Thanks for the reply, and yes I was aware of that at least. I remember being told when I was young that sockets should always be vertical and never anything else so that anybody would be able to deduce where the cable would run and thereby avoid it if doing any work on the house drilling etc...

I suspect that's why the last electrician put the spur socket off the cooker switch for the washing machine.

I appreciate its not straight forward! The wiring for the cooker switch can't go straight up as there's a window above it! Plus the cooker cable outlet isn't below the switch but about 2 feet diagonally downwards! We've just had a look and can't see any way to get power to this outside...

There's no ring anywhere near to the washing machine. The kitchen is a flat roof extension and the cooker circuit is the only wiring. Any other idea's?

Thanks for the reply. I figured that the best solution was to plug the washing machine in to another socket but I don't think there is another one anywhere near to the washing machine hence why I guess the electrician put the fused spur off the cooker socket. Would a solution be to have a...

A very quick drawing that hopefully explains it a bit better.

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask, this is what they currently have. I don't think its quite right but apparently it was done by an electrician about 15 years ago. The cooker switch has had 2.5mm t+e wired to the incoming side of the cooker switch which then runs down the wall (below the...

Oh and I should add (from memory) I don't think the CU is split load. Its very small and as previously mentioned only has about 6 or so Mcb plus the RCD. For info its a Memera 21.

Do you have any info to add to my last response please? I will be seeing the outlaws again this afternoon so would good to have all the info to tell them. Thanks :D

Texted and reply back from outlaws as follows: 100amp 30ma covers whole house as its not a split load CU.

Thanks very much for the reply. Their CU has an RCD on the main busbar, would this be sufficient? Its all MCB but quite old and from memory only has about 6 or 8 mcb's and an RCD as it is quite a small house.

Thanks for the reply. Yes to clarify Hob and oven are separate. Oven - New world NW601FP http://www.newworldappliances.co.uk/built-in-ovens/60cm-single-ovens/nw601fp/ Hob - Whirlpool AKM359NE http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/whirlpool-akm359ne-ceramic-hob-black-06693725-pdt.html

My outlaw's oven has packed up so they went to Currys and ordered a new oven and a matching hob and paid for installation. When Curry's turned up they looked at the wiring (which is a single cooker cable outlet below the worktop from a cooker switch above the worktop) and said "we can't...

[/url] Thanks for that. Confirms what I thought.

1.2 m x 1.8 m x 150mm c20 (1:2:4). Allowing for wastage, 6 cement, 12 sharp sand and 24 aggregate? Seems a lot for what seems to be a relatively small volume (0.324m3). ???

Many thanks Oilhead. :D

Thanks Oilhead for the reply. Can you possibly clarify if there is any specific way to replace the head? I.e. Do you put the valve into manual and locked or leave it on Auto? etc etc. :?:

I also whipped out the motor as it makes a buzzing sound. It did not motor at all but is free to rotate. And if I understand it correctly the sliding toothed plate which engages with the motor pinion and has a flat angled section on the end that presses onto the microswitch should move all...

Thanks to both of you for the replies. :D

The wire white is connected to the white wire from the other valve (HW) on the junction box but neither are connected to anything else.
