Let me guess it’s a Karcher HD series? A place I used to work for, had one that went through 1 or 2 fuses a month, when it threw its hand in, it was replaced with a newer version, and that one used to eat fuses, like you describe. The funny thing is I kept the old one repaired it and use it...

Ok fair point. But any work on a lighting circuit, would not require a warrant, in any type of domestic building. p.s. yes i have just looked that up.

As far as I know, the building warrants do not require notification for diy electrical work.

As Fife is in bonny scotland, english building regs don't come into it, so it's not notifiable

When you say, put insulation tape over connection boxes, do you mean these? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/67781/Electrical-Supplies/Cable-Accessories/Connectors-Blocks/CED-15A-Terminal-Blocks-Pack-of-10# If so don't tape them up they should live in one of these...

sorry mate my computer is on a go slow today, nobody had posted a reply when i started typing.

I would say it's got to be the socket, assuming no wires are getting traped/crushed as it gets screwed down, the back box is deep enough isn't it?

Socket for a Shower :shock:

Yes a new socket by the sound of it.

As the wires have been conected to com and L1, it should be off in the off position, so the switch has been fitted upside down, maybe I should have said turn it the right way up :!:

turn the switch upside down

Flick the switch off and on a few times, and then try the test button.

Granted yes, but how the hell has he got the light to work without a neutral :?:

I took this to mean at first not, but has since connected the neutral.

Yes but that's a different story :wink:

I think you've got a duff photocell to be honest.

Well it looks like you are using the right thing. For some reason i thought you where making it from components, and had got the wrong type of photocell(it's been a long day) What you've done should work, could be a duff photocell, try swaping the live feed with the out first.

What type of photocell are you using? There are photocell's that give an output when light is shining on the cell. I'm assuming you want this light to come on when it is dark.

It's on TT supply's

Are you saying the PSC of your 16mm sub main, is not enough to pop a service fuse :?:
