I don't think the 2382 contains any practical work at all.

As long as the appliance isn't built in then yes it's acceptable. Whether you'd want that as your single point of isolation is up to you.

Would anyone care to share some tips on how they make replacement CU's neat when they haven't got full control over the existing cabling without external (or internal) extension please? I've found some lovely pieces of work on this site but as far as I can see they're new installs which are...

Yes.

I don't fully understand your first point so won't comment on it. Your second point is good advice, if a way of testing that the power is indeed off is added. Your third point is incorrect I'm afraid, anyone can replace a light fitting without notifying anyone else, whether they are capable of...

Coincidently, I was just reading this earlier http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/Telecoms/Telephone_Wiring.htm

To be fair to Currys they do state that if you choose their installation service: I only know that as we purchased an oven recently and happened to look at the installation options available from high street stores :)

Reg 531.3.1 states: That's probably what the electrician is going with, I think he'd still have to ensure the correct disconnection times are met though.

Wago do a good range of alternative connectors http://www.wago.com/cps/rde/xchg/SID-73BA9279-14F34155/wago/style.xsl/gle-325.htm

Ah well.

Thanks, if only I'd mentioned earlier that I must've input something incorrectly.

By all means...

Oh, my apologies to the OP in that case. I just used TLC's calculator, I guess I input something incorrectly although having another go gives me the same results, ah well.

From what I can work out standard buried 2.5mm SWA will carry 21a over 38m whereas XLPE will carry 25a, so you really need to know what you've got and your expected load before you go with that cable, you're probably looking at a 20amp breaker by the way. You could terminate the internal SWA in...

It's acceptable to Elecsa too, so is fitting socket outlets evidently.

I doubt any of the scheme providers will do anything like that whilst they are still fully functioning, if any of them did their members would just migrate to another scheme leaving them up poo river. You can see why Corgi have done it, they're probably desperate to keep the name going due to...

You've no need of facts, I do, as it's my name on the EIC. Your vocational history is fascinating I'm sure but that's of no help to me. I'm not relying on hearsay, rather the current IEE regulations as far as I'm aware of them. Now, if you're privy to a solution that supersedes them and...

I am & am going to but they're closed until Tuesday and I'm not very patient when it comes to conundrums. The advice on here is frequently as good anyway :)

I respect your opinion PoD but have you got any facts to back that up? I'm not about to lend my signature to some random internet info :)
