to be fair it was a while since i did the check, i know it wasnt to low though because i checked another forum to see what reading i should be getting. when i have had to jump start the car using another car with jump leads when both batteries connected together the lights work as normal and are...

i have a problem with my car lights, all lights on the car (headlights, brake, interior etc) start to flicker mainly when the car is idle or below 1500 revs. i have a vauxhall astra estate and was wondering what size battery is needed for a car this size, as the one currently in doesnt look that...

need to get access to a roof space above an extension, the only way to get to it is via the loft hatch then through a very small hole in the wall through to the new extension. not sure who they got to wire up the electrics but they must of been bloody thin. Im wanting to know how much of the...

When making alterations to a bathroom lighting circuit that is fed from a rewirable fuse, is it acceptable to put an rcd fcu in the loft with the bathroom circuit off this. just wondering on the implications of having an rcd in the loft and accessibility wise if it ever tripped?

is that the same house as the birds nest?

not of they are labelled for a specific peiece of equipment they dont

but surely with an extension lead all sockets could be used. And if a socket is specifically labeled for a piece of equipment the cables would have to be 50mm deep or mechanically protected still. Think thats where ive got my wires crossed

under the 17th sockets can be omitted from an RCD by means of machanical protection i.e steel conduit. But if this socket can be used to supply equipment used outside the equipotential zone i.e lawn mower does this need to have an RCD?

im ok with the electrical side of things, i was just wanting to know,if the tank is at the same hight as the shower would there be enough pressure to supply a hot water feed to the shower as well or would a pump need to be installed?

314.1 (i) then cheers

so its basically a lighting issue until the fault is repaired then, so proving you install emergency lighting throughout the house you could in theory use a single rcd board and comply with the regs.

ok cheers for the info, it was more to do with the regs side of things and what was stated. so would installing a single rcd board now, contravene the regs then. just curious as to how the regs interpret it.

not necessarly install a pump becuase im not sure how it all works pluming side of things, so i was just after the best options really, best way forward, to avaoid putting in a new electric shower and up grading to 10mm cable

where in the regs does it state that a dual rcd board has to be fitted in accordance with the 17th? if you have only say a 4 way board ie, lighting, power, shower, and say water heater would you still need to split the circuits or could you still use a single rcd to cover everything?

currently have a 7kw elec shower with under sized cable 4mm. This is fed off the cold water feed. The shower is at the same hight as the water tank which is in the same bathroom. rather than upgrading in size of cable which would mean a lot work getting the cable up into the bathroom, would it...

its a possibilty but was looking for a simpler option, i take it there is nothing on the market for this type of problem?

can anyone advise the best option for a shower screen where my bath over laps a window by about 6-8 inches. Currently have a shower curtain but ideally would like a screen but can find anything that would fit around the window as such, any ideas?

thought the prob was solved, but its back, i can get the boiler running again by pushing the contact down on the diverter valve assembly so when the boiler kicks in it pushes it back up and activates the micro switch. But after several hours i get the warning light again, "pump 0r low pressure"...

cheers very helpfull
