Ok opened the panel. Would it be the yellow and blue I need to twist together?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. This is what I see. I have the engineers code and open the panel to have a look to see how its connected. Thi

Hi, I'm having problems with my magnetic alarms door sensor on my patio door. I can't set the alarm as it says the zone is open. It's a Scantronics 9651. The sensor is old has been glued together by the looks of things. I had a look at the wiring from the back and see the following colours...

Hi, I've moved into a new place and it has a Vailant 838 combi boiler which was installed in the last few months. I've noticed when you turn the hot water taps on it takes 15-30sec for the water to warm. I was reading if you turn on comfort mode it should speed things up, but I don't seem to...

Thanks, so I thought I'd ask at the customer service counter if the cable is rated 18 VAC, but after checking their website they were unable to tell me. I have taken a pic of the back packaging. Do any of these numbers so the rating?

Hi, I've just upgraded my Ring 2 doorbell to a powered Ring Pro doorbell. The problem I have is the power adaptor cable I bought is too short. I need to extend it but am not sure on what cable to use to extend it. I've gone to some local electrical suppliers, Homebase and a few other places...

Thank you guys :( oh well paint stripping it is.

HI, My staircase bannister is currently white gloss and very old looking. Its got layers of gloss from over the years. I would like to give it a dark wood effect. Is there any paint available to paint over the gloss without having to remove it the old gloss or any trick? Thanks Sid

Sorry to cause all this hassle guys. I have one single switch downstairs and two single switches upstairs on either side on the stairs. I'll open them up and take some pics. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I'll check my current switches and count the terminals. This are the range I'm thinking of getting.

Lol it's the Mrs idea to match things in the house...e.g door handles and other fittings. To me there is nothing wrong with the standard white ones we have. P.S it's black nickel she want now!

Thinking about it I do have a three way setup. One single switch downstairs and two single switches upstairs which can all control the upstairs corridor lights.

Thanks for the links - I'll do some studying. I have a multimeter and know how to use it. :)

I'm going for the Schneider electric range . I think they bought GET. Looking for brushed Chrome. Nothing too shiny. Luckily my boxes are all deep ones, well the one I checked were.

Hi, No multi-gang switches.

Hi, I'm thinking of changing my light switches and power sockets, but am unsure of which one to get in terms of fitting. I have some single light switches and some single slight switches which work two way (upstairs and downstairs). I also need to change my double power sockets. I've...

Yes all tight and properly connected. It may have been a bad connection to the backplate, but on two different digistats... maybe.

Very strange....how do you explain this. I bought a non digital room thermostat (Drayton Combistat 24038) and wired it and with the cover of the thermostat tried to adjust the and to my surprise the heating was turning on and off. So I decided to put my old digistat back(wired in the same way I...

Yes I tried my old digistat again and also the new replacement which looks exactly the same. I'm buying a none digital thermostat today and will also try to unplug and replug the integral timer this evening!

The back plate was changed too. :(
