An isolator in an enclosure is not a consumer unit, distribution board or switchgear assembly as defined in BS EN 61439-3, as there are no protective devices in it, and a single device cannot be used for the distribution of electrical energy.

Still far less than the equivalent fuel duty, and that fuel duty will be increasing in the future. Zero, unless someone insisted on taking the car to the main stealers every six months, in which case they will get done over, just as they would with any other car taken to such places. That can...

What the actual consumption figures? Percentages on their own mean very little.

It is - at low temperatures. If you want to boil things up, then non-bio is the thing to use. Sodium percarbonate, which rots certain fabrics away. Persil sold a version of their powder a few decades ago that included it, Persil Power. Biggest disaster in the history of detergents. It was all...

Anyone can plug in an EV to charge at any time and leave it charging for as many hours as they want. There is no limit or restriction.

Ballasts were called chokes long ago. In more recent decades such items were replaced with electronic drivers, no starter requried. Fluorescent tubes are obsolete.

To charge a battery from solar panels requires that the voltage from those panels is adapted to suit the battery. In the case of an EV, that battery is either around 400 volts or 800 volts, so you would need to convert the varying output voltage from whatever solar panels you have got to...

This is not a problem, as no one arrives home every day with 1% remaining and then has to charge to 100% every night ready for the next day of driving to the absolute maximum range of the vehicle. Just as no one fills their car with petrol or diesel from nothing to overflowing every day. On the...

Whatever dimmer is built into the table lamp is not compatible with LEDs.

They did the same some years back regarding various electrical items. Same story - wanting everything done on the ultra cheap using materials which were entirely inappropriate, and assuming it would take far less time than it actually would.

Irrelevant, as you won't be charging an EV 'direct with DC'. They all require 230V AC. The only DC charge options for EVs are high powered dedicated charging devices as found at motorway services and the like, and even they require AC as the input, typically a 3 phase supply capable of at least...

No. Limescale destroys everything, and doesn't care whether the part was £50 or £500. However if someone did pay vast sums for some overpriced shower, they would then be compelled to spend even more repairing it as they would convince themselves that replacing the whole expensive deal would be...

If you want to replace just that part, it will need to be that exact one, which is probably this: https://shop.lunns.net/idrols-mk2-flush-valve-cw-base--button-for-china-cisterns-only-126303-p.asp There is no compatibility between manufacturers.

Very likely. The PV meter would normally be recording total generation from the panels. However even with only 2 panels, 152kWh over 46 days seems very low, only 1.65kWh per panel per day. What size and how old are these panels?

15m², 7200 lumens, assuming all the light ends up on the floor is 480 lux, hardly excessive for a kitchen. In reality probably more like 400 lux due to losses incurred by walls etc. 'adequate' is subjective. It's just 60W. There are no 'tubes' inside, it's just a linear LED flat panel and an...

Correct. No, and it's a basin anyway. If you want to connect to one of the existing lights, a narrow slot will need to be cut into the plaster horizontally from one of the lights to behind the new cabinet. Wide enough for the cable, and deep enough so that the cable will fit into it and...

This: https://www.toolstation.com/integral-led-lightspan-ip20-ik08-batten-light/p57915 which will cover the same area on the ceiling and very likely use the same fixing and cable locations. It will be significantly brighter than the old fluorescent tube and whatever LED replacement affair has...

Best ignore it then and just shove a slab of manky old plywood on the wall as you obviously intended to do all along.

Sling that 'bracket' away and install a brass munsen ring with backplate and an extension piece of the appropriate length.
