yes it is, theres 2 going into 1. one fire has been taken out and not in use and the other is a back boiler fire so must be from that. thanks

i have a outside light thats i put up on the back off the house that operates from a switched fuse spur in the kitchen, now i want an extra one on the side of the house, whats easiest way? i was going to have another cable coming out the light going to the next but its too tight to get both...

alright there, ive recently been up in my loft and noticed all this white stuff on the brick work, but its only on the gable end detached side of the house. im thinking its damp, is it bad do i need to do anything.. ive attached pictures. i also went ouside on that side of the house and right at...

ive no idea how old the fuse is ive lived here a year and never changed it, even if it was just a old fuse would it still trip out the mcb as well?

the heating control for my back boiler (the digital control for setting the on/off times) there is a single mcb at the cu labelled boiler & program. that tripped out and also the fuse spur for the control has blown. i have now flicked the switch at the cu back on and replaced the fuse so it is...

my heater control at home has tripped out its gone through the fused spur and cut out at the cu.... ive flicked it back on at the cu and ill put a new fuse in the fused spur and ill presume it'll work again.. what my question is is why did it trip out in the first place? its never done it before.

i dont know what i thought at the time for doing it, just thought it'd be best. now i know otherwise. thanks for all your advice.

hi i have a pc and i have reformatted it but norton anti virus 2005 is buit in on reformat and it not come off ive tried using the add/remove but that dont work anyone know how to get it off?

i just thought to join the earths up... no paticular reason. is it good practice to use at least one earth though on a metal back box or doesn't it matter?

that makes sense i thought it was along those lines... would be better in conduit... the metal back box had an earthing terminal attatched to it so i presumed it was best to use it. also i got told metal box's need to be earthed where plastic ones dont.. ill take one off though if both...

whats the reason for that ( curiosity) also in your opinion does it all sound right to you as in regards being wired up and the 3a fuse ( taking the extra earths out.)

well ive got 2.5 and 1.5 twin/earth cable running outside the house aabout 2 meters up.. and i joined the earth cables to the back box because i got told if its metal earth it if its a plastic back box then its not neccessary. no the back box is inside in the wall in the kitchen.

yes i have run the 1.5mm up the wall outside from the fused switch inside... take it thats not allowed.. it was a bit crowded in that box ill disconnedt the extra earths if there not needed.

ive put a switch in the kitchen for the light outside today but the light not come on.... could be due to it being an old pir light, i dont know... what i would like to know is, is there anything wrong with how ive done it..... or does it sound like the lights nackered.. getting a new one...

well thanks for all that but just plugging it in sounds like a good easy option to me! i havent been doing my course that long, got to start somewhere.

i got told there is a plug device in b&q that checks for such as that. its orange and looks like a plug! obviously used for something else.. how am i able to check then if either off my double sockets are a spur off a spur or just on a ring?
