    Which Tablet is best for me

    Memory recommendations are difficult as it is really down to the individual. I personally would like to be able to expand the memory as my requirements increase/change. With the Nexus you can buy a OTG cable which will allow you to connect a USB memory stick or card reader to add additional...

    IDE HDD at deaths door, how to fix?

    If it were me I would copy the data onto a new/working disk when the faulty disk is operating normally. If you care about the data it's worth the price of a disk. Your intermittent problem is likely to get worse. edit: too slow

    Garage Consumer Unit

    I thought it would need to go through building control if it contains a washing machine? We were provided this advice in our area although I suppose it may be different elsewhere.

    New Desktop PC

    The £160 computer won't play the FPS games mentioned. It would probably handle Minecraft but that would be the limit. EDIT: Sorry - too slow typing!

    Confused by Wiring on Light Switch

    Yes B and C are the supplies to the light and the fan. If the switches are the 'wrong way around' B and C can be swapped.

    garden mains voltage

    By adding the internal FCU that Bernard shows, with a double pole isolator, you can isolate all external wiring and prevent the RCD protecting your house circuits from being tripped by an fault in your external wiring. Adding the external isolator that you linked would only isolate the...

    CCTV DVR Advice

    Thanks Matt, I'm guessing your money would be on the AVTech? What is the significance of the UK dealer? Do you have any recommended suppliers? Are either the Samsung or AVTech better when it comes to the mobile apps and/or remote admin via PC? In terms of recorded video quality are all...

    I understand why you would give the advice to use 4mm² - you need to give an answer based on the facts you know. Thanks very much once again for your helpful responses - I have learned a great deal. Edit: Thanks John :)

    Connect Oven to a Cooker Outlet

    And the reason the flex is unlikely to effect it is because the short length of the flex (1-2m) and the difference in diameter (2.5mm² vs 4mm²) is likely to make little difference to the EFLI compared to the 'fixed' part of the installation at 6mm²/4mm² which runs the distance from the CU to the...
