....to JohnW2 ? He was very active on this forum until a couple of months ago. Hope he's ok.

I visited TLC in Southampton recently, looking for some cat5e and had concerns over being sold CCA. I was relieved when they produced a reel of solid copper stuff and told me that is the only stuff they stock.

The two devices in the outside box look like RCBOs to me?

Starbreaker so should be easy enough. Thanks for the advice.

The feed is 2.5 t &e and exits the CU which is at ceiling level into the loft (bungalow), then is surface clipped down the wall into the secondary CU, so I guess it will be ok long term?

Thanks for your input secure. I think I might change the RCBO to an MCB and see what happens. If the RCD continues to trip - like you say, it may be sparky time. I don't have a Megger. Thanks again.

Yes, I've checked - all nice & tight. To elaborate - the small CU feeds a lean-to greenhouse attached to house. GH was replaced, so I stripped out the electrics (some non IP rated fittings & mini trunking) beforehand & refitted it using IP rated accessories & 20mm conduit in the new GH. I...

I'm not sure - I didn't design the circuit. But the RCD never trips.

Circuit is as follows: 16A RCBO feeding small CU with 30mA RCD + 15A MCB for one double socket + 5A MCB for lights. The lights are two 2ft fluorescents with 2 way switching, for some reason the lights intermittently trip the RCBO when they are switched off. But only from one of the switches...

I only see 2 in the N1 bar?

The vehicles were removed from the scene by winching (dragging) them on to a traditional recovery truck. The picture is how they were handled at the impound. The fiesta was being prepared for collection by its owner. Complete with under body damage I'd wager.

One of those hiabs with a frame that lifts via cradles at each wheel?

The program featured a police endorsed independent recovery company (openly named) in Luton, removing cars from the football stadium forecourt prior to a match. Surely this is not an acceptable way to handle other people's vehicles, whether illegally parked or not?

The quality of the unit looks pretty poor. I'd be looking inside the box with the label on it for bad caps in the power supply. http://www.badcaps.net/

It looks like your door has a step down on to the driveway? If so, surely when you are at ground level their door is out of view isn't it? IMHO, if you put anything there, you may add fuel to the fire. Better off just ignoring them if they are that bad.

Amber light? I'm sorry to tell you that you have failed the driving test today Mr. mattylad !! :)

Does a 3A 1362 in a table lamp plug count? Had two pop on SBC incandescent candle lamp failure in the past. With quite a pop too.

Enter the service menu (Google how to do this) there is a maximum volume setting in there for when the TV is used in a hotel room etc. Set this to your usual listening level. Don't adjust anything else in there. Exit service menu. Job done.

I would use a scutch chisel.

In your 1 bathroom.jpg picture, it looks to me like someone has retained the original rose & pendant flex inside the replacement (metal) fitting - please check that the earth (CPC) has also been connected. I don't think it has. :eek: I also note that in the rose pictured on your first post...
