    Cable size

    10mm² can be used instead of 6mm², the only possible problem is that due to being significantly larger the 10mm² may not fit into the terminals of whatever it is being connected to. 6mm² is probably oversized for a 6kW load over 10 metres distance.

    Filtering chemicals

    Sounds like total BS. There are only two ways such things can work Either it's a solvent which dissolves the grease into solution directly or it's a detergent like action which will chemically attach to the grease molecules so they can then be washed away by some other liquid (usually water)...

    No one near me wants this job - New ground rod

    1% of that work is electrical. The rest is construction. It's also going to be a right old malarkey of a job, given: the concrete and paving all around the very high likelihood of concealed things underground which will require a survey before anything else is done the oil tank right next to...

    Technika TV aerial socket fault

    That will reset picture settings only. You need the factory reset everything, which will put it back to how it was when new. Once that is done the first thing you should get is the country selection / tuning menu.

    Compatible rcbo

    Not compatible. Busbar connection will not align. The only similarity between that old 9000 series and the new one is the name on it. There were 9000 series RCBOs which would fit, but they are all Type AC so of no use.

    Technika TV aerial socket fault

    Before rushing to assume hardware failure, check in the menus/settings that: it's the correct country selected it's digital and not analogue it's antenna and not cable and auto channel tuning has been done with those correct settings. If some/all of those are not available, then factory reset...

    Frustrating light switch swap

    Two separate switches, A and B separated by the red line. The wires for each transfer to the new switches to the same connections. Wires for A to the new dimmer. Wires for B to the new switch. The only minor difference is that C on the new is L1 on the old. Nothing else is changed, you do...

    Metal Back Box Clips

    Junk products which are solutions looking for problems no one ever had. 100% of what is on that channel is paid for sponsored content, so none of it should be taken as being credible.

    Freeview aerial comparison

    That organisation has zero influence in what commercial media providers decide to pay for, Sky has a contract to use the satellites until 2029. They won't be renewing it as large parts of their service have already moved to streaming and the rest will follow. The satellites are EOL in 2030...

    Low resistance on microwave oven

    Insulation resistance testing for circuits is done with all loads disconnected, because if loads are connected, faulty results will be obtained. They tested with the microwave connected - therefore they got defective results. Probably due to filter capacitors or other components within the...

    Rcd protectio in bathroom

    The report is wrong. How it got to be wrong is something only the wrongun that completed it will know. Lack of SELV could only be C2 if it was required and it wasn't there. Bathroom extractors can be SELV but do not have to be. The only required SELV items in a bathroom would be desperately...

    Low resistance on microwave oven

    The only possible cable is the mains lead between the plug and the appliance. Tests on many items of equipment can be inconclusive or just entirely wrong. Whoever did the test should have told you what the problem was. If they are unable to do so, then they are just another blundering...

    Buy a new one from Amazon for £7. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LOLBIU-Military-Grade-360%C2%B0Rotation-Windscreen-Smartphones/dp/B0CFDH6Z81?th=1 Or risk that old one falling and destroying the phone that's in it.
