    Replacing the Kitchen

    No disrespect to the op but i'm a professional spark and have to say from looking at the pictures the installation is shocking! Very poor installation work and alot of things that make me cringe when i look at the pics! If an niceic assessor (or other scheme assessor) was shown around this job...

    Electric sHock !!! Was I lucky ??

    Before i touch any conductors i ALWAYS test! The amount of shocks i would have had if i didnt. You wouldnt believe what people do - most common are sockets fed off lighting circuits, lights fed off sockets - some people tap off whatever is easiest circuit to get a supply from. And even if...

    Dont be fooled into paying Megger silly amounts of money for a simple fuse £33.67 is daylight robbery!!! Do your homework - RS do them at £6 each just re-read the previous post - 2 packs of 5 for £33.67 (£3.36 each) is pritty good! As previously said - look around!

    Shower Woes... keeps tripping trip switch

    You failed to say what KW rating the shower is, you sure its 10mm not 6mm cable? It will most likely be the wrong size circuit breaker being used, its being overloaded! Power / Voltage = Current On an 8.5Kw on 230v = 8500 / 230 = 37Amps so a 40A breaker would be used providing the correct...

    Earth / Neutral fault on Lighting Circuit

    Any good spark should be able to find this- although it can take time depending on the size of the circuit. Is this on the upstairs or downstairs lighting circuit? If upstairs get yourself in the loft and look for some JB's. Likewise if on the downstairs lights see if you can trace the wiring...

    Fused neutral

    Not sure when it changed, before my time! Its amazing how technology has advanced in the last 30 years with what we use nowadays. Be careful with these when removing the fuse (well it should be sealed so you shouldnt be able to!), i was at one the other day and pulled the fuses - one of the...

    ECUs are a common problem on combo's but are easily removed - just a couple of bolts holding it on. Had my combo 18 months and have had a faulty ECU, alternator and one of the coil springs snapped.

The only way is by socket - does anyone know what size you need? The biggest...
