    Fixed or hinged return

    Rip the whole lot out and fit items which are appropriate to the space. Worst 'refurb' ever.

    Help - New Actuator Head won’t fit

    Use the isolator handle directly below. Release any pressure in the system Undo the other end, only a small amount of water will be lost. No need to 'drain down' anything.

    Outside lights on a rewire? Lighting it ring??

    Either could be done. You could connect to the lighting circuit and use a double pole switch to isolate.

    SWA across concrete footpath

    If under the path it will need to be deep enough so that the cable is below the concrete slab, and therefore not affected by any movement or cracking of the concrete. Cutting into concrete across a narrow strip like that between a building and a fence will be a pile of bother. Clipped to a...

    These "adaptors" are unbelievable

    Markings which are rarely enforced and even when they are, it's usually after some disaster has already occurred causing injury, fire and death. Then the company that made the false declaration of conformity mysteriously disappears.

    Choosing a central heating controller

    Pretty much any wired or wireless thermostat can be used with those boilers. There is no protocol or system - they are an basic on/off switch. When the switch is on, the boiler works. Some manufacturer specific controls may have features where the burner power can be adjusted relative to the...

    Has plug and play solar now been passed, I see adverts?

    There isn't. The important difference is that EV charging plugs/sockets do not have any exposed pins on either half, and they are only energised when the plug/socket has been locked into the other half, Unless someone has tampered with it, they can't be unplugged when energised, and even if...

    Has plug and play solar now been passed, I see adverts?

    It is, although not the latest version, it's the one before that. No, that paragraphs is the whole of section 4.

    Has plug and play solar now been passed, I see adverts?

    Caravan sites are not domestic dwellings, they are a commercial site and are supposed to be inspected and controlled by those who have some idea of what they are doing.. Reality may be different. It's a 200 regulation, of the applies only to the UK because of special reasons type. They are not...

    Compatible rcbo

    Possible, but it's only a 2 way unit with a couple of lighting circuits. Cheaper to just bin the whole thing and replace.

    Has plug and play solar now been passed, I see adverts?

    Just be glad that high capacity batteries that anyone can just plug in don't exist. Oh wait - they already do. https://www.mygrid.energy/ Good luck to anyone invested in installing solar and/or battery storage.

    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...
