Model No K411a. Unused for a few years due to a leak I didn't have time to fix. Last week made time to remove the casing and have a look. Water leaking big-time from one of the 3 white plastic "plugs" (with O-ring) that sit in the cylinder head.. it was broken (frost?). Unscrewed the 4 big Allen...

Thanks m8 ..but I guess if the work is non-notifiable (and I think it is) then I need not worry so much..but I think I have enough pre-2005 cable and parts anyway.

thanks all..interesting topic. I shall get on with my job tomorrow. I had forgotten that bit about non-notifiable work. I don't think I would want to try and cheat the system though ..i.e. on a notifiable-type job.

thanks for that Chri5..as I thought then ..one is really taking quite a risk doing stuff yourself post - partP? Can you or anyone elaborate on the post-partP cable colours and fitting issue. ..i.e. if I use old cable (new/unused and fit for purpose but bought pre-Part P..and old (but new )...

I want to run a spur off a ring main into my adjacent conservatory in my UK house. I am capable of doing the job and did quite a lot of electrical work on the house before PartP(?) came in (just a few years ago if I remember). Back then I got an electrician friend in to check the work I did...

thanks for the offer assuhors...I have sourced one now..but to be honest didn't realise exactly what it was for. re Cyprus..I hope you have aircon wherever you are going in late July..35C in the shade this p.m. .

thank you for the reply..I am trying to source one of these as wifey is getting dishwasher-withdrawal symptoms..it appears to be made by R.E. M. and apart from the serial no. I quoted it says on it in tiny writing!: 0.1 microfarad (symbol)F, then below that 0.1 microfarad(symbol)F(x1)1M omega...

Yesterday, mid-cycle there was quite a loud pop in the kitchen..electrical smell..and the dishwasher stopped. It hadnt blown the 13A fuse? in the plug ...or tripped the mcb? (its the only appliance on a 16Amp radial circuit). When I looked round the back of the machine there was a small sooty...

no I just measured between the live and neutral at the litle terminals behind where the bulb (normlly) screws in to the holder. I didnt expect to find a voltage present there

my sincere apologies for any confusion I have caused..plugwash is right I did mean mcb...sorry had also fitted an rcd double-socket for external use recently..."rcd" was still embeded in my brain! Yes so the mcb for this lighting circuitwas switched to "off" manually and the meter showed...

Wanted to change a lighting fitting yesterday..I have 3 x 6 amp rcd -protected circuits so I located the correct one and flicked the trip-switch off manually. I did a job last year on another light fitting and got a bit of a tickle with the rcd switched to off!..so I switched all power off...

thanks Spark..no there wasnt ...but when I eventually got a bit of time and searched the net proerly I found that entering the serial no. 313-3ag gave me the clue.

apparently its a delayed (time delay) fuse I need. mods close the thread .

Hope its ok to post it here...(thought I'd have more joy than in the garden section!) I need to replace a one-and-a-quarter inch 15A/32V glass bodied fuse (by Littelfuse USA - 313 3AG) which is held in the normal 2-part plastic holder..wire in..wire out type. It's on the alternator circuit...

>Mosez..thanks for the link. >Spark..I wish there was a Screwfix..some things are good pricewise..but bigger electrical stuff can be dear..take e.g garden shredders ..useful as stuff grows like hell with all the sunshine :) about 40% like for like more expensive eg Bosch..some people import but...

I'm not sure about Cyprus requirements Spark?..& I may get a sparky in as it happens just because of that...I don't want to invalidate the house insurance etc. I want to fit an new external/weatherproof double socket (without inbuilt rcd) ,which I already have, on an outside wall. I thought it...

Is there any inherent advantage in using a socket which contains inbuilt rcd (such as the Timeguard ones which trip at 40 milliseconds) as compared to the use of standard add-on devices to a normal socket..with a similar rating. Basically it seems the latter option is significantly cheaper...

ask them what their C&G centre number is ....and post it on here.

anyone recommend an oil CH boiler?..cant get mains gas and dont want to bother with bottled gas.

> Agile..actually I'm in UK right now..I flit back and forth according to the seasons..here for Christmas with the mother in law! This thread relates to my UK house which is on a private water supply..hence the need for a U/V "filter". But yes we have plenty of good builder's merchants in...
