The system before 1 April 2005 for cars registered after 1 March 2001 had four bands A to D. Your car is produces 126g/km of CO2 so was in diesel band A. Under the revised system from 1 April this year, new lower bands were introduced (only the Honda Insight is in A) so you are right in that...

My late grandparents called theirs the Glory Hole. I believe its a boating term.

I want one one of those Sunpipes! Did you get Moondraft to fit it or a local roofer (or DIY)? How long did it take to fit? What is the daylight like through it? Back to the electricals, I'm not an electrician and this is a personal opinion, but I don't think there would be a problem since...

A belated thanks. I just need a find a public-friendly wholesaler or retailer for JCC. There was one other issue I forgot at the time. The MK 4501 LV dimmer (single module grid dimmer) recommends a maximum of three transformers so I may stick to that limit. If I can't find JCC, IBL have...

Maybe you bought the same AEG oven as me. In the brochure it stated 13A and gave the impression a plug would be fitted. However, on receiving it, it has the same requirement as yours. It's not overkill: someone might want it swapped for a double oven later and thank you for the provision...

The best advice is probably going to be contact Marley, which I'll do tomorrow, but any extra opinion here first may be of help. A roofer told me that I can't use the tile vent because I will have imperial tiles and newer tiles are in metric sizes. There is supposedly enough of a variation in...

As part of my my long-running kitchen refurb, new plasterboard is going up (the old stuff is already down to help the electrcian). I will also be having flat channel ducting at ceiling height across a third of the length of the room for the cooker hood. I have bought 220x90mm ducting to give...

I will be putting in 6 x 50mm individual halogen downlighters, each with 35w bulbs and switched by a single MK 'LV' dimmer. The general consensus on this forum is to have more than one transformer in case of failure of one. I plan to have two as I cannot see the benefit of having one for...

Surely the fact that the freezer is plugged in would - in most cases - be enough to suggest the socket is not reasonably likely to power outdoor portable equipment? Especially if there is only one place for the freezer to go. Would any reasonable person be expected to unplug the freezer and...

Thanks for that. Not quite Sussex, I'm in suburban south London :lol:. Explains why the style is relatively more common in the south-east though.

I have these roof tiles made by Marley It seems the best way to duct the cooker hood out is through the roof. The hood is not mounted on an external wall and I don't think the wall-hung tiles would be easy to go through (straight up through the roof is an easier less bendy route anyway)...

Same 6mm size going to the consumer unit (and from there to the main water pipe) so this is being changed to 16mm and 10mm planned between the earth block and water pipe via the gas pipe. I don't fancy phoning the DNO again. While searching in vain for an electrician round here able to...

It's either TNS or possibly TNCS. It's the same as in the first and second diagrams but with the supply head too enclosed to tell without opening it up.

Thanks, always get good and quick replies here. The bonding isn't up to current standards and is going to be replaced by 10mm. James

One electrician giving a quote picked up that my bonding is on the wrong side but no others did. I know it should be on the customer's side but can anyone tell which side that would be from the arrangement in the picture? Both my pipe and the supply pipe come out of the solid floor so I...

I suppose this was a partly a 'how long is a piece of cable' question :) Thanks for the other posts, it seems there is no standard practice when it comes to folding back/twisting/neither. Only thing I might want to do with the repositioned socket is leave a little more length of exposed...

In a situation with two 2.5mm T&E cables entering a 25mm back box for a ring socket: How much grey sheath should be visible beyond the grommet (although depends on which entry hole is used)? What length of exposed red and black (or brown & blue) insulation should there be? Do you fold half...

'Domae' by Square D appears to be equivalent, at least in naming, to the brand 'Sentry' by MK. Go back on eBay and find new empty ones going for £15. If they're new and unused (or even if not), I would bung them back on individually if you think it's worthwhile for your time.

In fine tuning the cosmetic design side of my kitchen install, I'm unsure which cooker switch to go for. The existing cooker circuit has a 32A MCB and is wired in 4mm2 T&E. The existing set up has a cooker control unit with socket, then a nice capped diagonal :shock: run to the cooker outlet...

A belated thanks for this - it confirms that bonding in my kitchen is not needed (no boiler in there). Being picky, I don't completely agree with this, which was the reason for the post heading. A kitchen is notifiable, but it's not a 'Special Location' under either Part P or the wiring regs...
