Yeah, I wasn’t about to get into just changing the pump, though the belt looked fine (I’ve bought cars before now with an unknown history and ended up changing a timing belt that looked like an alligator’s back.. this one looked practically new; I think it’s only done about 30k since it was...

How come you didn’t drill it out? (or drill the entire lug away; I think I suggested this might be necessary)

So, notionally, one of these: Don’t worry about it. If they plug 8 kettles in and power them all up that fuse is a goner well before anything else sets on fire

Why don’t you ring some up and ask them their day rate and their brick rate? They may come as a gang so ask whether they work solo with you labouring or whether the price is per man/gang etc

I’d have thought a nice bra and panties set would have only enhanced your already stunning good looks

You must be one of the only people in the world to have anty bodies for an electric shock

What, all of them, in the hopes the OP can work out which ones are relevant? “Go read everything I’ve ever written about flashing” is not helpful, or how forums work. Offer targeted advice for the situation please - all you’re effectively saying with that is “why don’t you go and google it?”...

Perhaps need another EICR from another electrician

I expect their phones have very sophisticated connections to the web

Are you also certain that there wasn’t a temporary water supply problem to the entire area that coincided with your actions/concerns ?
