    noise from disc brakes

    Or worse case scenario John the pads could be down to the metal wear indicator rubbing on the disc. My Saab pads have a small metal tab that comes into contact with the disc when they are wearing thin and makes a screeching noise, why that dont have a wire to illuminate a warning on the dash i...

    Security light with pir. (120w bulbs)

    I've just bought a security light to install on the side of the house, it states to use two core neutral/live wire, why does it not state 3 core which will include an earth? I'm only guessing its because the unit is made entirely of plastic. I want to use 1mm 2core from lamp, down to ground...
