I prefer these crimps:

You would also need to check with the overload manufacturers instructions, many new ones say set the overload to FLC vaule, many older ones say set it to FLC+10%

No because the 24 hour supply powers the controls, electronic thermostats and heater relays.

Agree with Xtal ball, you will want to repair the heater as all new storage heaters now require 2 mains supplies, an economy7 supply and a 24hour supply, to meet the new lot 20 EU rules. This allows more control and heating at all times but means you are also partly heating your house with the...

I usually do the same thing but hang the fan with huge cable ties. Looks a bit bodgey but cuts the noise level a huge amount.

This type? (Wattage may be different)

The fault is most likely the earth wire isn't connected at the other end of the cable. It might be at a nearby socket or a junction box somewhere.

Why not find the fault so you can keep the socket?

Is the back box metal? If it is, how will you earth it before putting the blank plate on?

OH MY GOD! Ignoring the rest of the catastrophe what on earth are all the wire links for?! This has to be one of the poorest attempts at wiring a light fitting I have seen in the 16 years I have worked as an electrician. Call an electrician!

It might be inside. We can't answer that without knowing the rating of the shower, the length of the cable and how it is installed. Whatever, the shower will be at least 8.5KW which exceeds the rating of the fuse, the fuse base looks heat damaged and it would not be a good idea to just replace...

If you pull it out of the ceiling it will likely have a model number on it.

Those MCBs are horrible, if you press the little red off button it's anyone's guess if it can ever be switched on again!

Stick with the oil, get a new tank properly fitted and a new oil line installed. Then save up for a new boiler when the time comes. Continuing to use a damaged tank is total madness, if it was to split open you would be saying goodbye to your entire garden, and possibly your neighbours garden...

Do you know what voltage the old and new bells are? You may need to change the voltage at the transformer, some old bells need only 4V which is too low for most others, 8 and 12V are common voltages for newer bells. I take it whoever did the painting did the cutting in with a roller!

Perhaps! Screwed steel looks so much nicer though, and is more fun to install.

I was more offended by the pipework!

Those CBB capacitors are used in all sorts of things and have a really short life.

Both units are supplied with wiring diagrams.

Your heating is bog standard Y plan, either will work. It has pumped heating and hot water not gravity.
