This is slowly driving me crazy!!!! We live in a 3 story house, with a megaflow tank on the top floor. There is an en-suite on the same floor which has been fine for 8 years but now for some reason makes a banging noise. The noise is coming from around the shower, and starts when the kitchen...

Hi All, What a week we've had!! Megaflow sprung a leak (9yrs into a 10yr warranty), boiler pcb failed (£250 from baxi!!) and now the plumber tells me the programmer has died. Thing is, I have a feeling it's not been connected correctly when the house was built. Shouldn't the cable going into...

Two 6mm cables in the back and one at the front. The connectors easily took the two together and I was able to get loads of turns on the screw so they are not going anywhere 8)

most of your questions have already been answered many times over You need to reroute the original cable because it will be near a wooden beam. Just make sure your lights are at least 100mm away either side from the beams. THEY GET HOT

Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it. Sorry for not being very clear, basically it was wired like this Consumer Unit > 6mm T&E > MK Double Socket > 6mm T&E > CCU > 6mm T&E > Cooker Because of the double socket having the hob and dryer plugged in the dryer itself would not...

YOU'VE BEEN TOLD ALREADY! GET AN ELECTRICIAN IN! If you don't know what daisy chaining means then you should not do this job yourself!!!! People ARE helping you and are being the way they are because they don't want you to kill yourself. Do you even know how and where to drill the...

The flex outlet plate is fused. I've put in a 3amp fuse for the hob. Not sure what you mean with the second question :lol:

You have failed at the first step because you seem to want to just wire those cables dangling down to your new lights. This is a fire hazard! You need to pull those cables back to a different location on the ceiling. You do realise how much heat spotlights produce? You are going to end...

6mm t&e coming into the double socket and then going out to feed the cooker outlet. I have removed the double socket and replaced with a single flex outlet and blanking plate. The issue is that because I need to connect two 6mm cables into the flex outlet the holes are not big enough to take...

Just daisy chain them all. Take the original lights down, pull back the T&E to where you want the first light to go and wire this in. Then wire some extra cable (I use 1mm T&E) from the first light to the second, then from the second to the third and so on. Make sure the lights are well...

Hi all, Here's the situation... We have an integrated double oven sat in our kitchen connected through a cooker outlet using 6mm T&E. Next to the cooker outlet is a double point which we have the gas hob and tumble dryer conencted. Unfortunately the tumble dryer has never sat flush...

Hi, Hope someone can give me a few pointers here. We have had issues with plumbing in this house ever since we moved in. The pressure keeps dropping to zero everyday. I have to keep topping it up but don't know why. I've checked for leaks and can't find any. No air in any radiators...

it looks worse than it is. That unit in the first pic has now been removed so the cable has a little more slack. It's drooping under the units so not too bad although I wish I hadn't cut it too short now. That said, you're not supposed to have more than 2m anyway so don't want to run an...

:lol:

mainly to stop the earth sleeve moving about when I'm screwing in the other wires.

always put black tape on, don't worry no cut cables :lol: Yeah I know the clamp is supposed to go on that part but I had cut the cable a little too short :oops:

oops, nearly forgot. Can we plug an integrated tumble dryer in the now spare 3pin socket?

Thanks for all the help, got it working :D Silly me measured te cable out but ended up cutting it a little short but it just reached without being overly tight. I had heard that oven cables should not be over 2m in lenght. Well this one is slightly so having it just reach might be for the...

ok just got back from b&q. They only had 6mm T+E so I got that. Not got any crimping tools or anything so can I just carefully wrap it around the screw and make sure everythings tight?
