    Lamona 8603 dishwasher flooding base tray

    Could be anything. You will have to watch it whilst it's running to see where the water's leaking from.

    Hot water Vs cold water feed for dishwashers?

    You sure it's hot-only? Last time I looked at this, all the hot-fill dishwashers were actually hot or cold.

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    Openreach have been increasing prices for copper products to encourage the stragglers. https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2025/11/openreach-raises-prices-on-copper-lines-to-boost-uk-fibre-broadband-adoption.html

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    There was a specific product for this called "Fibre Voice Access" but Openreach dropped it as takeup was poor. https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2024/08/openreach-sets-uk-withdrawal-date-for-fibre-voice-access-product.html

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    Unlikely. The point is that BT are trying to close ~80% of their exchange locations. An all-fibre access network will mean that they only need 1000 exchanges nationwide. Keeping exchanges open to serve a handful of copper users is wasteful. If you move the equipment that serves dialtone from the...

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    The user base for copper voice services is dying out. The cost per copper voice line is only going up, so everybody else will have to subsidise this.

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    Not quite nothing, see pcaouolte's post. They have to tell everybody to dial full numbers now. A dull, technical thing happening in the background is being spun as a wonderful new dawn for humanity!

    Intriguing ('made for Britian') Clamp meter!

    Are these old bulkhead light fittings replaceable with LED?

    If the existing fixture is a standard size, then it's likely that drop-in replacements exist, which someone could suggest to the OP if we knew the dimensions. @ericmark see, someone appreciates you :D

    60a supply upgrade to 100a ?

    Replies you get in forums are just advice. Nobody is paid to answer questions and you're not paying anyone for it either. Lurk for long enough and you will work out who's useful, who's a Walter Mitty, who's a waffler, who's an ivory tower/high-horse type, etc. You have to use your judgement at...

    Tadpoles and leaves in pond?

    I had a newt tadpole in my pond within the last month. It has various deciduous trees overhanging it so I do as Munroast described.

    I can't wait to read how it went when you tried to do it yourself.
