Yeah, the video is what I followed and have done before, but even though it's now connected, it still throws a com 1 fault which i can't clear without engineer access (I don't believe). The problem with the batteries (which I changed) is that it's a manufacturing fault in that particular...

Not a problem, thank you anyway! I hope your day improves. :giggle:

Ohh, i'll have a read, thank you. I am aware I should have started there, RTFM ;)

Thanks very much, unfortunately the news I expected but didn't want to hear :( I'll try my best to get the engineer to let me know the code. Is there anything else that I might need other than that as I suspect i'll only get one chance with him! I'm a bit nervous about completely defaulting...

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind with my alarm! I had a texecom premier alarm fitted a few years ago to replace an ancient alarm system in my house. Whilst the engineer I had to fit it is a good guy, he's EXTREMELY difficult to get hold of. Often working long periods away and not responding...

Hi all, I've relatively recently moved into a new house and there are two identical shower closures. Unfortunately the hinges on them have started to perish and snap. I've managed to get one enclosure working by mixing and matching parts, but now on the hunt for new hinges for the other...

Done a bit of googling. possibly called a Gland and used for earthing the armoured cable?

Hi all, A couple of quick questions i'm looking for answers to, if possible. Background - bought house 3/4 years ago, run of armoured cable along the side of the house, then underground to the garage. Had to take this off as part of having an extension built, electrician unwired from...

Hi guys, Wondering if I can have a bit of assistance. Before we go too far into it, please bear in mind, i'm just batting ideas around here and won't be doing anything without a SE/Architect/Building Control approval, no need to panic. Also, I don't want to involve them until i've got a...

Hi guys, I'm considering building a hearth for a wood burning stove at some point in the near future. There is currently a concrete hearth in the floor where the old back boiler used to be, and the rest of the floor is timber. What's the best way to construct this hearth? I was...

I have considered it, but honestly, i'd have no idea where to start!

Hi all, Does anyone know where I could obtain some internal Octagonal Windows? We're preferably after two for an internal stud wall to let some light through from one room to another.. I've only found one online stockist and the windows are a bit too large at 20" x 20" (and they were...

Just to be clear, we're just doing it for aesthetic purposes, we're the kind of couple who have lamps on all the time - barely using the main light, we just wanted to not have a pendant as we've got a projector in the lounge. Thanks for the responses though :)

That's a superb response. Everything I wanted to know summed up perfectly. Thank you very much :)

Forgot to add - they're GU10 fittings if that makes any difference.
