So you went the long way home then conny, you should of turned right, "A" roads for a good few miles but you would of been in liverpool quicker i would think

Ban please don't litter my thread with your constant endless quoting and answering questions with more questions, i'm just looking for alternative views and opinions on what works best in practice. Yes the cables are in allowable routes Cables are correctly sized for the circuits involved...

They are problems which can have various solutions hence why i asked for advice, Londonboy answered my questions with his chosen method, why can't you ?

Now the 17th regs have been in for awhile, i was just wondering what is working out the "best working practice" in relation to consumer unit, and circuit protection. We are just starting a rewire on a 4 bed detached property that has just been extended, some exsisting cable routes will be...

If the radiators have trv's try swapping one off a rad in a "warmer" room

Probably something like the old shear grabs for silage

If it is a complete revamp /improvement etc, would the original patent apply, i thought the way a lot of companies get round patents is to incorporate changes into the design, not sure how different your design would need to be, might be worth investigating

We have briefly considered underfloor heating, but thought it would involve digging up all the exsisting floors in the original part of the house. Is it considered a good option nowadays, how does it compare in price over conventional rads

When i say concerned about cold spots, i mean we don't want the kitchen area to feel cold due to lack of rads I can see the logic of wide heat emitters, but with such a large open plan area, there is a lack of usable wall space, or rads will end up behind furniture Is it still common...

Steering boxes can be found on some of the japanese type pick-ups (car-size) or smaller 4 wheel drives, or another possibility might be something off a ride- on lawn mower

Just browsing, off work again, and noticed your last post, i'm sure the experts will be along soon, but the B6 mcb doesn't sound right, 6 amp is more like a lighting circuit, and is not suitable for the heating element of a washing machine. Has someone fitted an additional socket, from the...

Are the heater plugs actually working have you checked they are getting power and for how long What are the actual symptoms of not starting is it winding over at normal speed and just not firing, is it winding over to slowly, could be starter or wiring problem, is it winding over to quickly...

Some of these emission warning light type faults can sometimes be cured by a "good thrashing" get the exhaust system really hot to burn out all the deposits, it doesn't mean you have to drive at high speeds to achieve this but drive in lower gear at higher than normal revs, obviously use common...
