Thanks Steve, its just clicked inside my head and all is now clear. Thanks BAS but I dont plan on rewiring my house anytime soon and nothing in that link explains 2 gang switch wiring.

Thanks Steve, but I'm getting muddled - so I have the incoming mains and connect the brown from this to LI, and add a loop of Brown to the next L1, giving me power to both switches from one mains in. The Mains incoming blue and the outgoing lighting blues - if they are all together...

Thanks Steve, Into the backbox I have 1 x mains incoming - Blue Brown Earth to go out to the lights 2 x Light feeds - Brown Blue Earth ie 2 of each. I want each switch to operate a single light. Nothing is connected inside the switch yet.

Probably not very clear from the title. I have 2 wall mounted spotlights. Wiring is in place and connected to each light and is presently in a wall mounted backbox ready to have a switch faceplate connected. (individual wiring from each light to the same backbox,) Main supply wiring...

So I cant just buy the above 3 socket kit, fit a blue socket to an extension lead and use that to use a customers electricity supply ? Ref generator earthing - how does any current go to ground if you earth it to the van ? Or is this working the opposite way - genny supplies something...

Could this be the solution for me ? http://www.amazingoutdoors.com/shop/ao_camping/accessories/lighting-heating/240v-triple-socket-mobile-mains-unit-with-rcd-protection-j13455.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping-comparison&utm_campaign=shopping-comparison If so - can I get a...

I am guessing this is best put here as it involves 230/240 v supplies. I have a 3000w output generator of no name (old- no stickers or stamps) which has 2 connections on it as the builders use - the round style sockets. 1 x 110v and 1 x 230v I want this to feed 230v to the back of my...

Cheers John, was editing as you typed to say about the generator ! Its a bit noisy for everday use, or if I am in a market or boot sale etc, and should I get a callout at 2am then folks would not be happy with me if I ran it up !

Have 2 key cutting machines to power - (230v .20kw each) need to install bright (spot) type lights x 2 over my workbench Need to install general but bright interior lighting. Need 1 x socket for power tool battery charging (18v Li - ion 2.4 a/h ) (poss 3 x sockets as for key machines too)...

After a van in 3/4 weeks. I think a swb Transit size will be too big, and a Connect size will be too small. Are there any in between sizes ? anything you recommend or avoid ? Only have around 4k total inc vat to play with but want reliability and economy, as well as looking half decent...

Didn't even consider DeWalt - they seem to have gone the route of selling the name as opposed to quality these days. Ryobi look to be quite good big-all, dont think I need all the extra tools though :) Seems to me they only do 1.7ah batteries ?

Will soon be looking to buy some new power tools - cordless drill/driver, etc I expect around 18v battery and metal gearing etc. Any makes to avoid using ? or recommendations to use? Will be used on a daily basis, not DIY. Must be able to get spare batteries or come with them. Any...

Ah - sorry BAS, been trawling van reviews and got every name intermixed in my head - Ford Connect ! The more I think of things to put into the van the more I think it needs to be bigger though ! Thinking about it further - things like the power tools I can most likely get away with cordless...

ok - sorry its not house electrics - but I shall soon be getting a van - and will have need to power mains voltage items from it - electric drill - battery chargers - grinder - that sort of thing - and I also want to have flourescent lighting fitted in the load bay. Never had a van - will...

Thanks Leccy, removed the bolts and checked underneath the motor (nothing) and beneath the top just in case. Jiggled things around a bit and it looked to be all free - stuck it on a spin cycle to check and now it runs as smooth as you like :D Maybe the transit bolt instructions were...

Just recieved new Zanussi ZWF14380W washing machine In the manual it says remove any transit brackets or bolts before use. It says nothing on if or where any are fitted or what type, and the Zanussi website is pretty useless when it comes to support. Just had a first light load...

Problem solved, pressurised sprayers now in hand and no - I did not need to ask the Fire and Rescue services for their advice on what make or model of sprayer to use :roll: I am sure they do, but as I do this professionally they are involved in the notification and planning of every display...

Our regular forces have enough on their plates already without being forced to watch over unwilling 'volunteers' for a couple of years I reckon. I wouldn't want to trust my life to anyone who didn't want to be there - who had no choice but to be there - was only working out their ticket . . ...

Speak to them about backpack sprayers ? Or are you in some way having a dig at me as I use fireworks and insinuating I dont know what I am doing or am acting irresponsibly ?
