    Dishwasher triping main switch

    Hello, It was sorted a while ago. In case any one has the same problem the problem was: The outlet was blocked, the water flowed into the overflow. That should have been OK but... unfortunately the manufacturer saved a bit of space by putting the pump motor in the overflow tray and so when...

    Pentium Types

    Thanks Doc, From what I can gather LGA is the newer and presumably better technology and should be cheaper to manufacture and therefore to buy. It's all about getting more power to the chip apparently. By the way, my current mobo needs upgrading too so it's not an issue. PCI Express SLI...

    Mains Cut Out

    Hello Guys I had an electrician visit the other day to check a few things and he didn't like what he found! It seems the previous house owner changed the old consumer unit for a new one but instead of using a cut out(?), used choc blocks. The sparky told me to get a cut out installed but...
