Sorry Dan - can't get a picture to you until tomorrow night.

Need your help yet again please folks. Replacing a bath. Bathroom is above the kitchen, which has been extended. Both kitchen and bathroom are at the back of the house. The pitched roof for the extension extends from the outside wall of the bathroom. The existing waste pipe was 32mm...

Thanks Chris - that may also explain why they are having trouble with the temperature, since they have a combi. Mystery solved - nice one! Many thanks....

Darren, Is the outhouse attached to your main building, or separate? How is the circuit arranged with respect to the lights and heater? (you mention a toilet too but I'm guessing that's gas rather than electric :lol: ) Is there any form of small consumer unit, or is there simply a junction...

Any thoughts? All help gratefully received.

Any ideas at all guys?

Sorry, not a very good description ! The right hand-side as you look at it has what looks to be a shut-off valve. The plastic internals seem to have some form of pressure shut-off (?), and my guess is that there are some rubber seals or similar in thre that I can replace, but obviously with my...

Need your help please guys. Friend of mine has a mixer shower that he bought 2-3 years ago, make unknown. About 12 months ago it stopped cutting off the hot water when he turned off the shower. I've popped round to check it out, and I suspect it can be fixed, hence my plea to you guys ! I...

Happy to learn on this one, Secure. I see two ways: 1) cable direct into dishwasher 2) cable into connection plate, which provides connection for cable into dishwasher. I know a 3rd way is to connect the FCU to a single sockect outlet, which then means the dishwasher gets a plug put on it.

I tend to wire them into an Fused Connection Unit, fused at 13 amp. This sits above the worktop. The cable from the dishwasher is chased into the wall above the worktop, and emerges below (fairly obious I know). The installation instructions with the dishwasher may suggest a method.

Thanks all - very much appreciated. :D

ColJack - many thanks for swift response. My bathroom has an opening window, though it is the smaller upper window that opens, rather than the larger lower window. How do I tell if this gives me 15l/sec extraction (I did do SOME reading before I asked my question :) ) Thanks again...

Hi - need your help please. I've done a search and not found the answer. Someone (civil engineer) recently told me that I must have an extractor fan in my bathroom. Is this correct ? Many thanks....

John - many thanks. My door is unfortunately not sprung, although everything else is the same as your door. HandyHands - perhaps you could email me if you prefer not to publish this info. Once again - many thanks...

Next time I'll read the post carefully :oops:

What about a pop-up, RF? I've used these before.

John - thanks for the reply, I'm afraid I don't quite understand (must be Alzheimers kicking in early). How do you mean "push the cable" ?

Hi - need your help please! Up and over panel garage door, standard locking mechanism (I've no idea what it may be referred to as, sorry). Garage door lock and release mechanism was replaced recently. The cable from the back of the lock appears to have come away, and no longer moves the two...

Cool - I've spurred mine off the downstairs ring, which cleary is RCD protected. Many thanks...

I hear what you're saying, Plug & Bernard, and I'm keen to learn. Is a 13amp FCU reasonable protection ?
