    If all other lights are working and the light was working before you replaced it. You could have pulled the cable out of junction box in ceiling void :( Did we not bin the neons :evil:

    Difference between C&G 2330 and C&G 2382, 2377 etc e

    HA106420 my thoughts are as follows, It is all about progression, start of with the basic stuff and move up from that point. Did you say you was 28 years old so I assume by now you have something between the ears and not just wax! Your best route would be 2330 Level 2&3, you don't need to...

    First rewire - any advice or books that will help me out ?

    The electricians guide wont help with the re-wire, this book explains the 17th eds in a clearer fashion than the big red book. Not sure that a book would be able to help you as you said you have the paper knowledge just not the experience. But you said you've done a bit of house bashing in the...

    FCU to electric towel rail - aaargh!

    but we can not confirm a working supply. You said you fitted a 13amp plug to rad and worked ok. We now need to find out if the FCU has a supply source, you need to find where it is spurred from and prove that the supply is still connected up

    are any of these courses suitable

    I'd suggest, 2330 level 2, then progression to level 3, then 2381 as you only need to take short exam as you have level 3 qualification. Most of the inspection and testing will come at level 3 and if you wanted after gaining some experience then do 2391/2. I would not attempt self learning of...

    Gaining Part P Registration for DIY

    It would be best to take a level 2 course with progression to 17th eds, but at level 2 with my experience of it, the inspection and testing is only slightly touched on. Local Building Controls fees are about £125 for work that is valued at £0-£2000. When using building controls i'd suggest if...

    MEBC not present.

    I think you need to make the customer aware that you can't do your primary test on the installation and if they can't be done none of the others can be, as it will fail to comply to standards required within BS7671 and GN3. So certs and schedules can't be made out. If your offering it for free...

    Exterior Socket - Cable rating?

    Depends on the power circuit you intend to take the spur from in the garage. But sounds like your not an electrician, so do you have any knowledge of part p of the building regulation. If not your a naughty boy! :shock:

    C&G 2391 + C&G 2382 are not formal quals?

    if I remember right? :roll: With NAPIT you need a level 3 qualification not particular an NVQ. Are 2391/2 2381/2 not considered Level 3?

    Re-wiring costs

    I don't think corgi do full scope, but the corgi engineers are define scope which means they can work on the electrical circuits on boilers/central heating systems. But that does not allow them to do a full re-wire under that scope even if they are part p qualified (what ever that is?) Can't...
