I have a multimeter. Can I work it out with that? Of so, could someone tell me how?

OK. Now you've lost me ;)

The switch is in the bayonet fitting (usual push bar type).

Ah thanks very much wingcoax. It's bayonet. Sorted then.

Hi there. We have a modern table lamp which had a molded plug on it. I needed to feed the cable through a small hole so cut the plug off and got a replacement plug to replace the molded one. Then I noticed that the two core cable is encased in clear casing with what I thought was no means of...

Just thought I'd update you on the outcome of this. After a lot of back and forth between myself, the shop and the manufacturer and me refusing several offers, we are now getting a brand new carpet refitted for free. We were considering getting the exact same carpet for our landings and stairs...

Thanks for your replies guys :) Confirms what the shop manager said then. We have used this shop a few times before and had no issues. I have no idea if the fitters are new or not. The shop has been around years and years. I could lift up that edge of carpet but I'll have to check with...

Hi all. I would like some advice please. We had a brand new carpet fitted in November and the fitters advised me that there were 2 "creases" in it and that they would disappear after a few weeks. Photos: Well it's January and they are no better at all. I bought the carpet from our...

The heating engineer is a friend of a friend. No I'm not doing it myself.

I'd seen that one but didn't know that it was a direct replacement. Thanks for that brassedoff. Appreciated. :)

Hi there. I recently had a heating engineer round to look at a leaking combination valve. He says it needs replacing. He said I can source the part myself to make it cheaper. However, I am having a hard time finding a replacement. Does anyone have knowledge of my hot water system and the...

I did! He kept coming to me every 10 minutes to tell me what he was doing etc. and then went off on a tangent every time!

Thanks, feel better now :wink:

I got a price upfront of £40 for the valve plus labour. He spent half the time waxing lyrical with me which annoyed me. Sorry, no offence intended by my post. Like I said, I am no expert and just wanted to check. I was only concerned because it's the second time we've had the motorised valve...

I've just had my central heating fixed due to an issue I posted here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/boiler-firing-up-when-heating-hw-off.327013/ Anyway the Heating Engineer has given me a bill of £240 to replace a faulty Honeywell motorised valve. He was here for 3 hours 45 minutes...

No idea about frost valves, sorry picasso. Ah ok Agile, I feared as much. Will get someone out then.

I have had fun and games with our CH over the last few years. It has had a few issues that have required several visits from heating engineers to fix. A new issue has now just arisen. I have recently noticed the boiler firing up even when the central heating & hot water is switched off...

Thank you so much Paul. That has worked a treat. I now have the phone plugged into the master socket and have ADSL only at my extension. All working as it should. Much appreciated.

Thanks for all your help guys so far. I have run into a problem with getting the ADSL feed from the XTE-2005 faceplate to my existing extension. I have wired up the XTE-2005 faceplate correctly (I think!) as I have phone working from the faceplate and ADSL. Here's what I've done - is it...

Yes I do now thanks. Where do I wire the pair on this faceplate that I bought (it only has 4 terminals): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270759874713?
