...power rating - kW, you know.

...cheers Spark + Ed

Hi All, assuming a new oven was replacing an old one of the same energy rating, and the cable/cooker connection/isolator were adequate for the old, so should be OK for the new. The CU contains ceramic re-settable fuses (with the little red pop-out button), and no RCD protection. Could...

...thanks all. It was the expense of it that concerned me. Obviously nothing I can do myself though.

...sorry - I'm obviously not an expert. Is the double-glazed unit separate to the frame and glass, or is it the glass also?

...yes, unfortunately!

Hi All, I have a large sliding patio door on the porch at the front of the house. It's got condensation, so looks a bit crap. Could you advise on the cheapest method to rectify? thanks Alex

...cheers Pete - i appriciate the sentiment anyway, but it can't be all bad if you have a wii !! Simond - Yeah, 'spontaneous' was somewhat superfluous. I guess I was just a bit bemused at the location of the leak. I had to renew my homecare a couple on months ago, - I did not think it...

...I'll turn the rad off and call you in the summer Petetheleak !!!!

first things first - no they're not pink!! Some kind of filtered or reflected light i think!! Thanks for the replies. I was hoping i could just stick some putty on the hole or something but it seems from the responses that i need a new rad. I dunno about the inhibitor etc. BG installed a...

This radiator began to leak for no reason. It's a pin-hole where the seams join. There does not appear to be any corrosion beneath the paint. Is there any way to repair it in-situ, without welding? My wife found the leak shortly after it started - how often does that happen!! thanks Alex

...me too. But it is not 'unsafe' as such, and if you aint got the money.....

...Some RCD's like to just keep tripping once they have been tripped. Same thing hapened to me. I changed a lighting circuit sligtly - RCD tripped. Put everything back to how it was, then activating the shower tripped the RCD.

...no, the incomer is a 100A breaker.

..The 50A is for the shower. Current for this actually works out to around 38A. The 32's are rings - up,down and extension. Up and extension is low use.

...I did some more investigation tonight. With everything dead, I did a continuity check between the neutral at the switch and all the neutrals on the RCD side of the CU. 2 of them were positive. - upstairs ring and downstairs ring. So it seems that the lightswitch neutral is connected to 2...

...great, thanks again. (this is connected to my other thread - The present RCD takes a while to re-set, and also, I thought it may be worth trying, just in cast the old one is no longer performing properly).

1. The RCBO on the non-protected side is a good Idea. There is a spare way but the busbar does not extend into it. Can i buy a new busbar? 2. All the lights were already there. We had a problem soon after we moved in, so I took the wall lights off. I only connected new lights back up...

...Thanks matthew, It is a Volex CU - VCU6.
