No probs. I can see that replacing the current stat with a CM907 is possibly the cheapest and easiest way to do this. It's not a major problem having the hot water timer still in the airing cupboard, but it would be good to have them combined.

Cheers. Yep, I know the boiler ain't the best, but it's not been too bad for us. I thought that if I just replace the current thermostat with something like a CM907' I wouldn't need new wiring? Like I say, ideally I would replace the current stat with a combined heating/hot water and...

Next job in my massive list before the new baby arrives is to sort out the heating/hot water controls. We have an Ideal Icos boiler with a hot water tank. The system has a programmer for both heating and hot water by the hot water tank and a separate thermostat on the hall at the top of the...

Just sorting out paint for the kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom and want to do it the moat cost effective and durable way. In the kitchen and bedroom the walls have been lined with wallrock fibreliner. The bathroom will be partly lined with wallrock and the rest over old paint on plaster...

Thanks once again. Glad I didn't rush into this and now have a much better understanding. The only thing I am not 100% clear on, is why that red live is just terminated into that connector block and doesn't seem to be connected to anything?

Excellent thanks. So nothing in my photos gives any concern? I have ordered the fittings (went with the JCC ones) and some 4.5 and 5w lamps from LED Hut and some junction boxes. Will get myself some 3 core .75mm heat resitant flex tomorrow.

So, my intention is..... Remove the transformer. Put a junction box in its place. Wire in the Live and Neutral that currently go in to the transformer, as they are, into the new Junction Box. Remove the connector block that is joining the earths, and put them both into the new Junction...

Right, I am nearly sorted I think. Just wanted to post some pics of the current wiring to get your input. Heres the light fittings currently off the 12v transformer, to be replaced by 240v fittings/GU10 LEDs.... Heres some closer pics at different angles of the connections currently...

Thanks. I know about tile on tile and the things to consider. I am thinking now Mapei Keraflex (or keraquick?) and Ultracolour? Mainly so I can order cheaply online, but have access to it locally if I need more than I buy. Thoughts on that?

Cheers. So those fittings and lamps would be ok? I am guessing, as they are cheap, they wont have in and out loops on the fittings so probably best for me to go the maintenance free junction box route. Which junction box should I use? Mains in, and out to three lights. In fact it would be...

So, as the lights are old and dirty, I am thinking of taking them out and replacing them. So...if it take input mains cables out of the transformer can I the fit them directly into the first downlight fitting and then daisy chain to the second, and then from the second to the third? Is it as...

Thanks. Yes, that powers all three lights.

Managed to access the transformer for these lights. Heres a pic of it

Some advice please..... i am doing some tiling in the kitchen and the bathroom. I have ordered some Zanzibar 10x10cm wavy edge tiles for the kitchen in the lighter (beige and white) colours. For the bathroom, some Grespania Galaca 40x25cm in the light blanco colour. Bother ceramic tiles. All...

Sorry, I missed answering the question. No access from above. Starting to realise its going to have to be pull off the board and do again. That will also open up more options for the lighting anyway. I would hate to leave what we have, put the new tiles up and then have the transformer...
