Better than the local Sally Army!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lights working now!!! Thanks to all for the constructive suggestions (nuff said eh Allenm :D :D ) Apologies to crafty, I was convinced that after reading the leaflet that came with the lights which stated that the lights were wired in series that they all should have been and not in sets of...

Does that get a prize for the greatest number of words in a post? :lol: :lol:

Not parallel series. __x__x__x__x__!!!!!!! Series _____________ x x x x parallel _____________

Thats right 4 different series circuits - 3 work fine and the 4th 75% of the bulbs work but the last 25% don't. How can that be in a cricuit wired in series when the circuit is dependant on the "ring" being maintained? Lamps 1-30 are OK 31 to 40 don't work. I take your point wth the over...

Haven't tried these but they look good http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=50&products_id=790&osCsid=b80b305dad163f61db536f09a02ab483

Dont think it can be a short as they are on a multi stranded "loom"

Ok I know this is now a proper electrics question, but the reasoning for them not working is bugging me. 160 24v 0.25A outdoor multifunction lights ie 4 circuits in series each of 40 bulbs Circuit A, B & C are fine, D works for the first 30 bulbs but the last 10 dont, changed the bulb etc...

I too learnt the hard way with an SDS Max drill making a 30mm hole through stone. The going was hard so I used my shoulder to help push until the bit jammed next thing I know I'm lying on the floor with a bigh gash on my forehead and a little later on 5 stitches at casualty!!!! :oops: :oops:

I realize that the evil sheds do not necessarily sell the best quality goods or at the best prices compared to wholesalers, but in a emergency that have their place for getting branded products (obviously forget the service and expertise) that you would normally source elsewhere. After all (not...

No. Honest truth. I questioned the voucher at the checkout and they had to admit that there were no exclusions to items on sale except those mentioned on the voucher!! Just try it!!!

Thought I'd share this with you all. B&Q are running a 10% discount promo on "Christmas Items" at the moment. However if you read the terms and conditions unless you are buying a conservatory/kitchen or a few other items, there is nowhere that it says your 5l of Dulux emulsion or whatever else...

Right then off to the wholesaler for the blue plug & socket. Many thanks

You wont go far wrong with 5mm (No10) x 100mm (4") screws if these dont hold it up try rawl bolts if it's that bl**dy heavy. LOL

Sounds like aerated blocks you are into. Try longer screws and plugs. Look at these type of plug. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/cat.jsp?cId=101290&ts=08982

Can't find the link, but I know that if you had indicated and then cancelled the indicator, there is a judgement that although the other car pulled out it is your fault. I will continue to look for the ruling

This possibly be in the electrical forum but it is a tools question. I have a 160A welder, and have been welding at 115A (only using 3.2mm electrodes), but the 13A fuze keeps blowing. Should I have a dedicated 16A circuit for this with a blue 16A socket?

These batteries have a "New 100% guarantee,1 year Warranty". I guess if they are knackered in a couple of months I can replaced them?

I need to replace two 18v 2Ah NiCd Bosch batteries code 2 607 335 266 but have found out that the replacement is 2 607 335 680 a 2.4Ah NiCd. The price is £95plus VAT each!!!!! Almost as much as a replacement new drill. Have found some in http://www.a1-battery.co.uk at about £18 each although...

We have just completed a barn conversion and as part of the appcliation we had to do a "contaminated land survey" for a 1st floor extension above a lean to. How can they think that the air 8ft above the ground is possibly contaminated having accepted the original application is on a...
