Pip - there appears to be a flaw in your calculation. 21 guineas = £22.05 based upon 1 guinea being £1 and 1 shilling i.e. £1.05. Returning to the topic in question, we had a 1994 Xantia SXTD for about 4 years, and never once had any problems with the handbrake. Maybe due to the fact that...

I recently purchased a pair of tyres from the my-tyre website. Price was cheaper than local Kwik Fit/National Tyres etc, and I got Firestones (mid-range, I guess) for a cheaper price that the 'chains' could do budget brands that I'd never heard of, and the tyres arrived on my doorstep within a...

Last time, I found a small shock to be quite enlightening, with no VF apparent albeit my heart did beat a bit faster...... Needless to say, the power will be off before investigating and I will be seeking to avoid any further shocks. :lol:

I'll be sure to do that. I am tempted to have one last fiddle first though......

I think its probably time to call an electrician..... Cheers chaps.

Right - I'll take the ceiling light off - there's loads of twisted/shared wires above the ceiling light rose. If it had come disconnected, would it be live though when I test the black wire?? Thanks again.

Lost neutral - sounds technical. Will I be able to find it again?

Absolutely right - should have made a note of what went where when the old strip light was removed. The new one is actually a mirror with built in lights (25w candle type), so no starter required. I have tried operating it both in 'bare-bones' format (no cover) and with the cover (actually...

I have recently removed a strip light prior to redecorating, and now cannot get the new one to work at all - I must be getting the wiring wrong. I have 4 wires - red (live), black (switched live?), earth (within main grey sheathing alongside red and black), and also a separate very thick...
