That begs the question what does the switch do then?

It does look a little like that, I've just checked and it is actually 4

Disconnected yellow from timer, turned circuit on and lights STILL on!

Definitely not energy savers, just Philips 60W ES.

Thats because I've been trying to figure out what's going on. The little red switch was at the top (1) position. I should also point out that this setup was working fine until a couple of days ago when we noticed that the lights did not turn off automatically as they had been.

Correct

I don't think the switch contacts are welded together. I replaced the switch and the problem is the same.

The fluorescents are not controlled by the timer. They are in the garage and switched using normal wall mounted switches. The only reason for mentioning them is that they are on the same MCB in the CU.

unfortunately not. I've tried to trace them from the lights themselves and from the switch/timer without success.

Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Do you need any more detail? Many Thanks Steve

Hi M there was a blown bulb, I have now replaced that. I also replaced the switch, just to see if that was the problem, no difference. More information. The only things on the circuit are 3 60W outside lights and 2 fluorescent lights in the garage. Using the switch on the CU only turns...

I have a UPVC double glazed back door that the previous owner put a cat flap in. I'd like to replace the non-glazed panel containing the cat flap with a plain white panel but not sure where/if I can buy such a thing. Any ideas? Thanks Steve

It's internal. There is already a pipe running to it from an old sink that I removed previously. However, this pipe runs down the outside of the bathroom wall and I want to be able to hide it. Thanks Steve

I'm going to fit a new sink and a bottle trap as seen here http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=88104&id=10004 My question is, when running the pipework from this bottle trap to the soil stack do I need to "box" the pipework in at the wall or do I channel out the wall? I only need...

Thanks for the reply. Time for a re-think then.

I'd like to install a real effect gas fire in my current open fire place. The issue is I do not have a gas supply to the fire place and it would be too disruptive/expensive to do this. I do however have a large storage area behind the chimney, but still inside the house. My idea would be to...
