    Is this normal Electrical hazard

    And your point being! For the record our plug was a switched one and yes with hindsight it should have been switched off before removing the plug. 6 months ago the same plug was not a switched one and it was only changed due to a kitchen refurb. Many people are not fortunate enough to be able to...

    Is this normal Electrical hazard

    Good point, I thought all new products came with moulded plugs. I certainly did not put this plug on and if you look closely you will see that it looks like it was factory fitted. I have checked on the Internet regarding this particular iron and nowhere does it mention a moulded plug. It...

    Thanks Conny I didn't realise about the delayed reaction but I will keep an eye on her, but as she was an SRN they tend to take things in there stride. The iron is only about 6 months old.

    Is this normal Electrical hazard

    External floodlight

    We think the stand alone passive was to catch somebody at the rear of the house. Bit pointless as the flood wouldn’t light up the rear garden.

    Sorry I should have said consumer unit tripping, old light never worked. My sons house and he only moved in about 6 months ago. On second thoughts maybe old light was OK and it was just a blown fuse. Cable to light is round white 5 inserts

    Im no expert but in the past I have replaced battery and fitted new internal alarm. Could I not simply disconnect garage sensor at the box end and try that. I just wonder if the underground cable to the garage has been damaged

    Yes 3 other PIRS. when you say light up I take it you mean the sensors on the pir, yes they do light up. When I enter the code on the display the only number which lights up is the garage one. Is this a problem?
