Thanks Steve, If laying right to left, I'll need to start at a valley and hence a cut (at an angle) tile. Does this not make it difficult to finish exactly full tile at the eaves? Or is that just the trade off of an interlocking tile. Do you remove the interlock at eaves? I'm just...

Hi and thanks to all that reply, I have a few questions about the Marley Modern tile and would be grateful of your input. Most roofing merchant websites direct you to the Marley website but surprisingly I can't find the answers there! Hope I don't confuse anyone! Here goes: 1) To create a...

Thanks for the reply's, going to stick with the 16a and probably ponder the many possible reasons for the original de-rating!

They are Wylex - good quality?

That would have been easier! thanks. It wasn't to prove branches, just confirming the 2 circuits were a ring. I cannot prove the circuit hasn't been de-rated so am happy to leave the 16a MCB if the general consensus is it will not cause a problem.

I isolated the supply, removed a double socket joined L and N for each leg and tested for continuity at the board if that makes sense.

Thanks, I had considered that the circuit may have been de-rated and as the 16a MCB has caused no problems so far I'm happy not to have to confirm all the ifs! My only concern is for the MCB operating near is trip value. Do they not detect over current based on heat? Could this cause early...

Hello and thanks to all that answer, I have a split load board with a ring final on each side. I noticed, the other day, that the ring on the RCD side has a 16a mcb. I know this is not usually the case and so double checked that it was a ring and not two radials. It is definitely a ring wired...

The original connectors were clipped to the housing but i have used the existing plate to securely mount the connection strip. I think ceramic strips are the way forward, but will look to see if I can get a replacement from the manufacturer.

Hello and thanks to all that reply, I've just finished replacing an oven cable from the cooker connection plate to the connection at the oven. During which I found the connection point (oven end) cracked and unsafe. I have used a terminal strip, of coreect Amp rating, to make a temopary...

Thanks for all the input, Went with the lp111 and thermostat in the end, Only because they were already in the post form screwfix! All done today and working well. Further questions for you all if you fancy them: 1) Explain why the thermostst has a neutral, I think its for an...

Any other opinions on this option(DRT2). I like the idea, nice and simple but battery operated puts me off, anyone used/installed these. Any comments welcome. cheers

I'm liking the look of that! I got blinkered into fixing the programmer fault and then adding a stat. Instead of solving them both at the same time! Is this device widely used for this set up? thanks for answering the other questions.

Hello and thanks to all that answer,this is a follow on from a post earlier this week but i've started a new thread to prevent confusion. I'm changing a broken drayton programmer (not digital) for a drayton LP111 connected to a vaillant . The backplate is wired exactly the same so an easy...

update- i'm an idiot! Linking 3 and 4 at the boiler now works, so its definately the timer! I'll not tell you my mistake because there's enough **** taking on this site so I won't open the floodgates for more! Will a newer, digital (drayton) programmer mount to the backplate already...

thanks, tried that still nothing. then i removed the external controls by bridging connections 3 and 4. still nothing. Any ideas??any thing else i can check myself before getting someone in? thanks.

hello and thanks to all that answer, This is an electrical question stay with it! I have a vaillant combi boiler which is not firing/pumping (heating) however the boiler is producing hot water and no fault codes are displayed. I have a drayton timer. sorry don't no the model number but its...

hello and thanks to all that reply, I'm sure you've heard it before but this really is a story about a friend!! He's just redone his kitchen and had a rewire. the lecky has wired a socket for the connection of a hob from the ring main. However, the hob ,possibly unknown to the lecky, is a...

Will be calling on monday with the measurements but as i'm not at the property, a friend is going to measure so wanted to give him as much info as possible. If there are no other comments to this topic will just measure the opening and ask them on the phone. thanks
