    Wiring plug socket, 'to functional earth'

    If it was a functional earth, then it would need pink sleeving, not green/yellow!

    Water heater not working after smart meter installation?

    either the switch live from the meter to the contactor isnt working, or the contactor it's self has failed

    Smart meter sizes, and suppliers stipulating one must be fitted

    Given that it's the consumers side of the install badly terminated, shouldn't the meter monkeys then work to bs7671 or take responsibility as they have left it in that poor condition

    Smart meter sizes, and suppliers stipulating one must be fitted

    is that exposed red and black conductor on the top of the new isolator? if so, hope they are going to correct that poor install as it's a c2

    Christmas Lights

    Err no is the answer, can you not see the bit which says output = 4.5v dc?

    Consumer unit query

    how big is this cu? i'd bet the 4 cores are twisted into their respective circuit pairs, as cu wasn't big enough and someone has moved 1 ring into another's mcb to free a space, probably for the obsolete shower.

    New froststat clicking/lighting up but no response from boiler

    you have connected the switch live to term 3 haven't you? where was the earth core connected to on the honeywell?

    2 consumer units 1 ring

    Thats wrong and cannot be done, should only have 1x cu with the genny plugging into the 16a shore power socket, and 10a radials for the sockets. The max power is only 16a, less in eu countries so a ring would be pointless the changeover switch should be wired before the cu with the shore/genny...

    Smart meters, electric vehicle charging points and Economy 7

    you have a switched supply and a permanent supply, see the switch at lower right, left side is permanent and right side of switch is switched via the black box above, with both cu neutrals joined together in the left henley block

    Use Second fused spur or single

    That rcd spur cannot be fitted on a non rcd protected circuit anyway, so don't bother changing

    Ceiling rose still live after switching off circuit

    The pictures show the pendants connected reverse polarity, the brown should go to the single red not the 2x black conductors

    Does armoured cable to Garage need to be buried?

    As posted, should look something like this when done correctly! Tails split using henley blocks, then a switchfuse or 1way cu installed with the swa correctly terminated using the correct glands. Note - Pic for illustration only!!

    Does armoured cable to Garage need to be buried?

    How is this electrician proposing to fuse down the swa, given you wrote " splitting the heavy supply cable to Consumer Unit"? is there room for a switchfuse in the meter cupboard? Hope he wasn't expecting to just join it directly to the cu tails.

    BT Landline VOIP

    To answer your question, yes you can. Disconnect the pair from the incoming dropwire/lead-in from the back of the nte, then simply use a bt431a to bt431a lead to connect from your smarthub2 to any of your extensions or the nte and away you go.

    CPC Continuity through Metal Clad box

    The back box has 2 fixed lugs so I thought that was sufficient for the faceplate? if you take the plate off for testing then you will lose your earth on the outgoing side/swa, as your relying on the faceplate screws, the incoming earth should go to the faceplate and a link to the back box
