Thanks all. I have a new multimeter arriving in a day or two so will test the output at the fitting points. I did get a 12v LED bulb tonight and tested in one (it arrived before the meter) and that illuminated fine, but I appreciate loading up 6 of those is a different kettle of fish. What am I...

Ah I see - yes I can do that - it's kind of what I was considering with replacing the innards of the new ones with those of the old - diffusion of the light was the biggest issue with that. So if I can get a diffused bulb with a different holder that would work - if the current transformer /...

Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fitting-Replacement-Traditional-Interior-Lightings/dp/B00VYV3WGI

Hi The new fittings are https://www.valuelights.co.uk/bow-ip64-oval-bulkhead-wall-light I have found that the old lights run off a 10v transformer : https://www.easylighting.co.uk/firstlight-white-led-wall-step-light-silver-finish-1811wh-14352/ So not sure what our options are now. If its...

We have some in wall LED lights which have seen better days and we want to remove them. Ideally we want to fit some bulkhead lights that take E27 Edison Screw bulbs and surface mount them as they will go with the vintage look we are after in the hallway. The current lights obviously have some...

Hi Thanks for that - yes the durgo itself will remain vertical just probably 18-24 inches away from the top of the soil stack to one side.

In our en suite bathroom the soil stack has a durgo valve that terminates at just lower than the cistern height. Whoever designed the house in their wisdom made the en suite so tight that the boxing in for the durgo / soil was basically flush against the side of the cistern - looked awful, and...

I have contacted the suppliers but not had a sensible reply yet. Was hoping someone might have used them and had some real world advice. I will contact Aurora.

Yep cool thanks for that I was trying to work out how to post an edited pic!!

No. Have a look at my link it's the little tabs that are on the top face of the can near the bezel. It has the spring arms in place of those bits in your link. They are riveted on so removal is possible if drilled out but not sure if that will affect operation, obviously it will invalidate any...

I'm not sure!! The directions don't point them out and the 75mm cut out dimension does not Llow for them!!

Yep I see that. These lights don't have that they have a spring arm each side plus half way between each arm a little tab that sticks out see the pic on the link I posted. The tab is close enough to the face of the bezel that it will be against the cut edge of the plaster board. On the pic on...

I'm not sure they would squeeze in there as I say they must protrude 10mm from the can. This is a good pic https://www.directtradesupplies.co.uk/product.php/182480/enlite-adjustable-gu10-lock-ring-fire-rated-downlight--polished-chrome-

I have purchased some Aurora Enlite EN-DLM918x downlights. The instructions state that a 75mm hole needs to be made for them. What is confusing me is that as well as the normal springs there are 2 little metal tabs or "ears" in between. These tabs stick out from the can nearly 10mm and the...

Cheers very much for that. Will re search eradication!!

Hi Just wondering if anyone is able to I'd this plant please? Thanks

Sorry should have given more detail - house is about 12 years old so won't be lime mortar. So 5 to 1 mix then? How wet? Current mortar quite sandy it seems altough maybe thats because its been attacked by the acidic condensate Trowel easier/ better than pointing gun do you think? What sort of...

Yep that's cool sorry got a bit derailed here. Any ideas on my original question of how to go about fixing it? What mix and what tools best to use?

Yep I will pursue for some recompense for sure. how do I get this sorted. I'd rather not wait while I have a fight with a 3rd party I just want to fix the issue. Can anyone please advise on that? Also should I Do anything to neutralise the acidic residue that is there? It's drying out now we...

Hi thanks for that. Have been onto surveyor. He is hiding behind the fact he recommended heating system inspection. I maintain this is a fabric of building issue and should have been spotted. Anyway it needs fixing so want to progress that so all suggestion gratefully received. I will chase...
