    Has Part P gone too far?

    Did you not bother to read this part? You can use pretty much anything in an unsafe way, and the things that are banned/restricted can be purchased with a little digging around. On further thinking what is really needed is more readily information for homeowners. Perhaps a information...

    Has Part P gone too far?

    OK how do you propose that legislation will work when people can just go out and buy whatever they please? Some places already restrict gas fittings to CORGI registered only. Then again everything is doomed to fail while the nations BCO continue to make the rules up as they go along most dont...

    Has Part P gone too far?

    Except a CU change to a modern more sensitive piece of equipment can bring about a whole host of problems all of its own. so the spark is only covering his own back by saying it would require full test/inspect and appropriate remedial action.

    External lighting with conduit.

    Could you not use a Conduit Terminal box and cut a 20mm hole in the lid to accept a M20 compression gland. However you can in most cases screw the gland into a female connector but i would check as this varies between manufacturers, tis all down to personal preference.

You will be seriously ****ed off when those borrowed neutrals etc trip your RCDs every time you switch...
