    [/url] Then what you need is something like this That connects to the cable modem you picture above, you can then connect over wireless or using an ethernet cable

    Two people sharing broadband.

    You just need a wireless cable router, this connects to the virgin modem. (sounds like you may already have this from your description) You can then either use a long patch lead from the PC to the router, or install a PCI wireless card and connect over wireless.

    shower

    Why would this matter, as long as the cable was correctly sized?

    shower

    You'll need to cut the cable back so its nice and shiny bright copper. But replacing the pull cord should be ok, making sure you connect to the load and supply terminals correctly.

    Size of cable required

    I reckon it was the subconscious. Hot tub installation = female electrician :wink:

    Mira Elite st shower cutting out

    And how exactly would that explain it tripping when switched off? How long would it take for an unknown type of breaker or fuse to trip at 42.6A (probably 40.8A)? And from the OP's description of a separate enclosure, i'd say its even more likely to be an RCD, but until this is confirmed...

    Mira Elite st shower cutting out

    As Taylortwocities has asked, what is written / printed on the device that trips? Is the device actually part of the consumer unit or is it in a separate enclosure? Its sounding more like an RCD at this time, which may point to an insulation fault. You'd need an electrician with proper...

    Do short jail sentences work?

    I had the misfortune to be on a bus recently where I overheard a conversation between a couple. The girl said to the boy "don't worry the short sentences are the ***king worst, at least with the long ones you can get proppa settled in" So to the crims, short sentences seem to be worse, but...

    I certainly don't consider myself to be in any crowd. I've not been insulted on this site as far as I can remember, maybe ribbed slightly when I've said something dumb but isn't that just normal life? I have great respect for the people on this site that take their time to help posters solve...

    What's a troll?

    Trolls are a personification of our day to day frustrations. To get rid of them, we simply need to get along. ;)

    I'm struggling to understand your bizarre sentence structure but to summarise, 99% of your posts seem to be exchanging "tit for tat" insults with other forums members. Why bother? Why not share your skills and experiences in the other sections of the forum instead, I'm sure you have some...

    CSCS or ECS card confusion?

    Mine is a CITB card, I think. BAE systems wont let us on site with anything else.
