Sounds like you'l have to re-route the switch drops from the current switches to the new location and fit an appropraitte 2 gang switch.

There's no set distance in the regulations for distances of sockets from radiators. What the regulations do call for though is for you to consider infleunces (of which heat is one) on cables and electrical equipment. Ive seen plenty of sockets 'close' to radiators never with any detrimental...

Thought id post back to maybe help someone doing a future search, as i seem to have fixed the problem. I did the following 1, Cleaned the air filter out as it was reasonably dusty. 2, Disconnected the battery for half an hour (ive been told this 'resets' the computer) and tightened the...

Ok, thanks for that, going to have a look tomorrow so i'll post with the results.

Ok, hopefully one of you guys will be able to help. I have a 1999 Polo which has started giving me a problem. When im coming to a stop i will put the clutch down and apply the brake. The car will then do one of two things, 1, The revs will drop very low and they feel 'lumpy' and...

Ah right, i think the screwfix one from memory was a 6 way jb. sounds like you need an 8 way one-you'l have to search the net for one i reckon. Id check how many cores where actually being used for the sounder though if i was you-out of the 8 cores, a couple may have been spare, meaning you...

Attila wrote Far from it otherwise i wouldnt be on here would i. Dont know how you've got the impression i think im an expert to be honest. Ive noticed you seem to enjoy trying to make others appear a bit dim Atilla, maybe that makes you feel better about yourself............thats not the...

The big black thing you speak of is almost certainly your battery-it will have two terminals, a positive and a negative. You can buy junction boxes that will allow you to joint the cable (as long as you have enough slack). Screwfix do the junction boxes. Most of these jb's come with an...

Joe-90 wrote Ok, thanks for that Joe. Im going to go for a viper sensor with the built in mag contact. I'll adjust the sensitivity to suit, my thinking is that i'll be able to make it 'unsensitive' enough to register upvc cracking but enough to register someone trying to smash the back door...

Attilla wrote Ha, ive been reading back through the topic and whilst you offer the opinion that shock sensors arent suitable for upvc doors, denford and joe-90 give the opinion that they can be fitted (albiet requiring some adjustments), hence me seeking clarification..................either...

Thanks for the info guys. Im going to go for a shock sensor and give it a go, hopefully i'll be able to set its sensitivty to allow for the upvc. Is there anything i could do to perhaps minimise the false alarm potential, as the two doors are glass, could i perhaps aim an internal PIR on...

Now now boys, play nicelly. My parents house suffered from the pvc door/shock sensor problem when it was changed from wood to the new pvc. They had an engineer in to alter the sensitivity of the sensor. So, any particular shock sensor that works well with pvc doors. I understand these...

Thanks so far guys. Why not recommend an impact detector on a large upvc door Atilla? What would you recommend? I have a PIR protecting the kitchen but stopping people before they enter would be preferable, which is why i thought a shock sensor would be a good idea? Regards.

Having fitted a Honeywell Accenta alarm panel with Pir's, mag contacts, ect...... im wanting to expand the system to include a shock sensor. The rear of the property has double exterior doors......abit like french doors but with a frame piece in the middle of the doors for them to lock into...

Cheers Denford, i can sleep easier tonight then! :D Strange how i could see the red LED very well though, but no green. Ill have a better look in the morning, I set the timer link to 20 mins (after id left it on test the first time). I did the other recommended tests such as checking the...

Yeah Coljack, its a bit quieter in there though! :lol: and i know lots on here have had experience of fitting alarms. Regards.

Installed a honeywell acenta alarm kit today (my first one ). All programmed in ok and tested out fine. On the bellbox (Reson eight) i set the LED's to CON so they are constantly illuminated. I set the alarm tonight on leaving the property and could only see the red LED lit up. Id also had...

Thanks for the input JohnD and djrock, appreciatte it. I had a better look at the doors today and have come to the conclusion that, whilst they arent the 'flimsy' type internals, they arent exactly 'solid' either. Going to have both the doors replaced for something more sturdy and have...

Hi, hopefully someone will be able to help. I have 2 internal doors in my property (1 between the porch and the living room, and another between the kitchen and living room) that we want to fit some locks to. Having locks on these internal doors is an increased security precaution (and...
