Is it a new shower or has it justy started to fail? Its probably fine, the hotter you select the water to be, the slower it will come out, selecting a very high temperature will limit the flow to a slow trickle on most electric showers.

If the worst came to the worst surely you can replace the element, this would be cheaper than a new cooker. The elements can be had for £20-£30.

On a recent rewire (Scotland) the drawings stated 30l/s for WC's so I presume thats the norm.

Can you get near the connections and take some pics? I doubt it would need rewired if it has originally been wired in Twin & Earth, but thats a total guess without seeing the installation. The taped up joints are a bit rough but not doing any harm. £120 for LED's seems a lot of money but if...

Thanks for taking the time to look, appreciated. :)

Hi, I was looking to replace a 2 wire thermostat to a drayton easy 3s programmable stat. Below is the wiring guide, was wondering if someone could advise me on the connections. The L&N supply won't be a problem, its more the 2core coming from the boiler. Wiring diagram:- Existing...

Looks lke Merlin Gerin/Schnider?

White's always been the interlink connection on the ones I've done. If you know blacks N, one would assume red is L. Not a good idea to assume things though :wink:

As above really, you could turn the settings down to minimum/test mode to save you waiting and ensure its on detection mode. Failing that the fittings probably had it, 8 quid and the winter we've had its probably no surprise :lol:

Are you 100% sure its the TV, does your power trip when TV is off? It could be another appliance is at fault and your tv is enough to take it over the (presumed)30ma current. Does it still trip when it is JUST the tv plugged in to your sockets.

Ive been smokefree for 18months now after 15yrs on the ciggies. Best thing I ever did! :D

Who's all lucky and got the festive period off? I'm standby 31st & 1st, until then it will be mince pies n beer all the way :lol: Happy Xmas.

Bin your neon driver and go and buy a plug-in socket tester.

It does get quite tedious hearing it on every other reply posted, what about a pop up when Electrics UK is selected on the forum menu and user has to "agree" to reading the Part P info.

Similar to you, I tend to cut most of the back out of the single fastafix boxes.

If the garage is through the wall drilling a hole right through (the size of the fitting) may be an option, the smaller LED decking lights will possibly be easier to fit and tbh may look better than a bulky fitting. If you were going down this route I'd be tempted to cut a square out where you...

It'll be a nightmare channelling the brick and then replastering, thats presuming the bricks deep enough. Is both sides brick? if one side is plasterboard/stud you may get away with putting them in there. Failing that is on the actual step an option, could be a can of worms stripping down the...

For starters try www.screwfix.com www.tlc-direct.co.uk You could also find your local electrical wholesaler, CEF, Newey & Eyre (ross electrical), Edmunsons to name a few.

I fitted a dimplex panel heater with built in timer, to my folks conservatory last month, I'm sure its 2KW with the option of reducing it to 1KW, Its heating it up nicely, even in -17 degree temperatures :shock: They set it to come on before they get up in the morning so its not like an ice...

Heres a few pics, not has a chance until now. The boiler. Directly above is the cylinder Directly below boiler ( under floor) is the manifolds In the attic is the tanks The pics probably aren't great. Would putting a cleaner in then drain/refill be...
