Yep I've had it there and it gives a reading but placed on the cable adjacent to it gives another reading, totally different. Just noticed when on the right hand cable the digital reader shoots up from around 700 watts usage to 2.1watts when a cooker ring is turned on but does nothing when a...

Sorry better pic

Added to my original post. This one shows the clamp in place. Thanks

Guys I had Loft insulation fitted today and was given (free yehaa) a Trec Energy Aware usage moitor. Easy to fit but I want to make sure its done right. I fitted the clamp around the wire shown red, instructions state the live from the meter to the fuse box is "usually" the 4th cable from...

Cheers guys, I'll stop pacing around the rads lol, looking forward to saving thought if the first weeks anything to go by.

wasn't free £500 and a day refitting carpet and vinyl lol

hi we just has a combi system put in replacing our dated oil set up. this was done via a grant £500 questions are 1. Ideal Logic Combi 30 used any good? 2. with the extra pressure in the system I was a tad concerned re leeks at joints Rads etc. ( a weeks passed) should I stop being...

All sorted 3ft length of cable from supply to fitting replaced. no obvious signs of damage. I even wired a lamp holder up using it and nothing. There was quite a bit of excess cable to each fitting but it was tacked (not literally) up so freed it a tad which give sufficient to access fittings...

Lady arms lol I can hear the reply when I ask her to stick her hand into a hole in the ceiling "theres, sipers, mice, dirt" no way!" Thanks guys will bite the bullet and lift the carpet etc tomorrow, hopefully the pair of dud ones are wired along the the same way as the boards so only one or...

Cheers mate I'll check when I get home but I do know I've stuck my hand in through and cant feel anything like a transformer or anything else, if there are then they must be further down the cable so think Ill def have to work from above. As for the lifting of carpet I'd rather pull my...

The lights are from homebase I have looked before when changing bulbs the fitment only drops through the hole about 3-4 inchs then the cable stops so I cant get access, there is definately nothing attached to the bulb holder . I have tried new bulbs even tried them in other units to confirm they...

Hi Guys My question is this. I have 8 low voltage dimmable down lights installed in kitchen . This morning her indoors turned the kitchen lights on and the light circuit fuse tripped. I checked what I could and rest the trip all lights in the house bar the kitchen worked. I swapped the light...

Looks like it .......a call to sky upon return looks a certain possibility, until them the sky box will be phoneless....do they cut the signal after a while if I do this ?

Hi got it narrowed down but still dont understand it lol. connected new cables and now phone works with upstairs sky connected but when you connect downstairs sky I lose phone always with the same skybox even if only it and phone then no phone. Do I need both sky boxes linked to phone line...

Think I'll try and get hold of another phone try 3 phones as you say thinks thats the best plan. Thing is we are heading to Amsterdam this in a couple of hours and wanted the house phone working to check up on the nightmares while we are away I suppose having one sky box disconnected for a few...

Yeah thats just about it frustrating eh

Hi I have ran each cable to each room and tried 2 different phones in the cables all cables produce a dialing tone and phone works. Yes as soon as I plug in the last cable connecting sky the phone cuts out. It dosent matter what sky box it is or what cable Ive used. I think I'm going nuts lol

Hmmm That's the way I have it set up but no joy. As I said if I have the ADSL line the phone and one other line to a sky box connected bingo but as soon as I insert the last line the phone cuts off, I've tried all permutations. could one of the cables be faulty I've ordered new cables anyway.

Would this work
