Spark123, Thanks for the info, I shall pass it on to my brother.

James, I paid less than £30 for an OBD II fault code reader off fleabay. Came with fault code book, have used it twice on two different vehicles & it works. Just plug it into your cars OBD port, when your ECU light illuminates. Only covers the basic fault codes, but I'm happy with that.

Hi all, My brother recently changed his front room ceiling light/fan. Changed it for a normal light, now new light only works at half brightness & 3 other lights within the house are the same. Any ideas? Thanks.

Jeds, Thanks for the info. Yes it's the low moise frequency I could do with reducing. May have to try other options, have noisy tennants nextdoor. May have to approach their landlord, just didn't want the hassle, but that's life.

Woody, Noise coming in via noisy neighbours (long story). I'll have to give it some more thought.

Garcraig, If you want a go fixing it yourself, read on. If your engine management light is still on, buy yourself a obd 2 reader (diagnostic reader), can buy one off fleabay cheaply. Great tool (I have one & came with fault codes), connect to your obd 2 port...

donr, Don't know allot about Audi's, but some other makes have airbag connecters under the front seats. I had a Laguna with similar prob. I waggled wires under passengers side front seat & light went out, then cleaned up & reconnected connector, prob never came back. Common fault with...

Deluks, Thanks for your reply, suppose were talking mass for reducing sound levels. The thin stuff may be OK at reducing high resonance noise levels, not low? Thought they'd be an easy answer, obviously not.

Hi all, What's the easiest way to soundproof a partitioning solid wall? Would it be a case of covering the wall with an acoustic membrane (1.2 mm) & then plastering over the top? Any other easy diy solutions? Thanks.

Great info guys. Now bought some MCBs.

Thanks for the info guys.

Hi all, Just after a bit of advice, I want to change my fuse board for something more modern. At the moment my fuse board has fuse wires in it x 6. I live in the North East, what would be a fair price? Are there new regulations now? Pardon my naivety. Thanks...

Yippy! After closer inspection, found prob, 5 amp fuse wire blown from sides, old style fuse board. Had lost, upstairs ceiling lights & 2 down stairs rear ceiling lights.

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.

soniya, Have you tried turps sub? Just dab it with a spong or soft cloth.

Breezer, Thanks again for your help & speedy replies. I'll have a look tomorrow after work. The one way upstairs landing light switch also works. Excuse my naivety, what does cct stand for?

Breezer, When I had the loft converted, the electrician ran some new cables through to the extension. I think I know where he took the feed from, should I check there? Obviously I'll kill the supply first. The upstairs landing light works, 2 way switch from down stairs...

Breezer, A couple of months ago my upstairs bedroom light stopped working, it was a loose wire behind the light switch, but that only affected the one light. Where do I start looking? Thanks.

Hi all, I own a 1973 dormer type semi, had a loft conversion 10 months ago. All my upstairs lights are not working, checked fuse box & fuses, all seem OK. Any ideas? Thanks.
