As said above, the shower will take about 38amps so if your missus had the oven, ring and kettle on, you could easily exceed the rating of a 60amp CU, symtoms would bne overheating, even blowing the main fuse if it is 60amp. 80amp gives you more spare capacity.

Changing my electric shower, including the pipework. I want to come straight down the wall, behind the shower, come out of the wall at 90 degrees then up another 90 degrees into the shower inlet. In effect a 180 degree turn. The old shower was in the same place but its pipework came down an...

I'm doing up my shower cubicle and everything in it. There is already a 100mm tube in the wall from the previous fan. Its located on the same wall as the shower and is slightly above head height. The previous fan was 230v. Is this still acceptable? I see a few SELV type for sale. Wondering...

Thanks you for reminding me why I never reply to posts on here.

I need to drain my CH in order to remove a radiator. I did my old conventional type many times, but its a first for my new combi, it's a Baxi Combi 105 HE. Also how do I refill. I know about the pressure guage to maintain 1-1.5 bar.

I have been asked to provide two 32 amp blue industrial type sockets in a server room by the IT fella at work. The loading could be around 25amp on each. We have a 100amp DB nearby which is operating at around 50-60amp. I don't want to put both sockets on the same phase as it might exceed...

yes, I just adjusted the steering wheel so that it is at its lowest, and the horizontal bezel pulls off with a canvas style gaitor behind.

Come on someone must know.

VW Golf 1.4, four years old. I have to remove the instrument cluster (speedo, tacho and warning lights etc). So far I have pulled off the trim with its gaiter attached immediately above the steering column. This has revealed two screws on the bottom edge of the cluster. On removing these, the...

yeah i believe so. VW say to replace the cluster would require programming for the keys. I had a warning light fault on a Ford a few years ago and the flexible circuit board just needed a bridge across a cracked track. Maybe it is something similar on a VW.

It gets better. Got the job done today at VW. Cost me £142 for new ABS unit that should have been £1100, so many thanks to VW. However, the warning lights still do not come on during the self-check on switch on or the switch in the centre console. The engineer investigated and found that...

Just to update incase any searches for the solution. Had it diagnosed as fault on ABS pump. The RAC warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on as they say it is "an inherent fault". The dealer turned out to be an Arthur Daley type so I approached VW. As a good will gesture they have a...

My sons car was exactly the same. I got a coupling from work used to couple two small shafts together that is clamped by a screw. Slipped it on the ball joit and clamped it, with plenty of grease.

4 year old Golf 1.4, ESP light came on and I had it analysed at a local garage, who came up with the following fault report:- 001435 Brake 1 pressure sensor (G201) (1435) MEM I am waiting for the warranty to come through before I progress it, but anyone know whats involved? Is it major...

Sorted. Borrowed some M14 X 1.5 taps, ran them through and new screw torqued up to required setting. Thanks to all who helped.

Don't you have a thread pitch gauge? Not me mate I'm an Electrician, but i'm sure someone will at work. Just thought someone might know off hand.

VW 1.4 Golf, 4 years old. They are actually screws, 5 per wheel, but one of them has has its thread damaged sometime in the past. I need to get a new screw and to run the correct size tap through the hole in the wheel hub. I work in engineering so would hope that one of my colleagues has the...

I have a Golf 1.4, 2006 reg. The ESP light on the dashboard came on today and has been on ever since, along with the light on the push button used to turn it off. I've googled it and read many horror stories, but I would be interested if anyone on here has come across it and what was the...

Where is that? Took the battery off for a few minutes but was still there.

Sorry, it is nearly 2 years old.
