Your (only) option is to remove the fitting and use a multi-meter to check if there is a complete circuit in the fitting. It is not unknown for one of the contacts in the fitting to fail to make contact with the lamp, in which case you may be able to tweak it with a small screwdriver.

Tried plugging into socket in lounge, everything fine.

New ring installed when kitchen fitted. socket in question is spurred off double socket above work top. As stated the engineer from hob suppliers has been on site,and cleared doubts on faulty hob. all sockets on ring work on other appliances, no voltage between earth pin and socket earth. :?

Westie, i have changed the socket and checked the connections ,so has the engineer from the company who supplied the hob. Polarity and earth are fine.

deleted: double post.

Got called to a neighbors property the other day, They had an EICR a couple of months ago and a new kitchen installed last week. The problem is that when they plug in the hob ignition the main RCD trips(literally just the earth pin on the plug) it turns out that the gas pipe is copper solid...

That is quite common, it saves having to use a connector. As stated you can connect a length of three core and earth at the switch if you cut the neutral and fit a connector to join the two sides and add the neutral from the three core and earth. join the live incoming to the permanent live in...

The incoming live to the switch is your permanent live. Check using a multimeter which of the lives is the feed and you can link from there.

Yes! As you have been told one of the extra brown wires in room one should be connected to the permanent live to give a permanent live in room 2. As you do not appear to understand basic electrics you should really contact an electrician, it should take him/her a few minutes to put right.

Just follow Dinopowers advice.

What is the cost of the genny? How much fuel will you use? You can work it out from there. :?

It sounds very much like the fan is dead, they are not hard to replace with a basic knowledge of electrics. You need to know whether it is a run-on timer or basic fan to get a replacement.

Sorry! but the only way to fix it properly is to remove the plate and re rivet the pillar back into place withe the handle attached.

precisely what plug cutters are for. glue it in and re drill your pilot hole.

If waste not being removed i would look for a blockage from the bowl downwards to the stack outside.

Work on at least 4.00mm. What load do you expect to put on the supply?

1.00mm t&e can be used from a FIXED supply i;e a fused connection unit with a 3a fuse or flex from a plug, again with a 3a fuse.

Connect the blue?(in the supply cable) to the terminals with the blue, the red to the terminals with the brown and the sleeved earth to the separate earth terminal.

It all depends how long it has been there. Removing it can be a bit of a chore and there will be marks where the roots have penetrated the brick or mortar. If not too bad a good pressure washing can remove most of the marks.

Do you have to use batteries? Use a 12v transformer, that will work both no trouble. You just need a bit more "Grunt"
