I think that's the only thing that I haven't done wrong! :) I will check the connections at the switch and fan tomorrow

I've also just ordered a multimeter :D This is an absolutely brilliant forum, thank you all

Hi both Thank you for such speedy replies. I guess the good news is that the electrical connections are correct, the not so good news is that I'm shockingly bad at wiring. I have ordered one of the junction boxes that EFLI suggested and will amend immediately. Sorry. The other bit of not...

Hi I've been trying to wire in my new Manrose timer extractor fan but without much success so I was really hoping someone could point out my amateurish mistake(s). I've uploaded a photo of where I've got to and any pointers would be really appreciated. The cables are, clockwise from the...

I know that I'll remember, I can't speak for the wife....

Hi all Thanks for all your advice, much appreciated. I think I'll go just for the 3 pole isolator pull cord approach, with the cord near the light switch, and hope that I/the wife can remember to turn it on/off when we get up in the night! This is a great forum, cheers again

Hi, yes, it's a timer fan and although I want it to come on with the light and then remain on for a while after I'd also like the facility to turn it off completely so that it doesn't come on when, for example, I go for a pee in the middle of the night! If I got a more appropriate pull cord...

Hi all, I'd appreciate any advice on the final part of my first rime bathroom refurb - I've done OK with the water side so now it's onto the electrics. I've bought a Manrose MF100T, an in line fan with a timer, and I want to install it in the loft so that it can be turned on and off from a...

Hi all, cheers for your replies. I think I'm just going to go for the feather finish as it's easier and more importantly cheaper! Will let you know how it goes

I'm currently trying to refurb our ensuite (so far so good!) and have just laid 9mm ply on which we want to put Karndean down. I'm following the very helpful advice on mattysupra's sticky about levelling floors but i'm a bit confused about the f-ball screed. Judging by posts and a video i've...

You're an absolute star, thank you! Hope the kids behaved.....

Hi Eco, you very kindly gave me some advice a few months ago and I was wondering if I could trouble you again as we still haven't managed to fix our boiler (we have an electric shower so don't smell too bad!). I have a faulty F30 with a flashing L5 that doesn't fire - I changed the water...

Hi all, Many thanks for the feedback, I haven't had a chance to put any of it into practice yet so if anyone else has got any advice it's much appreciated, hopefully I won't kill myself in the process! :wink: Cheers

Hi all, many thanks for all the advice - I'll be giving it a go tomorrow evening so any further tips in the meantime are greatly appreciated. We'll just have to cope with cold showers until then!

I guess that's the trouble with wanting to know what's going on...when someone is kind enough to tell you (thank you!) you haven't a clue what they're talking about. When you say the pressure sensor do you mean the low water pressure cut off switch? And I don't think I know what you mean by...

Ah, sorry, I didn't mean it like that, it's just that I've been stung before (not by plumbers I might add) and I guess I'm like everyone else in that I'd like to know myself what was going on (every day's a school day...). I understand your point of view though, sorry for any offence. Cheers

Hi, I drained our CH system yesterday to install some new rads & valves upstairs (though I didn't manage to drain it all as there's a loop going downstairs that doesn't have a draincock on it). The hot water was fine in the evening but this morning there wasn't any :( Now, if you run the HW...
