changing in the shower.

Is there anything else anyone would like to add?

Hello, suddenly no more than a dribble or nothing at all from 4 year old electric shower. However, if I turn the shower on and then turn the basin or bath tap on just for a second, the shower will come on. Happy to get a new one if needed but just wondered if there might be a fix for this. Cheers

what is the best way to tidy up the cable that went to the broken socket leaving it in place if possible?

Hello, while moving furniture I have smashed a telephone socket in a bedroom. It was left hanging on by a couple of wires so I pulled it off. I don't need a socket there so am not bothered about fixing it but I just need to tidy it up. The cable disappears off into the wall and under the...

In reply to several of the response above. It does look as if the cable could lead to a socket above the worktop, it certainly goes in that direction as far as Ican see. Also, their is a another cable under the unit that looks like it comes from the same location that is connected to a socket...

Thanks. Just noticed there's an earth terminal within the new plastic pendant housing. Does the earth need to moved from where it is in the photo above to this terminal?

'BLUE in the left connector; BROWN in the right. ' So am I going with this then? (Yes it is brown and not red).

Hello, I have removed an existing metal ceiling light fitting and just want to put in a plain plastic pendant fitting. This is how it looks. The new pendant has a single red and blue to connect. Is this something I can do myself and is it a case of connecting the new pendant to above or is...

I have bought a new oven and a flexible seal strip is provided that fixes onto the top of the outside of the oven to go between the oven and the bottom of the worktop. Unfortunately with this seal in place (it is quite thick and can't really be trimmed) the oven will just not fit flush and...

Ignore the advice of TimboTwo above then?

Eh?

Hello, I need to replace my electric oven. The old oven had a 13A plug which plugged into a socket in an adjacent unit under the counter which in turn is connected to a cooker switch on the wall. There is also a (6600W) hob that is connected directly to the cooker switch. There is a 32A cooker...
