The leak is coming from where the arrow is pointing. Thanks for all help so far.

The images are fixed. Joint still definitely not fixed

Fixed now

What's the name for the fitting at the end? Cone? Tried PTFE on the mating face and it's still leaking. I reckon it's taken such a shape having never been off before that it isn't going to seal again.

I've got a coffee machine that requires a new olive I believe as it won't seal when tightened up. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get hold of these fittings so I could attempt to replace it. Alternatively if anyone has any tips on how I could get this to seal that would be great...

What about if it were in Scotland? Out of interest.

Sorry for not replying before. Happy to report its all working, thanks to your advice. I opted to use a fan isolator pullcord to turn on and off, and due to the wiring setup the neon no longer works. Is there a way to bring that back into operation as it's hard to tell when it's been turned on...

Thanks for that. Connecting the PL to the live on the input side means that it will continue receiving its PL allowing the timer to run? And I can use any pullcord, doesn't have to be a triple pole one?

That makes sense, thank you. If I'm running 2C+E to the switch, then 3C+E from switch to isolator, should I take a loop wire from the live to the switched live in the switch, so that the output of the switch has both live and switched live? Thanks all!

Yeah I hear you. We have a massive bathroom window with so never need the lights when having a shower so prefer a separate switch. Pullcord for turning fan on and off would be best. What kind am I looking for? I keep seeing triple pole fan isolator ones, is that right for this application? If...

Will do the photos shortly. House is 70s. Just for sanity, if I want the fan (timer version) controlled by its own pullcord and not at all influenced by the bathroom lights, do I have to run a T+E from a ceiling rose or JB in the lighting circuit to a triple pole fan isolator switch, and 3C+E...

So funnily enough I can't find a permanent live at the ceiling rose. There's only 240 if the light is switched on... Can I take a perm live from somewhere else in the loft?

Will report back!

This is on the list of testing things today. I do have a multimeter

Voltage detector pen. Is that any better than the neon screwdriver?

So got an inline extractor fan in the loft. 3 pole isolator fed from a ceiling rose (line loop N + E). Orange light on isolator comes on and cables to fan are live, but fan doesn't run. All the JB's in the loft are in old metal conduit, and all black + red wires. The bathroom and a couple of...

Hi all, I'll be fitting an inline fan in the loft this weekend and bought a condensation trap for the ducting. It's too big for the ducting to pull over it, but if the ducting slips inside it then I can't see how to secure the ducting to it other than tape. If I use a straight coupler it's...

Not sure, will have another look later. Reason I was checking the lights was to see what was above the plastic wet wall panel as I need to cut a hole for an extractor fan in the ceiling. So I'll be up in the loft soon to do that and can check the state of the wiring up there...

So assuming the cpc is connected further back, I should join both cpc's together on each light?
