    Reliable shower brand

    I think Triton was the brand I was going to avoid (but I'm being unfair), due to the thermal cutout sensor tripping when it shouldn't. 75°C and avoid Aqualease Anyway, I want this shower for an E7 flat. I think that is the right thing to do ?

    new 43" TV with SCART?

    The TV I purchased in 2012, while it didn't have a massive scart connector, as least had a short lead so I could plug one in. My HDD video recorder allows me to skip adverts at the press of a button, so I wouldn't be without it. Also like the series link and automatic title search word...

    5 core induction hob cable (1.5mm?) to 10mm supplied cooker outlet

    Just goto B&Q to get your heat resistant flex (HO5BB-F or HO3V2V2-F) must be cheaper! £19 for loads (not for collection though) https://www.diy.com/departments/time-white-heat-resistant-3-core-flexible-cable-2-5mm-x-5m/188974_BQ.prd https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/hob-wiring.652400/

    new 43" TV with SCART?

    I was hoping to purchase a Panasonic TV in BF sales. Before purchasing, I thought I just best check it has a SCART port for use with my beloved HDD video recorder, and it hasn't! Are they still making TV's with SCART? Are adaptors cables available? Any recommendations please ?

    5 core induction hob cable (1.5mm?) to 10mm supplied cooker outlet

    And where do we stand on the fact that the 1.5mm flex is only 1 meter long, in free air. Does that still mean it needs a 16A MCB John? Also consider that the conductors are doubled up in this case. (only at one end though). 1 driving 2 'hot plates' and 1 driving the other pair. Yes, if you get...

    5 core induction hob cable (1.5mm?) to 10mm supplied cooker outlet

    You don’t need to crimp them. It’s usually how it’s done when it leaves the factory though. (So maybe why it’s in the manual )

    5 core induction hob cable (1.5mm?) to 10mm supplied cooker outlet

    OP. I know it sounds crazy! But just connect it up. It’s common for hobs to come with 5 or 6 core flex. As said, made for Euro spec, but can also be used in UK.

    advice on lighting circuit please

    Yes. That is probably the proper way. I note there are some spare holes in the bottom by the white wires. You maybe able to push wires in there (but not remove them in a hurry ) Some /most would call that a bodge. I would call it more reliable as there are less joints.

    advice on lighting circuit please

    The easy way is to find the last light with only 1 cable and run from that

    Shared earth conductor

    When I previously asked, it wasn't a problem. Just need to ensure the cpc is thick enough to cope with the biggest cable/circuit

    Age of installation

    I'm not sure that 6mm is tinned. Anyway, it's metric cable, and green/yellow sleeve. So sometime after 1974 The fact is has 30ma, points to 80's
