Thanks for the reply. So the rose in the picture is in the attic and the light switch is in the landing below. My guess is the wiring runs under the floorboards in the attic then up under the roof insulation to the rose. What if I did away with the rose and just used Wagos? 2x 3 ports for...

Hi guys, I have a single ceiling light in the attic which I believe to be the end of the loop? If I wanted to add another light in the attic, how can I take a feed from this rose? With basic understanding of electrics I gather that the rose has a live, neutral and earth coming from the...

Your advice worked a treat today Pete. Thanks. Have another one for you that whilst I got it working today, did baffle me a bit. It was an old lighting that had 2 separate earths and 3 wires coming from it. Of the 3 wires there was obviously a live and a neutral and I assume a 3rd earth? As...

Thanks a million Pete. I'm not at the house now and won't be until Tuesday, but I will report back and if not, I've blown myself up! (haha joking).

Hey guys, Two ceiling roses are wired as per picture. If replacing them with a ceiling light can someone explain to me how I can do this using Wago connectors? At my disposal I have 3-way connectors but can nip to Screwfix if need others. Thanks.

I *think so* because I recall him mentioning them, but I don't know for sure.

You have me thinking about causation when you mentioned a kettle. I placed a PerfectDraft beer dispenser/cooler over that joint during Christmas and I wondering if the heat from it caused the issue? Just guesswork at this point and not really relevant as the damage is done.

Thanks for the info. it never was a perfectly flush joint tbh, there was always a slight lip and with wiping the surface etc maybe that’s allowed water to penetrate the joint and blow it? Because it was never flush I just assumed the joint was too tight. But what you say makes sense. The...

Hi all, I have feeling that the lifting at this mitre joint on a laminate worktop is due to excessive strain from the bolts below as opposed to be blown from water exposure. But that is only my opinion and I'd like the thoughts of you experts. If I am right in that the bolts are too tight...

Big THANKS to @Stuckinarut and @Madrab for their help on this. It was critical that I get the heating system up and running as walls needed dried for floor fitters coming. I really appreciate your time. Thanks also to @trojanhawrs. Good people do still exist in the world!

One last question. I’ve topped it up too much to 2.5 bar. How to do I discharge some water?

Ok guys thats it sorted. As you said, that flexi was the right one. I refitted radiator, bled it and then when I put the heating on and opened the shut off valve it refilled nicely. Can’t thank you guys enough! Legends.

I think that has worked and the flexi wasn’t faulty at all. I was expecting to hear the gushing of water the way it does on my own at home. I will update you when the radiator is back on and bled. Thanks again.

No I took a photo of how it looked before I did anything.

Sorry I meant when I open it all I get is a weep. There is no water through it. I noticed at the top end of it the compression fitting has a nipple on it. Does that mean anything?

Thanks. When I open it a 1/4 turn I’m just getting a weep from the screw.

Close Up of flexi

Hi mate. Thanks for the reply. It’s a Logic System 18 gas boiler. The only flexi hose is lower down and seems shut off by default.

I'm not at the property atm but will be back early in the morning. There are other valves out of picture tbh. I just assumed as it was beside the pressure gauge it was the correct one. Thanks for the response though.
