Ooh I tell a lie! There are 3 light switches in the kitchen that control the main light, and two of them the light works fine! Must have a dodgy connection on the other light switch, will check it!

@flameport Done this, it turns on then flickers and turns off again. Will check for loose wire connection

The old light fittings yes, all those thin blue and brown wires were part of the old fixture

Ah! Got it! I thought the group of black was the permanent line but it's the reds! I see!

Hey folks, I have taken off the old kitchen light, and took a photo of the cabling (attached). As well as a picture of all the cabling hanging down. The new led batten light just has a blue and brown. I've connected the blue to the single black wire I've connected the brown to the group(4)...

Yeah I was replacing a busted siphon (wouldn't flush without pushing the handle loads) so thought I'd change the fill valve at the same time as that was an old style ball float one. Thomas Dudley do a "edge" siphon which is a lot slimmer I could try that...

I think close coupled?

It's height adjustable but it still touches the base of the fill valve due to it's width. Need to find a super narrow one @terryplumb which flush valve would you recommend in this case

No gap for that :(

It still touches the base of it

Cistern

Hey folks, trying to fit a Thomas Dudley dual siphon to the downstairs toilet however, having tried to fit it, I can't get it to sit flush as it's hitting the inlet valve. Is it the fact I've bought the wrong siphon for this particular cistern? I had hoped I hadn't but I can't see any other...

@oldbuffer Incredible help thank you so much !

Hey folks, attached is a picture of our current toilet setup, are replacements available for toilets this old? Had a rather large quote (£290+) from a plumber to change both toilet internals. The issue is having to pump the handle about 5 times to get it to flush. Any plug and play style...

You sir are a genius, I had a non dimmable led bulb which kinda worked on the old dimmer, just put a proper dimmable bulb in now it works! Thank you so much for your help, all of you today I hope you enjoy a beer later or wine, or whatever drink of choice! Now the issue of getting it all back...

Ok! We are getting somewhere! With this setup, wall lights and dimmer work. Ceiling light power works, but not dimmer. We are close?! Assume it's ok for me to use wago to solve the issue of fitting 2 wires into one socket?

Ok will try the above diagram. I just did another test, which was LR in L1 (2 wires) Com into squiggly line LL into L1 Result was, power on and off worked for ceiling light. No dimmer function, and wall lights not working.

Yes one each side but the switch Operates both at once

The original is just one for wall lights and one for ceiling light

Got it, yes I'll be earthing it no issue there, not fussed which switch does which as it's just wall light and ceiling light so ill just remember which switch is which! :) When you say L1 and L2 is it the same block or L1 from one block and L2 from the other block? (When I tried using com...
