    Vauxahall Vivaro 52 plate

    Thanks burner man, been Googling and lots say mass airflow sensor. So its worth pooping it in the garage, as it doesn't sound too bad. Is the MAF sensor easy to get at, as I noticed I have lots of leave debris under the bonnet so may have sucked a bit of poo into the sensor.

    Crabtree starbreaker

    Thanks for the replies, going down the line of just fitting new c/u and leaving Crabtree alone unless customer wants to pay for EICR on this board. Wasn't sure if a RCCB was suitable for replacement for main isolator. Forced contact reason sounds good enough not to do it.

    Crabtree starbreaker

    Crabtree cons unit feeds 4 circuits, want to add 2 circuits from old fuse box but c/u has no rcd protection. Is it ok to remove the main isolator and replace with 80amp 30m amp rcbo or does a double pole isolator have to be upstream in a consumer unit.

    Extending spur in kitchen

    Solicitors paperwork will ask about the electrics and certificates. If you do not own up to carrying out notifiable work then if caught you could be sued. If you admit doing the work then certificates will be asked for. Sounds like you have done what the electrician would have done except it...

    CU replacement advice needed

    As above, in my opinion you are not asking for rewire so insisting on splitting the circuits is not required. I would carry out an electrical installation condition report first and then discuss any faults found. You may decide on a rewire depending on how the testing goes. Say no problems than...

    moving a master socket

    Attempting to move a master socket and shorten the drop cable, before I just cut it to required length, is there any voltages to be wary of. Or is it best to strip it back and cut each wire one at a time. Stupid question I know but never done a phone line before.

    Fire rated downighters and smokehoods

    Please be aware of the clearance between floors for heat dissapation of downlights. You may not have enough room inbetween your ceiling and the upstairs floor. Also is yours a lathe and plaster ceiling as its an old cottage. If it is then its no downilghts for you in my opinion.
