Thanks for your help. I cannot believe that no one in the forum has not had to do a static caravan fit.

60amp.

Hard wired from outside meter. Inside van all is similar to house installation. Consumer unit to ring main, immersion heater lights etc. Plenty of space adjacent to fit shower consumer unit. Thanks for prompt reply.

In the bathroom in of my static caravan I want to install an electric shower over the bath and an extractor fan . As the bathroom is small, almost everywhere is Zone 1 or 2. The only exterior wall (which has a window in it) is above the long side of the bath. The roof space is not accessible...

Going to instal a bar shower mixer by feeding pipes down inside stud partition from attic. Please advise proper method of securing mixer valve and pipework.

Cheers Andy

Fitting instruction that came with a 30A junction box stated......."Screw base of box to a fixed non-flammable surface". Is this part of the new regs? I have always screwed such items straight on to a joist in the past. What am I likely to have in my attic that complies.?

Securespark Thanks for prompt reply . Have plasterboard ceiling and existing fitting is on joist. Here I go!!

Intending to replace pendant light in cloakroom with another fitting which only has 3 terminals. I believe I have to remake the looped connections with a junction box up in the ceiling and bring down L+N+E with heat resistant cable through a Besa box fitted flush with the ceiling. Well I...

Just bought a Transit van, hi-top, lwb. Sliding side door, no windows in back. Bulkhead fitted. Central locking, no keys reqd for rear door. Looking for advice on beefing up security. I have looked at dead bolts, slam locks and loom protectors. Is there anything else to consider. The...

I need to replace a pair of the above. Does anyone know of a supplier. The name "Stadium" is stamped on the ones that I have but cannot find any reference to them on the Web.

Well a plumber came down adjusted the tank and inlet pipe, so I didn't have to use my broad beans. Thanks to all the guys who provided material for my Friday night standup show.

New professional installation, Ideal Standard WC, back to wall model with hidden 6L cistern, dual flush. The problem is incomplete flushing on most occasions. Supplier says they had no complaints after 100’s of installations, but would send their rep. to investigate in due course. OK, I do...

Thanks Masona. Cold water from cold tank then via pump along with hot. Must say all worked OK for last 2 yrs. Problem apparent for last 3 months.

My thermostatic shower/mixer temperature control has gone a bit sensitive. That is to say the slightest movement of the control turns the water from very hot to freezing, and it is a bit of a fiddle to balance it. It is 2-3 years old. I have stripped it down as far as I can and found no dirt...

Machine installed in basement and running a treat. Thanks to all who contributed.

Thanks for the tip Drew, I didn't realise they made so many devices!!

Greetings to all who offered advice. Just thought I would post results of my research into washing machine pumps. I have a 14 year old Phillips Whirlpool. I found that it would raise water to 2.08 meters. It produced a good flow at 1.90M. My basement floor is only 1.5M below ground, so I...

Point taken Breezer. Better not buy a top loader either!!! I'll do some tests next month and see what happens. Just thought of another problem. When the pump stops I may have few feet of water in the vertical pipe running back into the bottom of the machine. Ok now I need a non-return...

Greetings Thanks to everyone who answered my query. I think I will try Ant's suggestions. My son suggested I sit the machine on a plinth and get it as near to the floor beams as possible, that might just make the difference. Regards
