Have this under one of the basins, can't find anything similar with google image search ... Thanks

There is a switch box under another cabinet that turns 3 of these lights on.

Thanks, it is the second option then. The wires must be under the tiles, it is possible the box is somewhere behind skirting indeed.

Hi I want to fit this cooker hood under cabinet where there is currently a light fitted and no socket nearby. The pictures of the light are attached - I don't know what make it is (likely B&Q, previous owners got most stuff from there) and if mains powered (no visible wiring or electrical...

The gusts cracked an acrylic roof panel on our greenhouse once again. Is there anything cheaper than 3mm horticultural glass from a local merchant (was quoted £9 for 610x715, acrylic same size is double the price from eBay). I use it as a shed so does not have to be transparent or retain...

It only looks rusty, but seems to fix it in place firmly enough. Forgive my ignorance, but is there any obvious reason why I can't use silicone to fix it?

The whole unit ? It only had like 1 month of use since installed.

That's earth, not live, right?

Can't see it there http://secure.tritonshowers.co.uk/electric-showers/t80si-electric-shower.html?spares=true#prettyPhoto Would silicone trick work ?

Ah that one, no I think it is intended, it is in plastic on that side

I took it off for photo, its in the middle of the picture, hanging on the green yellow wire

The shower is fairly new (was fitted a while ago but we didn't use it for a year because of an electrical issue), so it might be manufacturing fault. Can't recall it leaking straight after installation though. Everything inside looks clean and in order, no scale etc. Would applying a thin...

I see, would insulating non-heated walls with Celotex help a bit, it seems like an easy thing to do ?

Hello We had about 2/3 of garage in our link-detached house converted by previous owners (its about 8x12ft in size, artex-like ceiling, wallpaper on walls, carpet on the floor (floor not raised), inside door, outside door and window and a radiator). It's quite cold there in winter time, so I...

What do you mean ? It was running off an extension lead already when we bought the house, I just moved it elsewhere. Can't recall seeing anything specific about extention leads in the manual. It is an oldish wireless Yale alarm system. I think I've checked the CU batteries some time ago, they...

Unpluging whatever does not start the 110+ dB siren :)

I see, thanks. Assumed it would make no difference .. Too much hassle for my DIY level, will probably get this one instead or secure the plug with something else (superglue comes to mind).

In our house we have burglar alarm's control unit connected to an electrical socket via a 1-gang extension lead. Is it OK to wire the other end of the extension lead direct to the socket (so there will be no plug). The socket itself is in a high traffic area. I am trying to prevent kids from...

Changed batteries in all PIRs to Halfrods' Alkaline batteries and it works like a charm. I find it really odd, people say that Duracells are bigger than other batteries, but I actually measured it with a vernier caliper and they were the same size as halfords'. Also same Duracells were used...

No it is corner mounted, same as the other two pirs: p.s. seems to be a similar problem, but no resolution sadly http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=284730 will try non-duracells just in case
