basically its about being able to hide any wiring. the wall the sensor and light will(might) be fitted to backs onto my garage, so any wiring will only be seen in the garage, as I will drill holes behind the fittings through to the garage. getting a cable to the door means visible...

Great advice guys, I forgot to mention that the porch is closed in and the reason for waist height is literally to detect entry to the porch and switch a light to illuminate the porch itself to aid opening the front door at night etc etc, its not intended to detect anyone approaching as the...

looking to fit a sensor light into our porch, but there are no sensor light (combined) untis that are to our taste. So I have thought about fitting one of these, at just about waist height (to prevent any unwanted triggers by passers by)...

yes its only the kitchen tap, so I guess that rules out the float valve in the header tank (should have spotted that :oops: ) The kitchen tap is a basic cheapo mixer tap which really needs repacing as it leaks when turned.....I have replaced the o rings on it.....

When we start to run the hot water tap in our kitchen the hot water pipes start to "ring" and reverberate through the system , in a similar way the toilet water feed pipe sounded when the float valve needed replacing/fixing......the only thing I can think off in my limited knowledge is that its...

Our Dyson DC04 is not as powerfull as i think it should be, filters are not too old and all the removable pipe bits are clear, and i have removed the beater tube and de-haired it so its clean.......however think the dust and crap that it picks up should be flying round inside the clear tank at...

I think its the same in the MANWEB area SP will change Iron Clad cutouts FOC. They want them off the system, and while they are there they will change your tails. If in any doubt report a smell of burning coming from your meter cupboard to the DNO. they "should" respond smartly to that...

we (She) hasnt picked out an oven yet, but the installation instructions will be followed as far as "Reasonably Practible" to quote my DNO Operations Green Book :wink:

Our current oven is connected via a 13A plugtop plugged into socket that is fed from a fused switched spur. ie the socket has a 2.5mm T&E feed from the spur and the spur is fed via a 2.5mm T&E connected to an old 4mm cooker feed elsewhere in the kitchen. NOW most new ovens I can see demand a...

Central heating system is a Y plan I think (3 way motor valve)....with a worcester 24i boiler (not combi). When cold the pressure guage is at zero, but when operating the pressure is in the green range on the dial......but falls back when totally cold again, I have topped up the system a couple...

Seen that done Spark123....or we have a portable trip battery with LONG leads for "suspect" breakers. But wherever possible the switches with an operating restriction on them are made "not live" before operation.........Thats not to say the modern stuff doesnt have its faults....both types of...
