Unfortunately it sounds as though the fuse you've pulled out is nothing to do with the heater. I can only suggest that you find the cable going into the heater and follow it back and hope to find a different fuse / switch which you can remove / switch off. Otherwise look in your CU (aka fuse...

I did consider that but my (extremely) cheap and nasty multimeter doesn't do AC current.

Many thanks for your speedy response.

There are plug-through (doubt whether that's the right word) RCDs available, an example (link): https://www.ryness.co.uk/13-amp-30ma-plug-in-rcd-adaptor-white In my minds eye I can see a Residual Current Meter looking something like (apologies for shadowy photo): but I can't find anything, am...

Just living down to my moniker: I'm absolutely certain Bernard meant "drying" ( d & f next to each other on keyboard).

Living down to my moniker. I assume Scousespark meant "The calculation is simply Ib <= In <= Iz".

In case this is helpful to anyone else. Swapping over the bits to prevent deadlocking from the outside (using the key) was easy. But I couldn't do anything about the snib; there was no obvious way of removing the snib button from the snib slider (inside the "shell"). Also, in this case, there'd...

Another thread has started up about when TMVs are needed: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/requirement-for-thermostatic-mixing-valves-tmvs.551603/

Living down to my moniker, I believe Simon meant "should not be getting water..."

I've got a Wylex rewireable fusebox and installed such MCBs. When the flat above sprang a leak which got into my lighting circuit, it was a darn site easier to flick the MCB back on than to rewire a fuse. (You do need to use the complete unit, i.e. you need to use a screwdriver to remove the...

In Entry 12, Captain Nemesis said "London".

Yes, it's a 60mm. sparkymacka said "It should be a straight swap over". Many thanks. Edited to remove ambiguity.

Short question: does anyone know how easy it is to transplant the innards of a Yale 91 nightlatch (link): https://www.yale.co.uk/en/yale/couk/products/mechanical/nightlatches/91---basic-security-nightlatch/ into the Yale 89 nightlatch shown in the picture below: Long explanation: The Yale 89...

A previous thread reckons you need to be careful about access to a boiler in the loft: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/gas-boiler-and-isolation-regs.548345/

I think that explanation is wrong. It's a 50% discount/rebate for meals costing up to £20. So you should pay £8 for your buffet and the restaurant can claim the other £8 from the government. Of course it's more complicated than that, e.g., only valid on Mon to Wed during August and the...

Stivino said "I've got bulbs similar to that. I'm sure that the lamps came with a sucker to remove the bulbs but you have to push them in and twist them, iirc." Read more: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/spotlight-bulb-replacing.545711/#ixzz6QTzX9r5l Such a sucker might be (link)...

In the interests of being condescending, I'd suggest you make sure the relevant (if you've got more than 1) lighting circuit has been powered off in your CU before pulling out the switch so as to get the photo as asked for by EFLI. Hopefully on the rear of the switch will be some sort of (raised...

I've tried to "start a conversation" with you but as I've never done it before I may well have got it wrong.

I've got some relations who live in Potters Bar, I did wonder if they knew Dilalio and if he might have an offcut. However my current favourite idea is Nozzle's suggestion of removing the innards and putting in a blanking cap, that's as long as I don't have to remove the valve and put it in a...

Thanks for both of these I'll try to switch brain on (not always easy). Thanks again.
