Your daughter needs to contact her insurance company and they will arrange whatever repairs are required to this other persons property.

Normally arranged like this, connect one wire to A and the other to B.

The arrangement suggested could be used, if the primary aim was to waste as much cable as possible and maximise inconvenience by having a circuit that supplies multiple rooms.

When dishwashers leak they need to be replaced. When any component in a dishwasher needs to be replaced, any attempt at replacement will cause a leak, and then it's replacement time.

Correct. The connector blocks all need to go. Those MIMS cables at the end will need some form of connection, but taped up mess certainly isn't it.

The DNO fuses are in the green metal casement as seen towards the bottom of the second photo. The other fuses are partially visible in the first photo, the black ones behind the hanging cables and the grey connector block.

There isn't, and even if there were it won't solve anything. The problem is the high pressure cold will be dramatically higher than the feeble hot water. Reducing the flow by partly closing a valve won't change that. Yes, it's terrible and will cause problems 100% guaranteed. This is why UK...

It's an 8 year old clapped out diesel banger which someone mistakenly believes is worth 28 grand. It has an automatic transmission-o-failure, and most of the miles on it were done in it's first few years of existence. In the last 3 years it's done 3600 miles total. It's either been...

That 'important bit' refers to DNO metering as used at distribution points and the like. Entirely unrelated to metering at end user premises, which is not owned by or operated by any DNO. They certainly have, but mewling about such things long after the event will achieve nothing. Records of...

It probably was, before privatisation. In the days when electricity supplies, metering and infrastructure were all done by the Electricity Board and that was that. However all of that has changed, so wiring in shared areas of flats and the like is now NOT anything to do with the DNO even if...

There are two connections, one of them line the other neutral. Which is what doesn't matter. Yes.

Not stated but mine is about once a month or so. Not likely to make much difference as long as it's done sometimes. It does waste electricity so not something that you would want to do often. No. Left over partial truths from ancient NiCad batteries where frequent partial recharging did...

People might, but in busy areas there are often dozens of different networks. Very few people will look at them all. Most will just look for what appears to be the name of the shop or whatever and connect to it. It certainly should. DNS requests should come from the VPN endpoint, same as all...

No, that entire area should be restricted access.

It isn't, if you wanted that version of Octopus Go you will need a compatible EVSE. Or just use the standard Octopus Go which works with anything, but is slightly more expensive. For NMC cells: keep between 20% and 80% most of the time If it gets down below 20%, recharge as soon as possible to...

It mostlly doesnt. Just an explanation of how all the totally wrong diagrams were created. All that really matters is that the heater is more than 600mm from the edge of the bath or shower.

What is the wall made of? If it's plasterboard then it's trivial to open up a hole and relocate the pipes to any distances you want. Bending pipes that are already in the wall is not recommended.

No chance of any new diesel vehicle lasting 10 years. All the pollution reduction crap stuck in them now makes them complex and unreliable. Any recent diesel is a bust unless you are driving long distances regularly, which means mostly motorway driving - and if doing high mileage they still...

That is true and is a good thing - however that has limitations. If a device has been connected to a WiFI network that someone has set up to extract information, then the encryption is only between your device and that network. Dodgy person with laptop in the corner and you inadvertently...

Just assume that all public access wifi is dodgy, and use a VPN 100% of the time. The establishment itself isn't the primary risk - if they were operating some dubious network it would be found out fairly quickly. Much more likely is someone sitting in the corner or outside in a vehicle using a...
