Hi guys, just looking for some advice. I have an alarm system installed on the house, which has 5 PIR's. I would like to add another PIR to this system, and was wondering if this is a simple job of connecting the wires up inside the PIR and inside the alarm panel. Or should I get an...

Why leave it off though? It has always been on up until this tripping problem. Would it not be best to figure out what’s wired to the MCB? P.s - about my kitchen cooker socket, I have had the socket on whilst cooking dinner, and the smell is a lot stronger in the cupboard. The switch is...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I don’t have anything electrical wired up outside, so it’s definitely nothing getting wet. I have a Combi boiler, so it’s not an immersion causing this problem. I put the MCB back on, and checked a few hours later to find that it had tripped yet again...

Hi guys... I took down the main ceiling light today, and turned the power back on leaving the wires hanging out the ceiling whilst decorating. I went to turn the wall lights on, and they didn’t come on. Now, I had previously been looking into removing all 3 wall lights, but had no way of...
