Okay thanks. Its basically because its an old DAB but doesnt have much stations on it. Was just to use alexa for playing the radio.

Okay. What if I left it as it is, could I connect it to the aux input on the stereo?

Hi I have an old stereo system in my workplace which has speakers with bare wire connections into the back of it. The speakers are in the corners of the ceiling. Would it be possible to connect these speakers, via an adaptor to the 3.5mm output on my echo dot & do away with the old stereo system?

I have just replaced the damaged wires and re-instated switch as it was. I changed the bulb and checked. All is good. I will need to sort out the wiring in the switch though as that wall is coming down soon and just need a single switch. Looking at it, I think Ill add a spacer to the switch due...

Here is the ceiling rose

Thanks. Looking at the switch is there anything obvious that would have suddenly started causing the fuse to blow? Could it be something as simple as the bulb has blown?

Hi. There is enough length there I can cut and re-connect the damaged red. The blue I dont need as it used to be 2 sets of lights but I removed one. Yes the earths are all connected to the back box

There is 2 switches as there used to be wall lights and ceiling rose. I removed the wall lights and pulled the cabling up through the walls and disconnected it from the light switch. Looking at it from the back, the left hand side of the pic is the switch I dont need but the right hand side of...

Here is a drawing of whats there now

Here is the light switch that keeps blowing the fuse all of a sudden.

I will check again tomorrow but if I remember right there is a chock block that the blacks are connected to. There is 3 cables coming in. Each cable has red, black and earth. 2 reds are connected to com, & the other to L1. The blacks are in the chock block. Cant remember exactly so Ill need to...

Okay Ill need to take a look in day light tomorrow. Just seems strange I reconnect broken earths on one switch then a different one is causing the fuse to blow. Only reason I know they were at one time connect is because the 3 of them were wound together but 2 of them had snapped

So maybe the dining room switch was always the problem but the bathroom one was somehow “disguising” it. Now Ive fixed one, its now telling me that the other is at fault?

Hi Okay I will do this tomorrow in day light. Why would reconnecting the earths on one switch cause a different switch to blow the fuse?

I dont know how long they had been broken but as soon as I removed the switched I noticed it

Hi This is the pic of the switch prior to re-connecting the earth (I did put a green/yellow sleeve back on). That earth was fine but there was another 2 I noticed had snapped. I managed to get enough wire out to rejoin it. It looked as if the earth had snapped due to it being bent so much. There...

Hi. Nothing was actually changed in the light switch I worked on, I only re-connected the earth wires

Hi Yesterday I got a shock from my bathroom light switch. I took the switch off & noticed there were a couple of broken earth wires. Luckily there was enough length in the cable to be able to cut it and re-connect them. All was fine, but then I switched on my dining room light and it blew the...

She says she never used to have to switch on or off hot water so maybe immersion was on permanently

She said she used to use the immersion but its been that long she cant remember what switches were on and which were off. Theres one in kitchen & one (i think) on the cylinder. She never used to have to switch anything off or on so am assuming it was maybe always on?
