One bedroom, the others are fine.

Bye the way, It's 9 low volt halogens.

My bedroom lights have gone out. They were fine last night but wouldn't switch on. There was no pop or anything like that. I checked the consumer unit and the fuses haven't gone and all the other lights on the same level are fine. Any ideas? Is there anything simple I can test before I...

My C28 is doing exactly the same as mentioned. Is this a common fault with these boilers.

I have an Ideal C28 combi boiler. Recently there has been an intermittent no flame problem. Everything else sounds like it is working but no flame. I have also noticed that the pressure goes from very low to very high. I have tried letting some water off with no help then topping up with...

About four years ago we bought our house and did it up. We laid wood flooring and let the wood acclimatise in the house for three weeks but hadn't taken into account the amount of plastering we had had done. Fortunately we only laid it in a couple of rooms. Unfortunately the floor has...

Result. The wire from the junction box to the transformer had burnt through. I think it had been routed too close to the lamp. Easy change, like for like and pushed everything through the hole as far as it would go. Also as a result, once I had fixed the problem the switch started working...

They were. If it is a melted cable is there an easy way of pin pointing where it is? If not, I presume it could be a big job to locate it.

Yeah, the switch as well. No the lights have been fine. Not even a blown bulb for ages now. In another room a couple of transformers have blown. Might get round to doing them at the same time.

Will change the transformer (I have a few spares knocking around) and switch then hold my breath / call out a professional. Much thanks

I am guessing it will be the transformer for the light that flashed (and charred) when they went out.

Each has a separate transformer (I think). It's a normal switch which now won't switch.

An RCD for the lights in one of my rooms has just blown. The room has 9 low voltage halogen bulbs. I reset the RCD and turned them on again. Pop and one of the lights flashes as the RCD blows. I take the bulb out which has a spot of black charring on the back, change it and reset the...

Sorted. It does have it's own switch. Both browns to L. One blue to N and the other to L1. Thanks anyway.

Our bathroom extractor fan died. Looks like a be snarled one of the blades (wouldn't turn till I fished it out) and it may have burnt out the motor. Anyway, I am changing the unit and I cant work out the (simple) wiring. The unit I am putting in is the model up with a timer. The old one had 2...

I have 2 systems in my house (was like that when I moved in). Downstairs is on a combi and upstairs is a pumped system from a tank. With the pumped system there is a slight problem. Every now and then when an upstairs tap is turned off the pump keeps going on and off. It is on about one...

We have a push button toilet flush with the cistern hidden behind a tiled unit. The button is a bit stiff for a start but the main problem is about half the time it is flushed the syphon doesn't seem to properly engage and we get a continuos trickle into the pan until it is flushed again. The...

I have recently fitted a pale oak front door to my house. At the moment It is totally untreated, just plain wood. I want to weather protect it without changing the feel or appearance of it. What should I use? Idealy I dont want to varnish it. With thanks.

Stacked in the house (had a lot of work done). and I think its floating though not sure.

Oak front door. What is the best treatment for them?
