Thanks! that might be another useful reason to persuade the neighbour to agree to the unlooping work.. :)

Thanks! Much appreciated - makes sense on the fuse bypass - I'll see if I can get next door to see if they have their own cut off fuse..

Could it be a 'split phase'? And if so would that mean we don't need the 'unlooping' for an EV charger?

Is the service head the cable as it goes in to the fuse? Have taken a pic from the side of that and one showing the cables into the metrer/cu.. if that doesn't work as it's quite fragmented I'll try and stitch together a set of photos tomorrow to give a better view or take out the softener so I...

Thanks, hopefully this completes the picture - is a bit cramped in there due to a water softener, shoved it to one side so I could take this, but can't get the phone far enough away to get the full setup showing.. the cables heading off to the left are going through the party wall into the...

Hi, I've looked at a lot of the threads on this and images/diagrams and they all show looped supplies being to do with the feed in before the cut out fuse.. I'm in a 50s semi and have a single feed into the house, but from what I can tell next door is fed partially from the top of our main...

Thanks Razor - am getting that distinct impression from the discussions I've found on here!

Hi all, thanks again for your help! For anyone else who reads this having seen the same issue we did try a couple of things 1) Bending the pair of electrodes very slightly allowed the electrode to align at right angles to the case which allowed the ceramic to pass the small metal shoulder just...

Hi all, the GC No. is 41-315-61, I'll try and get the whole sticker uploaded so I can post that too Thanks ScottishGasMan - my gas man said the same, not sure if I'm just really unlucky.. Thanks Chris - GC No. above BoilerDetails by trevw posted 1 Apr 2022 at 5:17 PM

Hi Chris, thanks - so I may need to get my gas fitter to post this question, or would there be professional forums he might use? He's a friend so he may be willing to do this. He is the one who was talking to Glow Worm not me, I was assuming they weren't helpful because the boiler is beyond its...

Hi, we bought our boiler (GlowWorm 24HX) around 2005. When we had it serviced recently the electrode fell to bits. On getting the 'correct' replacement we found it didn't fit, the ceramic insulator around the electrode is too long and fouls on a shoulder of some kind in the heat exchanger...

Hi, I've got a salamander shower pump feeding two showers with thermostatic valves and rain shower heads. All was fine until the original shower heads died (one scaled and one split), I've tried to replace them but invariably the shower heads are made of two sections (top and bottom) that get...

Hi, I have an unpressurised central heating system (Underfloor heating up and downstairs) and recently had to replace a shower - which meant removing the hot tank. On hooking everything back up and letting things settle/re-fill (the tank feeds have isolation valves so I didn't drain the heating...

Eric, thanks for the tips! Sounds like the way to go. Do you think there would be any reluctance on the part of a newly engaged electrician? thanks Trevor
