Hi all, looking for some advice with a garage suffering from damp and mould. the garage wasn’t used for storing a car when we moved in and that’s never changed. It had a carpet down and a condenser tumble dryer, fridge freezer, a bench and some free weights and other random things stored out...

Finally got it working! It was the wrong retractive switch as I suspected. This is the new one. It bounces back to its home position and the actual switch runs parallel to the plate as opposed to the first one which is more like a normal switch in the off position until you click/hold the...

Yep

Ok so if that's the case and the dimmer definitely still works fine and the retractive switch still works fine and I've now wired it up exactly as York suggested.... but yet it still doesn't work? :confused:

The dimmer is fine. It's a 2-gang dimmer and the first gang goes to the front room light. I swapped them over to make sure the dimmer was ok and did I make sure the retractive switch was ok. It's most likely what I thought.... wrong type of retractive switch. When I first bought the dimmer...

Fair comment, but I was getting massively frustrated that it wasn't working in the way that I'd followed the instructions.......Anyways I'll see what happens with the other retractive switch I've just ordered. If that doesn't work then I'll have to call in a spark.

Yes that's exactly what I did right at the very beginning. I only started trying to use L2 when i couldn't get it to work. The only difference I can really see from York's suggestion and my very first attempt was that I had the grey and black cables the other way round on both ends. Anyhow I...

I did wire it up according to the instructions right at the beginning and it didn't work, hence the reason I've been trying different configurations. I've even tried swapping the switches round so that the retractive switch is by the door entrance and the dimmer is by the patio door (so that...

This is the installation guide: guide Thanks everyone for your help so far, much appreciated

It wasn't a 2-way before. We are completely redecorating the downstairs so I thought now would be a good opportunity to run a 3-core and earth between the two switches as if always wanted to be able to control both lights from the door entrance. Is there anyway the wiring could be wrong at the...

Thanks... just tried that but the retractive switch doesn't do anything. The dimmer is working fine but nothing from the RS end. This is how i wired it...

Having a mare trying to fit a 2-gang, 2-way Schneider dimmer switch! It doesn't seem to make any difference which way I wire it up, it still doesn't work right! I've got it by the entrance to the living room. It's 2-gang so one of the gangs is just brown (live) and blue (neutral) which goes to...

Turns out it was a 3/8 not a 5/8.... doh!! :rolleyes: Got one of these from Stevenson https://www.stevensonplumbing.co.uk/15mm-x-3-8-inch-compression-female-adaptor.html All sorted... now on to the next thing.... rads cold at the bottom!

Was just about to fit an external expansion vessel yesterday. https://www.plumbnation.co.uk/boiler-spares/product/worcester-87161425040-expansion-vessel-10l/ I just assumed (without actually looking!) that the thread on the E.V. would be 3/4" so I purchased a 3/4" female to 15mm compression...

I bought it from eBay (brand new in box, including a wall mount bracket!) for £20 - that's cheaper than any 10ltr expansion vessel I could find. The bloke selling it told me he'd asked his wife to stick some bits on eBay for him and she'd listed the expansion vessel at the wrong price (he...

I've already bought it now.... any idea about how to mount it?

Because the old one is internal, costs more and is difficult to get to.

I've just purchased a Worcester Bosch 10l expansion vessel for my WB greenstar boiler as the internal vessel membrane has gone (pressure dropping on boiler and water coming out the schrader valve on the expansion vessel)...

You two are really not doing your fellow tradespeople any favours are you! :whistle: First tweedle-dum AGAS accuses me of making assumptions about him, and then in the very same sentence suggests that I should tar people with my own idiotic lifestyle, experiences and choices, yet knows nothing...

Haha I appear to have left you somewhat discombobulated AGAS.... presumably the old age taking its toll... certainly couldn't be due to the lack of intellect.... you are a plumber after all
