    advice for new tv aerial setup

    Well they had sky installed to all the rooms (satelite cable in all rooms) i guess they did this because there was no aerial socket?? I'm planning to remove the sky dish and cables at some point as I dont need satelite TV, just freeview is enough. So you think its def a tv socket there...

    advice for new tv aerial setup

    I checked when the house was completely empty and no aerial socket. Even the loft only has 1 cable going out and seems to lead to the bedroom. I'll try look again but it's not in any obvious place.

    can i use terminal blocks for fluorescent connections?

    i think i started this thread off very badly, forgive me as I was tired and working abroad and not doing the actual work till i'm back in a few days. ok so from the junction box, the cable (3 core) is too short to go to the first new fixture (has L/N/G) so rather than re-wire it (the wall is...

    can i use terminal blocks for fluorescent connections?

    I was a bit confused because there's 3 cable going into the rose, then another ground and live into the bulb holder. Surely I take the connection where the 3 cables are and not from here the wire connects to the bulb holder. That was where I was confused.

    can i use terminal blocks for fluorescent connections?

    It's already daisy chained with 1 switch. I'll leave the first rose and have 2 flex cables from the rose to the 2 new flourescent. The fixtures already have a neutral terminal on both, so guess I'll use the rose to connect like for like. I wasnt sure hence why I asked, I replaced all...

    can i use terminal blocks for fluorescent connections?

    Hence why this forum was created :) I can retain the roses and run the 3 cables to the fluorescent from them both. Ah in hindsight I worded it wrong, let me try again. Current setup: from junction box, 1 cable go up and feeds into the first rose, this rose is too short to go to the...

    heating water pump now not working

    I believe if I can fix something safely myself I will do it, this also saves money and I learn the in and outs of the problem. If it was a big job then I'll call in the pros of course. Thanks to Dan Robinson on here, I managed to fix my boiler problem saving loads money. It was the pcb...

    heating water pump now not working

    Thought I updated, found out that a ground cable was loose when the program panel was being removed from the wall. Somehow this made the pump work again And the over run is working too. Strange.

    heating water pump now not working

    So I guess my pump is knackered. Still doesn't explain why the pump overrun terminal is still showing 240 volts after 12 hours. Maybe my pcb faulty again? I just installed a new one 2 weeks ago

    thanks for that matt. This is now resolved! I suspected the reason why it was still running was the initial power up since i turned the power off. So left the central heating running then turned off, pump still on, after about 10-15mins (i didnt time it), the pump stopped. did another test...
