The electrician had to the testing on the bathroom as he had installed 3 x downlighters.The bathroom company would not let me do it as i was not a recogised electrician.He did Part P the installation and we got a certificate 3 weeks later. I have done 16th many years ago ,but when the lads...

It is clamped on ,and when i moved in 7-8 years ago the nice man from the electricity board came to inspect the meter and fuse etc.If it had to be sweated/soldered on surely he would have told us then. My bathroom was part-p inspected 1 month ago and the lad told me to change the earth then...

Thanks i never thought about that one ,but i think the brand new consumer box would a dead give away. I will remember it well thanks.

I have had it out to check it.Surprising the fuse is not tagged ,wire locked crimped or ,there is no nice colourful stickers on it.I did take the load off the supply before i removed it. I will contact the supplier i check with them,they will probably tell me to get a elecky in.? Thanks lads.

Probably an old one to the site regulars,but i have just looked at the main incoming fuse,and found its an old 40amp one.Trouble is the house was wired by the council and a new 100amp consumer box was installed.House is now private. Should this fuse be uprated by the electrical supplier,i take...

Thanks Sparky 123, I went offshore in early nineties because the domestic game was quiet and the money wasnt too good.I did the 16th but that was a doddle compared to this Part P classification.So as you can guess i am a little losted when it comes to knowing what you are allowed to do and...

I have just had a 9.5kw shower plumbed into my bathroom and it has been connected to my old council fitted MK box which is approximately 12 years old.I bought an RCBO 32amp ,but then realised that i should have installed a 40amp ,i think.??? As i had a lot of trouble trying to fit the RCBO into...

Thanks i did the obvious and tried to pass the belt under the wheel.All working now thanks.

My main belt has snapped after six hard years,so it has done well .I have got the new new belt around the drum but cannot work out how it goes around the motor pulley wheel.The users book does not show how to change this belt either. Help with a site or advice appreciated.

I had the same problem here about two years ago.Got the experts in and they found it was the flue.Where the flue went through the loft a coupling was broken.Point to remember here is that the flue on this system is a pipe within a pipe,if the two gases come together it crates an awful racket.I...

With reference to my last posting about when using the shower(when the heating was on and it goes cold every so often).I can tell you if you turn the shower off then back on it does come back,the hot water does.I do have combi shower(mira). Another small thing happened this morning,i put...
