£0.99 from someone who dont want it anymore.

you sure? though you get them from the plumb center?

Do an insulation resistance test on the black rubber insulated circuit's. if it reads below 0.5Mohms then i would investigate further. remember to open all switches and remove all loads.. i.e. lamps and unplug everything. carlos

Yes, i was thinking if Hengist wanted to move the supply equipment as well. A lot of old installations are under the stairs which is usually not very accessible. carlos

Out of interest, are there any courses you can go on to get a qualification in boilers and air conditioning units? carlos

A fully qualified electrician is able to replace the consumer unit. However if you want the MET moved you will have to phone the supply company and ask them to do that. carlos

Thankyou for your help, i will try it now-and yes i am using windows XP. Sorry i didn't write it correct. No it's not to translate from english to greek. i just need the alphabet, makes spelling much easier! all i want to be able to do is change my keyboard layout. thanks, carlos

As i only said, only if a building inspector requests them to be fitted, otherwise no. A lot of other electricians who i have spoken to have never heard of them and/or don't know what they are and have never seen them. Just ensure you do everything to prevent a fire starting where you have...

gcx51, There the ones we used on a job...the fitting is very big-did have a few problems with them fitting in a ceiling with a flat located above was not enough room for it to go up! however i do recommend them as the spring fixture on them is very strong. Regarding your comment Mr...

Hello, I am not sure how to setup a different language on the computer. I need to be able to type english and change it to modern greek when e-mailing friends from cyprus. When i was in an Internet cafe.. i had the option to change. How do i go about this? Thanks, Carlos

Look on the 'Low Voltage Downlight' page http://www.shopelectrical.co.uk/electrical/index.html?lang=en-uk&target=d30.html carlos

Mr Winston, Thanks also for that info! When it was discussed with other employee's and wholesalers we never went into that depth. Learn something new everyday! I learned another thing today also never carry a screwbox over a main road.....Glad the police took it in good humour and helped me...

Hello, For starters they only stop the spread of fire for approx 30mins... We installed some in a kitchen (30 downlights) was a nightmare to install... took 2 times as long to put the hoods on that to wire up the transformers and downlights! However it is correct on what they said about...

You cant touch the electricity meters.. it belongs to the supply company however i've seen many people move them anyway. However you can move the fusebox away from the supply companys equipment at a maximum of 2metres. usually costs maybe... £300 to install new fuseboard and an extra £200...

Breezer, I totally agree with you... i take away a lot of information from this forum and use it day in day out. I notice your from Luton, i done a job at Pepperstock just outside Slip End-is that close to you? Do you also work around that area? maybe you could e-mail me if you don't...

Breezer, I wasn't being sarcastic, i was not aware of that. I just assumed you could take the maximum load e.g.200W and use the next up rated dimmer in this case 250W. Thanks again, carlos

Thanks breezer.... learn something new everyday.. i never knew that about dimmers! carlos

Hi, I'm guessing you have a Feed in and Feed Out and a switch line. Therefore the way you have wired it is correct. The rating of dimmer is also correct. Only thing i can suggest is that the dimmer is faulty. Try re-wireing it into a standard 1gang 1way or 2way switch and see if it...

Hello, I turned on the tumble dryer and after maybe 2minutes it took the RCD out in the house.. After that the tumble dryer just takes it out straight away without even been turned on. This means there is a potential difference between earth and neutral. I took the back off to find 1 of the...

Many thanks for your replies, -I disconnect the jets and nothing comes out. (however still noise from the pump) -It is not frozen. Regarding to what laldog posted. There is no access for me to get to this gromet. Obviously i am not a car mechanic and it would be wrong for me to interfere...
