Hi kidgreen, I'd drink to that except the water is so foul with the red hose in :shock: ....but I know where you are coming from on this and wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't experienced it. According to the water suppliers it's the cheap hoses or washers that have their phenol removed by...

Thanks footprints, I thought of Hotpoint but wouldn't mind paying if I knew they weren't just using the same as Screwfix etc...and robbing me for the priveledge. I'll try the separation suggestion if I can't get the washers. Part of this problem is that the washers (which I think are the main...

Thanks squeaky I'll do that

Hi Madrab, thanks, SW said the chlorine was higher than normal but within limits as they were working on mains at Cardonald, tbh I've tasted neighbour's water in same block and I'm the only one with the problem. Sadly I chucked the old hose as I thought it was a simple replacement job. I've been...

Hi all, I've had a major problem with a taste/smell contamination from new washing machine hoses fitted to my Hotpoint which has separate hot and cold fillers, the hot from the combi (new last year) The problem started when the old red hose started leaking and I went to Screwfix and bought the...

Thanks bernardgreen for the link. and JohnW2: thanks also , I'm very much a layman to electrics so unless someone else objects technically to your suggestion I will indeed include the CPC it's easy enough to do...I had to Wiki CPC to know what you meant, so thanks for increasing my...

Thanks again guys, Jackrae: interesting about the magnetic effect, I've never heard of it before, so trunking will be used,thanks EFLImpudence: thanks for confirming the 10mm x2 is ok, that's the route I'll go down until I can replace with a single cable as suggested earlier by Jackrae...

Thanks Jackrae. I'll look at the link, cheers EFLImpudence, thanks also for your advice, the total length of the cable including the outboard will be 4m, I am also using Torberry connectors between the battery cable and the outboard cable, and the circuit breaker is beside the battery fixed...

I posted here a couple of years ago for help with wiring my electric outboard engine to the battery, below is some of the post I made I have an electric outboard engine that I am going to link to a 12v battery via a 50amp circuit breaker as recommended by the Owner's Manual, The engine is...

Thanks Simonh2, that's what I'll do as I have plenty of that cable left, and I'll double it up as suggested. Your help and that of everyone else is greatly appreciated, cheers all.

Thanks to everyone for the info supplied and for pointing out the mistakes in my post. I'm a lot happier as to what I need to do the job. I recognise the problem pointed out with flexing the10mm cable I asked about, and should have given a better explanation of the cable arrangement. The new...

Hi all, could someone advise me on the correct wire to buy in the UK for the following problem: I have an electric outboard engine that I am going to link to a 12v battery via a 50amp circuit breaker as recommended by the Owner's Manual. It says that if extending the outboard's cable to use...

Hi, I've a large loft which has been boarded across the floor area between the uprights for the roof beams. The flooring is T&G chipboard with fibreglass insulation between the joists. I want to board out the walls and ceiling to make a usable room for storage, not do a loft conversion for a...

Hi kevnurse, thanks for the reply....your explanation of how a switch works was excellent, even I could follow it easily. As you say the clicking sounds like a switch that we all have heard for years and is very distinctive, but your way of investigating which switch is making the noise has...

Hi guys thanks for your comments: Davey, the meter is out of the hall and the clicking is definitely within, thanks Crafty: the central heating doesn't come on during the night, and John D: there is one radiator but all the pipes are plastic and under the floor, whereas the sound is recent and...

Hi all, I'd appreciate any suggestions on a problem we are having in our house that has been rewired with new fusebox, RCBs, mains wiring, sockets, and all other fittings by a qualified electrician. Recently we have been hearing in our hall a loud 'click' or often a double click that sounds like...
