    Outside light stopped working, cable came out behind switch

    Hi, Firstly, thanks for the help. You affirmed my thinking with the wiring. So i demantled the lamps and dids a continuity test. The existing red wire in B1 with the cyan arrow is actually dead. It might have been an old outside light that was on the corner wall that the previous owner...

    Hi, My outside light stopped working, which consists of a light bulb either side of the front door. I removed the four gang switch faceplate and discovered a red wire has come loose. With a tester I identified that this is not live and presume it is the circuit for the switch and should be...

    Two circulating pumps on a vented CH system with open vented HW cylinder

    Hi, I just moved into a new house (built 1996) and struggling to work out why I have two circulating pumps on a vented central heating system with open vented hot water cylinder. Circulator 1: Permanently running (even when the boiler is not running) and is hard wired to an on/off switch...
