    Can anyone offer information about this cover?

    Exactly like mine and yes pretty heavy and you will need to clean round the joint before you can get it out. I use an old fashioned bone handled tabll knife.

    Single FCU to Double FCU

    Yes, if the original one is a spur you can just feed the new one from the downstream/output side. In fact even it it's not a spur. I would not think you are likely to need the controller powered when there is no power to the opener.

    URGENT: Anything else to try before calling out an electrician?

    Ah, yes, that is not just a switch it is also an RCD, so we can deduce that this is a TT supply and that you have an earth rod somewhere (photo of the earthing/bonding for completeness pls). Proceed exactly as ETAF suggested and let us know the result.

    URGENT: Anything else to try before calling out an electrician?

    Portable Aircon Unit how best to plug in..

    I'm guessing you bought it through Amazon rather than from Amazon. Inventor are a UK registered company, their contact details are available on Amazon so you could contact them directly.

    Split DC Inverter Type Air Conditioner

    E1 suggests it's a common error; a likely cause is loss of refrigerant pressure - you'll need a suitably qualified engineer to top it up. In any case messing with aircon is not really a diyjob and can be hazardous.

    Oh dear! (Shoddy electical work) (Ed.)
