surprised its an X from 2010 I thought an EV would require another type of RCD anyway, so SP least of the issues

Arh. The unvented ones

TBH I have some 2.5mm T&E (it's actually bigger) going to an immersion of 2011 vintage. I don't recall a fight with the cable clamp

Probably a professional. It has the advantages of: 1) The wires are going to stay where they are when doing them up 2) allows you to get more wires into the junction. 3) Better electrical joint (particularly when used on a socket ring) as there is no actual joint on that bit of wire, just a tap...

Who the hell uses a 13A fcu for an immersion. Madness

I'd go with a full powered hob. You have a 32A supply. in the unlikely event you have problems, some hobs have program options to limit their current anyway. or just don't use as many 'hot plates'

fibreglass datasheet said it was heavier, which put me off.

Can't say I have noticed a different spread of light with them. They are certainly worth trying before throwing away a quality fixture, and replacing it with something that will only last a matter of months.

Led ones fail a lot. Just fit led replacement lamps. I recommend brand called diall

So is the heating working as expected ? Is the water getting way hotter than usual ?

Not included in the plan. I renewed in May. And I was specifically looking for it. Anyway, I've got the BG socket working again. On the same SSID. Getting 10Mbps in Kitchen which is adequate. (nothing without repeater) Think I need to put it back to another SSID, to prevent closer devices to...

Yeah I could do that. EE like to charge a monthly sub for WiFi extenders.(not a fan of subscriptions) I was hoping to pick one up off eBay and get it to work!

Existing router is an EE smart hub plus (few months old) There is just one dead spot , so wanted to put the booster in the middle. I think it use to do the trick in terms of WiFi range when first installed. However I was never convinced the phones switched between the WiFi networks in a...

Turning the mcb off and on has got some life back. Need to use iPhone to setup, not Win11. Once setup, I get a fast flashing blue light (which I think means its not connected to router)

Arh. Sounds all good then regarding my worries. They aren't valid. Bit surprised there is no 30mA RCD in the garage protecting the garage sockets. Do you plug anything interesting into the garage sockets? Lawn mower, extension leads etc....

I purchased one of these years ago. BG? It seemed to be slow, (N300) so I disabled it over 2 years ago. Just tried to re-enable it by pressing the button 3 times and it appears dead. I just wondered if there were any recommendations for other USB extender sockets, or should I just replace it...

Is there currently an RCD protecting the garage supply in the house? As that will trip if you have a fault in the shed. It could get annoying. having to reset a house RCD, goto the garage and reset RCD, and then back to the shed. Only to find out it trips again. That could get really annoying...

twist it upside down ? Save getting any of the wires wrong

I like ones where the terminals are on the bottom. Stops switches filing up with plaster dust and also makes installation a tad easier. Like legrand myself

I thought you were going to ask for a quiet switch
