Hi All. Thanks for all of the input. I'll consider buying one when they arrive, and experiment. My questions have been answered, so cheers. C

Hi R, Yes, it does say, that it has to be enabled. C

Hi D, This is kind of what I meant, thanks. C

Hi R, Ok, thanks. I don't believe all I read on the internet, and that's why I asked you experts, here on the internet. C

Hi, Did you read all of the link I posted? It states, that smets2 will reverse. C.

Hi Just found this: https://pluggedin.solar/blog/smart-meter-solar-panels-complete-guide-uk C.

Hi D, I didn't ask about batteries, only the meter and grid. C

Hi J, I started reading your thread, but I don't want amateur guesswork and conspiracies, and it's too long for me to read, but thanks. C

Hi, I've just heard about plug in solar panels, which sound interesting. I had panels on my motorhome, and they charged 12v batteries and could run a laptop or tv, so for me they're useful. What I want to know is, as these are mains plug in, does the meter run backwards, when producing more...

Hi, I need to take off the waste bottle (for want of better words) from under the basin, but there's no room to grip it. How can I do it, please? C.

Hi W, Good idea, that's what I did to fit the purlin needed, and as it's in a narrowing space, is not easy, so never again for me I'm afraid. C

Hi W, The reason the vents are there, is for any moisture will be ventilated outside, and not run down the cold wall, and into the room. It's not until this happens that you would wish for them, in a similar way to the feezing problem. C.

Hi W, Yes, it is a bit. My main worry is a pipe burst. When insulating a wall in the way I did with Building control, there must be weep vents, which add some ventilation to the inner wall surface. I have now blocked these, and any vent areas I can find, but there is still a slight draft where...

Hi, In the summer I fitted 2x large windows into what was an outside toilet/coal lean to. I battened the wall for 100mm insulation boards. It was passed by building control, plastered decorated and it's now an asset to the house, and nice and warm. Today I woke up to no cold water, because the...

Hi J, Have you heard of Barry Bucknell? He was most likely to have been the TV 'criminal' who was behind this. I had to do the same, try local reclaim. C

Hi R, Regarding the two circuits, this was answered already, thanks. #18 shows what most likely happened, so all is well. C

Hi, We'll moan and vote this lot out, just like we moaned and voted the last lot out, then in a couple of years time we'll start moaning again about the new lot ;) Happy New Year C

Hi, Just got back from a few days at Christmas, and all was well. Then I made some toast and the RCD tripped, so found the culprit. This is good quality toaster, and 3 years old, but it doesn't eject properly, weak spring. Next to it is a wedding present from the early 70s, with also a weak...

Hi E, I see! I could set up a switch-over in case of one RCD failing, but it's not worth it, the next time it could trip the main one instead. Thanks, C.

Hi J and E, Good job I asked, thanks. C
