    LED Lamps

    were these a standard length? the only 7W I have found so far have been longer than GU10s, ie about 70-75mm, fine for open fittings, but dont fit most D/L

    Cable Capping "Rapid Cap"

    apologies if this was a genuine post, but if you look at the OP, is does look like a typical spam post. Ill echo the other thoughts, being totally enclosed, is it a cap, or is it a conduit (with the relevent issues that brings) Plasterers are brought into it, as its a widespread belief that...

    Need help running in virgin media cables

    just been having a chat with a friend, he advised calling VM and asking for an ENGINEER for your installation, not just an installer. as they are allocated more time on your property, not just a hit and run guy.

    Need help running in virgin media cables

    no, you do not need any fibre cables, or cat 5 for the installers. You will need a Co-ax connection from the box at the front of your house to each point that you want a box, and your router, the fibre optic bit of virgin broadband stops at the street cabinets, its fed to you through the same...

    router problems

    whilst wifi is usable for general use, IMO, its just not reliable enough for gaming. It doesnt matter what it is, wi-fi, video senders, radio mics, £10000 of wireless kit, still will not be as relaible as £10 of cable, it just isnt. I recently got a wifi scanner for my phone, and it has...

    Relay wiring prob

    first up, whats the lighting desk, I cant think of any where a simple key switch wouldnt be up the the task. Second, why don't they just turn the dimmers off? presumably when you say lighting desk its for some sort of performance space. dimmers are usually located somwhere they cant be fiddled...

    Older Wylex fuses

    not sure what you mean, changing the push button for a switch style mcb won't change the fact there is no RCD protection, I was merely asking why the OP wished to change form push button MCBs to the newer style MCB, when both do the same job.

    Small van and trailer

    any trailer over 50% of the kerbweight of the towing vehicle or over 750Kgs needs to be braked. seeing as you passed your test prior to '97 you can pretty much tow what you like http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/WhatCanYouDriveAndYourObligations/DG_4022547...

    rf modulator problems

    check what the V+ box is sending down the scart, IIRC mine will do RGB, composite S-vid and somthing else I cant remember right now. try it on composite, alot of the cheap RF modulators can only do this, not rgb etc. also, try retuning the TV, if the old box was just off channel (eg 52.6) it...

    Small van and trailer

    I don't know how old you are or when you passed your test, but check you can actually tow such a big trailer legally. Maximum Gross Train Weight (ie gross(max) weight of both tow vehicle and trailer) is 3.5tonnes if you passed your test after (April IIRC) 1997 Also, if you had licence after...
