Is the fan sited in a position where it gets a large amount of moisture in it or something like that? I have 4 Manrose fans, 2 normal and 2 inline, and never had a problem with any so far. I guess lack of incoming air could cause an issue. As air is taken out, more has to come into the room. Do...

Don't vent into the loft, it really isn't a great idea. You need to get it outside. Can you not get at the roof tiles/underlay from inside the loft? If so, you can vent through the tiles, either by changing a tile for a vented one and extracting through that, or by fitting a Lapvent, which you...

lol :D

Noooo.......you're missing the point. :)

I'll correct that typo for you - So, in your opinion, in which of my 3,000 previous posts here have I NOT been ranting? :D

To lessen the signal if it's too strong and suffering from interference? Could be.

What's that silver box type thing that is connected to what looks like a TV amplifier/splitter?

It just means that it should be earthed at the plug/connection. i.e. the yellow/green earth wire from the connected cable should be connected within the plug or cooker connection point.

This is like being back in infant school.....

I was talking about JohnD. He has no lug. As opposed to others, which sound like they have a lug but no thread. Phew.

A ring is just what it says - a ring. It needs to be, and should be closed. There can be various reasons why a spur might be added. An extra socket might have been needed at some stage by a previous owner for example, and it's perfectly normal to do this. Usually, if it has two cables it's part...

You could either use a correctly rated terminal block to connect the cables together and use a blank face plate. Or I think you can get a blank face plate that has the terminals behind it, so it's like a plug socket with just a plain front, if you like. Either of the above will keep the ring...

Why not invest in a multimeter as has been said? And research on how to use it for your scenario. You can get them really cheap. And in any case, it would be cheaper than getting someone in, and you've got it for future use.

In John's case though, the lug has completely gone, it's not there. Drilling a hole and plugging through the backbox crossed my mind also. As well as supergluing a small block of wood to the back/side of the box, behind where the missing lug is, and screwing into that.

I can't see how anything would be better than bolting those extenders onto the old lug. Except for the tiny elf idea.

But how would you hold the new lug in place while you screw the face plate on? The pic I posted above - I think they come with nuts so they become fastened to the old lug.

Isn't this what you need - And here's another thread which might help you with this - http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=87439

I would say so, yes.

Make sure you get this confirmed by the pro's on here, but yes, your FCU in the loft is fine I think, as that's where the fan is. It's purpose is to isolate the power if the fan needs to be worked on, cleaned, whatever. As yours is an inline fan in the loft, then the FCU nearby, in the loft, is...

An inline fan in the loft space might be best. You only need a 4" hole in the ceiling to take the vent, and there are various ways to achieve that. Is this not possible? Also, you can have windows fans in double glazed units. Also, what's above the door? Sometimes there is something like a...
