part " P " is led by a government initiative please do not try and make sense of it! there is no correallation between common sense and reason in this instance i'm sorry i cant make any clear path of reasoning in this particular muddy scenario spence :D

yep thats the chappy they should be able to help you out they have a part finder service...most useful best of luck and let us know how you get on!! :D

assuming you are wanting them to switch on at the same time as the main light then yes it would work

I am "guessing" that you have connected directly from the load side of the pullcord to the fan...in this case it is unsafe as the pullcord will more than likely be fed by a cable that has a fuse / mcb that has a rating of anything upto 50amps(dependent on shower model fitted)((and assuming...

the loop is the live adam :D

I'm in with ninebob and kev on this one...but i would include some form of horific death penalty just to put off any other i'm a celebrity so its ok to do whatever i like types...!! just me sorry have an 18 month old daughter and its fair to say my attitudes have hardened somewhat since her...

please accept my apologies in advance if i offend you but.... if you're assuming things that are'nt are you sure you are able to 'competently' do this modification? no insult intended just asking! :)

its definately advisable to have the mcb's in descending order form the main isolator switch if at all possible :idea:

i would advise "the something else route" purchase some new equally rated cable of the correct length to reach the socket and connect it directly to the new hob and plug as its not plugged in theres no risk of electrocution so you can take your time and ensure correct polarity within the...

all sounds rather strange to me if thats all your using at a time? sure theres not 150 10 KW showers out the back garden you'd forgotten about that are being used at once by you're locals? :D

not as long as your prepared for a bit of plastering afterwards simply chase out the old run of cable and fix it to the ceiling connected to your new pull cord switch obviously im not there to see accesssability above but im assuming you can pull the cable up into the ceiling space and re-feed...

just re-read the post :oops: as usual plugwash...you are spot on I missed on half the relevant points the poster made :oops: again sorry for confusing matters

for any one folowing this my fire is still working perfectly fantastic thanks to all that helped i.e kevplumb namsag etc your help was invaluable

on your new fixture you'll probably have a plastic tag block marked l(live) n(neutral and e(earth) leave all the red lives joined together,connect the red sleeved black cable to l(live) connect both black cable's to neutral and the earths to earth and...bingo! have fun+enjoy the new light

namsag you're a star!!!! :lol: and all else that pointed me to it found the little poxy F****ng hole under the gauze cage after all exactly where you said, did a bit of light poking with a slightly moistened pipe cleaner and a lot of blowing (compressed air tin through a straw) fire now...
