I replaced the timer with mechanical one and the boiler worked for 2 weeks then stopped again. I called a local gas engineer who came this morning and spend half an hour but could not get it working. however, when he put the cover on and played with the DHW and CH selector the boiler fired up...

thank will do, do you know the name of then engine on those mowers. I found plenty pull recoil starter on ebay but they are classified by engine name or number not by machine name.

the two pieces of metal that spring out when you the pull recoil starter is pulled to start the mower are damaged. does any one one know where to get these. Or the whole pull recoil starter?

any potential problem should show up in the EICR. I believe the electrician will check every connection as I have seen him did in the past and produce the report. the comfort I take from this weekend exercise is that every circuit in the house is RCD protect which is much safer then before!.

My strategy to tackle this problem was to use the knowledge I gain for the contributions that were posted here to do as much as I can and will call the professionals whenever I get stuck. Hence, I worked in the house all this weekend, I inspected all the wires of the lighting circuits of the...

this is what I asked the electrician to do. he Came around and said " the installation as is will fail" we need to replace the CU and issue what he issued. He did exactly with my other HMO and I shared it with the local authority and no question was asked. I have another certificate which...

my next visit to the property is this Saturday and will check. assume there is what shall i do? just disable it or look inside to see if there is connection between Neutral and Earth? or what else?

many thanks for your detailed instruction. can you elaborate more on the above please. when I disconnect the neutral from the CU the live will be still connected as well as the earth. What does " line or neutral mean" ?

it only feeds the one light bulb under the stairs where the meter is

this is the inside of the CU. the 1.5mm wire on the far right next to the main Switch is the only wire for both upstairs and down stairs light. one of the ways I would start Tshoot the issue is to move from the far right MCB to the fifth from left RCBO, switch all then lights off and then...

there is only one cable in the MBC for both the downstairs and the upstairs light. would that make it difficult to trace?

waiting for the tenants to move out so that we can rewire the whole property. However, they have been looking for alternative accommodation without success. And I do not think they will move out soon as thier daughter with her 2 years old son just got divorced and moved in with them. however...
